My first blog....FINALLY!! (No...you're not being April fooled!)

Good Morning!!

Today we are celebrating our youngest son, Benjamin Josiah Logan's 1st birthday.  Yaaay!!  Our household is very excited about it to say the least!!  (Right Pic: Christmas 2010 morning in Baltimore)

            Benjamin's birth and first year of life reminds me daily of God's faithfulness and fulfilment of His promises.  As the tears are popping out of my eyes (lol), I look back at how the Lord has matured and continues to mature me into motherhood.  If God hadn't asked us to release my womb to Him for Ben to come, I wouldn't have gotten a chance to see that I've grown more patient and less anxious as a mom than with my first 2 boys. With Ben's birth, I received another opportunity to see that when the Lord ADDS, He also MULTIPLIES!  He added Ben to our quiver (Psalm 127:4-5), and then multiplied provision.  I like that kind of math!!  

A big part of me wishes that he could understand what this day is about, but somehow I know all he'll do is laugh, smile, eat, sleep and make LOUD sounds like he's done every day prior to his birthday.  Although this day bears great significance, there aren't any plans to do anything grand THIS year. So, the pictures we'll take, the stories we'll tell and the cupcake we'll give him will have to do for now.  :  )
