Well, Bekah went to the doctor yesterday for her ultrasound and it looks like we are having another boy! We are thrilled! Our daugther, Kate, was hoping for another girl. She said, "Well, the next one will just have to be a little girl!" Next one? Poor Bekah. : )
Anyway, mommy and baby are doing well. However, the doctor said that Bekah has to take it easy. She's been having way too many contractions this early in the pregnancy. She works so hard on the weekends, setting up and tearing down the nursery, overseeing the pre-school, and then just being there for people in the hallway.
Something cool happened earlier this week. One of the ladies in the church (Robin) who is already serving in the children's ministry team realized (actually, she felt the Holy Spirit revealed this to her - and she was right) that Bekah needed to take a break until after the baby was born. She offered to serve in Bekah's place until she and the new children's ministry director could raise up more leaders. That's awesome!
That's what church is all about. It's sticking together and looking out not just our own interests, but also to the interest of others.
Who can you look out for today? What ministry can you get involved in this weekend?
PS? Any suggestions on names for the boy?
