A number of years ago, my sister, Abby, and I were fortunate enough to hear Joe Stowell give a sermon during Founder's Week at Moody Bible Institute on the "Muchness" of God. (For those of you that are not necessarily into the "church thing," that was pretty much name-dropping in the Christian world! Haa, just kidding!) Thinking back on it last night in bed, I realized I am there. Where total awe of God meets the realization of his generosity.I am so elated to be having this baby boy and am overwhelmed by how much I already love him. For those of you who are probably not on the brink of having their first baby, remember no matter what God is not stingy. He delights in giving us His goodness in a generous and abundant way.
For a just a glimmer of my favorite sermon of all time check out: http://www.rbc.org/bible-study/strength-for-the-journey/2008/10/14/daily-message.aspx. A great site for devotionals!
Psalm 84:11
All sunshine and sovereign is God, generous in gifts and glory. He doesn't scrimp with his traveling companions. It's smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies.

Thank you for such a beautiful and encouraging post. It is so wonderful that God's most miraculous gift to you, is also something which brings you closer to Him. I mean, what a double bonus! Joe and I are doing the devotion later tonight! Love it! I certainly will always remember the other Joe (Stowell that is!) saying the word "muchness" throughout that message! Sad to leave Mexico, but sooo much to look forward to here! Can't wait!
P.S. Do you guys want to hire me to be your doula? You may want to ponder...
