Love does not boast
Love after all, matters the most
Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep locked inside
Love is a river that flows through
Love never fails you
Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease at the end of time
and Love will protect
Love always hopes
and Love still believes when you don't
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you
When my heart won't make a sound
when it can't turn back around
when the sky is falling down
nothing is greater than this
greater than this
Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way, the truth, the life
Love is the river that flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
and Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you

This is the song the struck my heart the morning after we learned our Greenbean is a boy. I can't imagine the fullness of love our Father has for us, but I do know that the love I have for my husband and this baby grows leaps and bounds everyday. What a joy to know His love is far greater!
As I start the third and last trimester of this pregnancy, I can't help but look back on the first two-thirds and sit in awe of the miracle that is 'being pregnant'. I am shocked at how quickly time has passed and how much the Lord has shown Pete and I over the past 7 months.
One thing is for certain - we are blessed! Blessed by a God who is HUGE and yet knows the most intimate details of our lives. Blessed by a Savior who loves beyond barriers. Blessed by a Spirit who leads and guides. Blessed by family and friends who offer support in trying times and rejoice with us in glad times.
I can't wait to bring this baby boy home! (Although, I must admit, I sometimes get nervous when I realize he won't come with an instruction manual...) What a joy it is to pray for him, his life, and the testimony of God's love, grace, mercy, and power that we hope his life will be!
This last trimester will be filled with many joyous occasions - Thanksgiving with great friends, Christmas with family, celebrating the New Year, and it will culminate with our son's birth. The next few months will fly by, so I hope to enjoy every moment and cherish the together time that Pete and I have as a couple before we become parents.
What an awesome journey we are on!
