Waiting on Bethany!

Ten days away. Ten days away from December 17th! The estimated date that Bethany Joy Allen is to arrive! We have everything ready for her. Her little bed, the rocking chair, changing table a stroller. The car seat was installed by Bob yesterday in the car. The bag for the hospital has been packed and repacked! Her little bottles have been sterilized along with her little pink pacifiers, and the outfit for her trip home from the hospital has been prepared. All of the earthly things she will need are ready for her, but more importantly, we have been praying since we knew little Bethany was to be born for her Spiritual needs. We know that God has a plan for little Bethany and we pray each day that we can raise her up in a way that she would be able to fulfill that plan, just as our wonderful parents did for us! So, we wait excitedly for the arrival of our Joy! One of the joys in life that the Lord has so graciously bestowed upon us, and most definitely one of the greatest joys of all!
