This past week I had something so beautiful happen to me. I went this past Friday night with a friend to a church program her church was having on "healing". When I heard the word healing I knew that no matter what I needed to be there. I showed up a little nervous I would get too emotional and embarrass myself in church in front of all these new people. The first song we sang was "Healer" by Kari Jobe. That song felt so raw coming out of my mouth as the lyrics say:
"You hold my every moment. You calm my raging seas.
You walk with me through fire, and heal all my disease.
I trust in You, I trust in You.
I believe You're my Healer. I believe You are all I need.
Nothing is impossible for You, Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands."
After the first verse of the song the lady up front pointed at me through the audience and said "sweetie, do you mind coming up here?"
I walked up there and she told the congregation I needed prayer as I just heard daunting news about my baby. The whole congregation prayed and a few people laid hands on my stomach. During the service a lady reached over and whispered in my ear "She will be a princess for the Lord, an advocate for his miracles. She is special. It's all going to be alright." Nobody told them I was coming, nobody told them I had issues with the baby...
I left there feeling as though angels flooded those women and without me saying a word they knew I needed prayer and knew London's purpose. I believe the Lord gave them a pulling to talk to me and address London.
It was the first time I have experienced prophecy and it was amazing.
Since the change of news in our baby I have been in overdrive. I am usually type A and enjoy staying busy but lately it is times 5...or 10!
Our house is spotless, I spend hours in Target, go to the grocery store, started setting up London's room and have made numerous lists. Being busy is good for my mind right now. I feel happy when my life feels "normal" and not like our world is different.
My plans for London's room is I want it to feel "whimsical". I love Anthropologie and their style. I had to stay away from that look a little bit in the rest of our house because it can tend to feel "girly". London's room is free reign on GIRLY! Right now she has some coral ruffle curtains that are my favorite part of the room. Little miss will not get to see her room for the first few months of her life so when she comes home I want it to feel fun and care free. This style is something she can grow with and enjoy the patterns and colors.
Today we had our first regular ob appointment since the news. I felt such anxiety pulling up because it was the first doctors appointment. This appointment will be the least nervy because all he does is check my vitals/levels and listen to her heartbeat. Her heartbeat was strong and good. He said it is in the normal to strong range which is amazing if she is working with her left ventricle only! She has some sass to fight!
Because of our transition to Dallas, I'm sure the planning and decorating will continue and in full force. Everything will need to be done by the end of April.
Today I can go to sleep knowing my little girl is kicking, has a normal to strong heartbeat, and I'm holding up pretty darn well.





You look adorable. Completely adorable. I've been praying since we got the news. I was raised by a prophecy speaking momma in a church that spoke in tongues. It's amazing the electricity you feel when something like that happens. Now a Catholic, I understand how it's a gift from the Holy Spirit.
