Ethan Arrives

It was on Thursday night at 11:59 that Ethan decided to arrive. No induction, straight forward and natural. Kirsty is a "machine" when it comes to giving birth. I am so proud of her.

Ethan is perfect in every way and although he still needs to undergo some tests, those that have been done prove his good health.

God knew what he was doing when he made it the task of woman to look after and give birth to babies. Woman I salute you.

Things are not often what they seem

The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster if emotion. The due date for baby is the 9th of August, however the doctor is planning to induce labour on the 25th of July.

What has amazed over the last two weeks is the support that we have received from one of the local congregations in our circuit. This has truly gobsmacked me. I am not used to it. In fact it is something that I struggle with.

I have no problem being kind to others, but struggle to receive kindness for myself. It takes getting used to.

Peter the car gaurd that works round the corner from our church is having his birthday today, Beverley his partner dropped in to bring us some cake, thanks Beverley.

Happy Birthday Peter
