Part of me is sooo glad it's all over, and another part of me feels a bit wistful for such a sweet, tender time when God showed up in the middle of crying and diapers and exhaustion and aaalllll the junk. :)Whitney @ Journey Mercieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883204197351783710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727103479255164461.post-13361891680162044692014-11-12T09:09:58.311-06:002014-11-12T09:09:58.311-06:00Oh no!

It has to be on par with the whole goodness of CREATION we find in the book of Genesis. "And God saw that IT WAS GOOD!" If God is calling you to marriage and babies -- I can tell you with full confidence that there is complete and total JOY in that calling!!! Don't be afraid to run after HIS will!!! You will NOT be disappointed. Thank you for your kind words - means so much! Truly! YOU are good. YOU are loved. YOU are enough too!!! Love you back XOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771660422142873021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727103479255164461.post-47994601136027632982014-11-11T07:36:43.014-06:002014-11-11T07:36:43.014-06:00Brittany!!

I especially LOVE the line you wrote about your baby(ies) being a "breathing representation" of the love you and Nathan have for each other. That made me stop. And think. And re-evaluate me not wanting kids or not wanting to get married for that matter. You are good. You are loved. You are enough. :) And your children are beautiful and wild and crazy just like you and Nathan which is AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing about the stuff no one wants to talk about - and thank you for making it real. Love you!!Catyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15433840885814707110noreply@blogger.com
