Waiting. Isn't it hard to be patient? Not always. Last night we got the call that our dear niece Kelly had gone into labor. Kelly is not due until December 22, so this is a prayerful situation. Today the ultrasound showed that the baby seems to be further along than was thought, and Kelly has been given steroid injections to help the baby's lungs develop, but we are all praying. There is a silver lining to this cloud; Kelly and Doug are here in B'ham so I get to see them! I'll even get to visit my newest baby in the hospital. But we are asking anyone who happens to read this to pray with us for Kelly and the baby, for Doug, for Moses and Makenna who are back home with their grandparents (and for their grandparents!). Please pray that the baby will not get here until the right time. So you see, this time it is a little easier to be patient.

Today I am most thankful for good doctors and nurses taking care of our family, and for the knowledge that God is taking care of this little one and Kelly.
