I was sitting in the service yesterday and realized just how good God has been to us lately.  He deserves a praise blog!

He completely answered my prayer about when Asher would be born.  In order for me to not lose part of my paycheck, I needed to have Asher Saturday, Sunday or Labor Day.  I prayed that Asher would come in His timing but that sure would be nice if He could work it out for that weekend!  It just amazes me that we have a God that answers little prayers like that.  It seems like in the whole scheme of things as something insignificant.  It reminds me that He loves to give good gifts to His children, whom He loves.

And then with Asher’s birth, I was just nervous.  And then the epidural didn’t take away the pain (Asher was “sunny side up” and that causes back labor).  But I just prayed for Him to get me through it and seemingly miraculously I dilated from 6-7 cm to 10 cm in around 30 min.  It was all over really quickly!  I was so thankful.

We got a little worried about Asher while I was pushing because his heart rate was dropping and they put oxygen on me.  Mike leaned over me and prayed and our little boy is so perfect and didn’t have any problems after the initial 30 sec. after being born.  He has been so easy thus far!  I have always said that Nolan was so easy, we are doomed to have a little terror for the next one.  But this is far from the truth, atleast this first week!

And finally, I was just so excited yesterday to go to two services at The Patio.  It is such a great opportunity for us to make the kids ministry really awesome.  It flowed great, just giving us good momentum.  It feels good to be here as a church.

So thanks, God, for doing all of this awesome stuff.  You are so good to us!
