A celebration and new life

This weekend we were so blessed to celebrate the closing of our local Planned Parenthood abortion clinic. Austin and I have been praying outside that place since our college days. It was almost surreal to stand outside it and celebrate the fact that it is now closed, and that the scorn of abortion will no longer be in our community. Amazing. Of course, we still have work to do in the rest of the state and country! But it was so beautiful to be reminded of all the amazing people we have right here in our town that worked so hard to make this happen. God is SO good!

And on a related note, we are celebrating our own new baby in the womb. I am now about 12 weeks along, and we heard a nice strong heartbeat yesterday. So hopefully at the end of March, we will be welcoming our 6th baby!
