39 weeks tomorrow

Zeke will be here any day (we hope!). I'm actually writing this to record Mia's 18 month Dr.'s Appt. I like to know that I have her height and weight recorded somewhere other than the little piece of paper that I scribble the numbers down on while I'm there. At her 18 month appt (she was actually 19 mo's) she weighed 23lb 4 oz (25%) and 32.75 (75th%) inches long.
I just started to read Ezekiel-I researched Miriam before we had our Miriam-and I am amazed at the power of God. Nate tells me that Ezekiel means "strength of God", but it has definitely opened my eyes more to who our God is and how much wrath Jesus took on in our place. Ezekiel was used by God to be the one to tell Israel the things they didn't want to hear with no guarantee that they would ever listen. Imagine being so filled with the Spirit that you can tell an entire nation complete truth straight from God knowing that no one will listen. We pray that God will use our children in their lives to fulfill His purposes and glorify Him. We know that might not be an easy path to accept as parents, but what more could we want for our kids than to have an awesome relationship with the God of the universe and to serve Him their whole life in response to a love for Jesus. If you would join us in praying for our kids that way, we would really appreciate it.
