He takes away and he gives. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Yesterday mid-morning, Abraham and Molly stopped by.
“Abraham, aren’t you supposed to be at work?” we both asked. “I’m going soon,” he answered.
Molly hadn’t mentioned to us that this was the day for their ultrasound, but now they needed to tell us the results.
She took a deep breath, “We found out that our baby looks . . . fine . . . and so does her sister.”
I can’t even begin to replicate the hoots and tears and shouts and laughing that filled the next who-knows-how-much time.
Then they pledged us to silence until they could make lots of calls and spread the news themselves. Of course, we knew that already and agreed. But I’ve been bursting in the meantime. My heart is full and I think it’s going to explode and splatter words everywhere.
But for this moment, please don’t miss what Abraham and Molly have to say.

What amazing and wonderful news. I’m all choked up and thrilled for you all!
I’M SO EXCITED TO BE THEIR AUNT!!
Congratulations!! What happy news!
Could you even function yesterday? I could not. Adrenaline overload. I plan on returning to normal function until late July. In the meantime, I will continue to be amazed at this display of God’s power and tenderness and love!!
It was a good thing when they finally told me they wouldn’t be posting publicly until late because of making so many phone calls first. So I could stop refreshing-refreshing-refreshing Molly’s blog to see if it was time yet that I could say something.
Course, I’m doing the same thing today. Refreshing-refreshing-refreshing both their blogs, soaking up all the well wishes.
Indeed! Yesterday, I scanned the baby girl section at Target half-hoping I might run into you so we could rejoice together!!! Good news is only improved upon in the sharing of it and relishing in it! (which is why I went to molly and abraham’s 2X yesterday!!!)

My wife and I have 14 month old twins. We didn’t find out till our first ultrasound at 19 weeks. Man I think all I could say was “wow… that’s crazy”. They are such an amazing blessing and fun experience. Congratulations!!!!
SO incredibly thankful and so happy for you both!! I was bursting today and all that came to mind (besides tears) was how the Lord provides more than we can ever ask or imagine. Rejoicing with you.
I am laughing and crying with my hands lifted high! What an incredibly great God that He would do this for your family. My heart is full of praise!!!!

Such heart-filling news! We are full of joy and thankfulness with and for you all.
Congratulations to all of you. So excited and happy for everyone.
WooHoo!!!
Rejoicing!!
Such a wonderful story of God’s generous blessing and grace! I know you and John have to be pinching yourselves too. Thank you for reminding us (me) of God’s work in Abraham’s life as well. As I wait for God to work in my son’s life, I cling to His hope. Congratulations, Grandma.
I’m curious to find out what blog system you have been using? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more safe. Do you have any recommendations?
