Babies and Trusting in God's Plans

First I want to say sorry for not posting in a while. We have been so busy cramming all that needs to be done into the 5 weeks before Gage gets here. I have finally come out of my denial and realized that Gage will be here regardless of if we are ready or not! So we have our hospital bags mostly packed, we installed the car seat in the car on Sunday, my husband did an awesome job of picking out and buying a crib and mattress all on his own yesterday. Last night the purchased crib was assembled and we picked out and ordered a crib bedding set that should arrive soon. I will post pictures of Bright Eyes setting up the crib as well as the finshed product as soon as we get the bedding set to pretty it up. But through all of this preparation I have often had another Baby on my mind as well. I have a friend from church named Marie who just gave birth to a baby boy named Joshua. Baby Joshua has been born with cancer, a rapidly growing form of cancer. Joshua is receiving chemo treatments , his name is special name to his family and as far as I know he is being a standing strong, and being a fighter just like Joshua in the Bible. His parents are also taking a queue from the Biblical Joshua and putting their complete faith in the Lord's plan for Baby Joshua's life. It is an inspiration to see the trust this family has in the Lord. I thank Baby Joshua's family because in a way this family has helped me come out of my fear of being a new mom. I realized that my worries and my fears are so petty compared to what Baby Joshua's family is going through, and if they can come out giving God all of the glory in whatever trial or worry their family faces, then I can do the same. Please if you took a moment to read this post, please take just one more moment to pray for Joshua and his Family.
