Gender reveal

I lost the battle! The battle of knowing gender or not! I was outnumbered and out emotioned (making up my own words, get used to it) 

We started the day off with regular get ready for school activities and responsibilities, but by 11am we were picking up our Chasey girl (a promised ultrasound date) and dropping off the Buggy (aka malachi who can't sit that long) and we were headed to lunch! 

Olive Garden is always Chasey and daddies first choose, those two are similar and very much joys of my life. 

Next was......

The big reveal!!!!! An hour long ultrasound is fun and long hahahah it's an amazing feeling watching this baby that is inside of you, breathe and kick and punch and wiggle and imagine it's so much smaller than it looks and yet so Human and so Real. The baby wouldn't turn to its side for them to get the inside tummy pics they needed so at one point they had me doing jumping jacks, toe touches, and squats to get it to move.. I told them I don't know if this will work it's used to me running its moved by little. 

Sure enough hop back on the table NOTHING.... It's still in the same spot mind you tucked little legs crossed feet means no gender either! 

After about 45 min of pics and measurements SHE revealed herself... 

Lack of boy parts people... Shock of my life #2.... 

My sweet Chasey started crying and gave me the biggest hug as I was laying on the table, saying "I prayed for this mom I prayed so hard and God answers my prayers first for the baby, then for a sister!" I of course was crying then too;

I wish I could have packaged that moment into a picture or video but my terrible memory is all we will have,it was perfect!

 Baby Syphard #4 is not a boy as my husband and I were convinced, and we will have another princess roaming around our small castle. I know the Lord has bigger plans than we can even imagine therefor I know she belongs in our family. It was a shock (I don't know 50/50 seemed a long shot) but my world is so full right now with love and excitement and planning and feelings I haven't yet figured out;) 

  Hope you enjoyed my short story and I can't wait to share more with you. Be blessed and be a blessing know God is always working on our behalf and never leaves us wanting. He is a father and a giver and He knows the plans he has for us! And His thoughts are so much higher than ours- Jer 29:11 

Power in the blood

I've been sitting on my thoughts and stories lately trying to decide if I had anything fun or interesting to write about and have decided nothing exciting has happend. Yes life has gone on, yes things have happened, decisions have been made and changed daily. Kids have done funny and interesting things and we have all continued down the road of life without major injury or change in the last few weeks, so I guess that is something to write about hahaha (moms you know what I mean) 

Today is Sunday morning and I am enjoying worship with my church family and husband by my side. Our worship team starts singing "power in the blood" one of my absolute favorite songs but immediately I think one phrase. 

"Just one drop of your blood Lord" just one drop of your blood could heal, it could fix it. One drop would be more than enough for anything anyone needed. Just one drop?! And yet he gave us His Whole Body. It might sound odd and maybe you've already gone down this road with the Lord, idk. Today for me I felt a differnt strength in what I was asking of the Lord. 

I was immediately reminded of the women in Matthew 9:18-26 she said " if I could just touch his garment I shall be well" she knew in her knower, her spirit man, her inner hurting and longing self that all she needed was a touch from Him and it would change her whole life. 

The bible says it many times, here's just a few that His blood covers a multitude of sins, His blood was shed for us 

Matt 26:29, Eph 1:7 

His blood is for us it's for YOU! 

The bottom line is if your searching or waiting or longing for an answer or a healing or an act of some sort Im believing in my spirit this is for you as it is for me- Gods blood that was shed many a years ago is ENOUGH, was ENOUGH. One drop, one touch, one beliefe is all he's needing from you, so touch His garment today. Touch his face in worship today, believe and you shall be healed!!
