It looks like we have a baby on the way. Amber called and she's heading to the hospital. Her labor started earlier this morning and she spent a few hours timing contractions before waking Ryan. I'm sure it's nice to be married to a physician in moments like these. Agreeing that it was time, Ryan loaded up his bride and drove her to the hospital. When they drive home they'll be a family of three.
If God prompts you to pray for Amber, her baby and her husband, please do!
Amber asked me to be her "guest blogger" so I'll be posting - from my phone - on her blog. You can follow along here.
John 16:20b-21 (Jesus) - But your weeping shall suddenly be turned to wonderful joy [when you see me again]. It will be the same joy as that of a woman in labor when her child is born—her anguish gives place to rapturous joy and the pain is forgotten.
Good luck Mark,
Hope you and Sheila make it up there in time for the birth. Tell Amber and Ryan I said good luck / congrats (depending on when you get there).
I'll hopefully see you this weekend. Love you guys.
