Gifts of God

As most people know, who read this blog, our baby Aaron Lee Williams was born July 21st. He has been such a delight! I love my babies so. I can't help but stare at him, and I marvel at the miracle he is (and that all my children are). He has a look all his own, and yet he looks like he is one of us.
In the months previous and weeks after his birth have been those full of commotion, frenzy, faith, and prayer. We have been trying to sell our home since May. My previous post explains all this. It has been a difficult experience, especially keeping an immaculate house with 4 children for that long. Things seemed to just get worse and worse around here. It was at times discouraging, but all the while I spurred myself on saying, "It is all a trial of your faith. The Lord has not led you here to abandon you now." I am glad to say that exactly a week after Aaron was born we received 3 offers in the same day. We agreed to one of the offers, which is somewhat strangely a family we know. I have prayed and prayed unceasingly since May and I still feel good about it all. I hope that things will continue to go well. If all goes to plan we will be moving in a couple of weeks. I am so grateful to the Lord for His love and gifts to our family. Even when things seemed they couldn't get worse around here, and then it kept seeming to get worse, He provide the way to take care of our needs. Now that is LOVE!
Enjoy some more pictures of our newest little one. He is only a day old in them.

He's adorable, Katie! Just as adorable as his siblings were at that age. (They are still adorable, btw. How could they not be with parents like you and Walt?) Congrats on the house! I'm excited for you and you continue to be in our prayers. Love you and miss you.
