Excitement In The Air

For the first time, last night I got to feel Jarren kick in Stephanie's belly. WOW! It's absolutely incredible that in her belly is my son, Jarren Andrew, due to be with us March 21st. It's fun to play with Dreyson, our 20 month old, and think that not too long ago he was no bigger than Jarren and in Stephanie's belly. Now he's this never-stopping, fun, full of personality little guy. It just makes you wonder: What's Jarren going to be like? What's he going to look like? Will he look and act like the picture of Dreyson?

Is he going to sleep for us? Ok, that's a selfish one, but if you've had a kid then you've thought it too. I know that I will, but I still wonder how it is possible to love another child as much as I love Dreyson. Will he be healthy and smart and strong?

Having a child is an amazing experience for so many obvious reasons, but I didn't know that it would increase my faith like it has. We have little control, if any, over our lives, but in asking all these questions about an unborn child; in wondering about his health and traits and personality, you come face to face with the fact that God, and only God, is in control. He's the one knitting, not us. He will bless us with the perfect little baby boy and no matter what we will love Him. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
