One week ago today everything changed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our beautiful girl came into the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To say we all fell madly in love would be an understatement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has definitely captured all of our hearts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have spent the last seven days adjusting to being a family of five. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And while it is not without it's hiccups, I am feeling so very, very happy and blessed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
This is the post I have been intending to write this entire pregnancy. But I haven't. This is the post that has kept me from blogging all these months. I want so much to be honest and genuine in this space. To maintain a sweet balance of the happiness I truly do find in my "beautiful ordinary days", while at the same time not sugar-coating the hard times.<br />
<br />
But sometimes it is really, really hard for me to find that balance. <br />
<br />
So when I can't find it, I avoid it.<br />
<br />
But here I sit 40 weeks, five days pregnant with our dear Eliza. A million and one thoughts are running through my head. Of course, at the forefront is how very anxious and excited I am to meet our sweet girl and to hold her in my arms! But in the back of my mind is also this nagging feeling of needing to try one last time before she is born to really write down some thoughts about my pregnancy with her. <br />
<br />
So here I go. This might be messy...<br />
<br />

July 17, 2011. <a href="http://beautifulordinaryday.blogspot.com/2011/07/dear-baby.html">We lost our sweet baby number three. </a>Hands-down one of the hardest things that I have ever, ever gone through. Hands-down one of the hardest things my marriage has ever gone through. Even though I was only seven and a half weeks along, I grieved that baby like it was one that I had already met and held in my arms. To say I was devastated would be an understatement.<br />
<br />
In the months that followed, I felt more depressed than I have ever felt. I am naturally a glass half-full kind of girl, an eternal optimist. But I didn't feel that hope and optimism for awhile. Just a whole lot of sadness.<br />
<br />
But in late October, we found out we were pregnant again. And as crazy as it sounds, I felt my grief and sadness immediately replaced with <i>so much joy</i>. So much joy that I know it had to have come from God. It was such a night and day, 100% turn-around in my heart.<br />
<br />
Yet even as I felt so much joy, I also felt fear.<br />
<br />
Fear that kept me from wanting to announce my pregnancy to anyone for quite awhile- usually I shout it from the rooftops the second I know.<br />
<br />
Fear that made every single doctor's appointment feel like I was walking the plank. Will we hear a heartbeat? What if they can't find it?<br />
<br />
Fear that if I wasn't careful and protective, tried to steal every ounce of joy that this pregnancy gave me. <br />

<br />
I wish I could say that I was always faithful and intentional about giving the fear to the Lord.<br />
<br />
Some days I was. And those were really, really good days. When I felt joy and hope and excitement about the new life that God was creating in me.<br />
<br />
But I am sorry to say that too many days I kept the fear tightly clenched in my fists, afraid to give it to God, afraid to let go of control and just trust. <br />
<br />
I know in my heart that He truly knows what is best. That He is a God of love, only capable of operating out of His immense love for us. And that He is good.<br />
<br />
But...<br />
<br />
I have still been so scared.<br />
<br />
I have longed for the days when I was pregnant with Audrey and Elliot and did not feel the weight of this fear. I was so naive then, never really thinking that anything bad could happen to us.<br />
<br />
But in the midst of my fears, the Lord has been so patient and loving with me. I have felt Him gently reminding me, reassuring me of His love over and over again. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail."</span> <span style="font-size: small;">LAMENTATIONS 3:22</span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have felt Him replace my fear with joy and hope over and over and over again. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And even though this journey of grief and loss and coping with fear is never one I would have chosen for myself, I am thankful for everything it has taught me. And I am so thankful that I have a God that I can put my hope in.<br />
<br />
And I am feeling so blessed and so loved by Him for the gift that Eliza is. She truly does fill my heart with so much joy! </div>

<br />
In these last days as I have prepared to meet Eliza, there are two songs that I have been playing over and over again. These two songs fill me with so much hope and so much joy as I anticipate Eliza's birth and seeing her sweet face.<br />

The Lord is my refuge and strength<br />
therefore I will not be afraid<br />
though the mountains give way<br />
and fall into the sea<br />
He will come and rescue me<br />
<br />
The Lord comes to me at break of day<br />
He reaches down to guide me in His way<br />
though the oceans roar<br />
in this dark and stormy sea<br />
<br />
<br />
He will come and rescue me<br />
<br />
Halleluyah. He is with me<br />
Halleluyah. We cannot be moved<br />
Halleluyah. He is with me<br />
Halleluyah. I rest secure.<br />
<br />
Be still and know that He is God<br />
He will be exalted over all<br />
Come and behold His strength and majesty<br />
yet he will come and rescue me<br />

Halleluyah. He is with me <br />

Love this fortune that Elliot got in a fortune cookie today. And the funny thing is, when I asked him what he thought the happy thing was, I thought he would say "baby Eliza" and he said, "I don't know...God is coming back down?"Andi Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13781123413341494058noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823098997892288486.post-9032026327899963652012-07-02T13:08:00.000-07:002012-07-04T13:10:46.148-07:00july 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

01. On a walk, hoping to get labor going. The sky was so pretty today!<br />
<br />02. At the park after my walk. A little <a href="http://shereadstruth.com/">#SheReadsTruth</a>, day 7. James 4:13-15- remembering to trust God with today and tomorrow...just what I needed to hear as I not so patiently wait for labor to start...<br />
<br />
03. Okay, seriously. When did this girl get so old? Riding a two-wheeler, missing teeth, bringing a chapter book everywhere she goes...time, please please please slow down...<br />
<br />
04. His nesting is starting to kind of stress me out. No joke, tonight he climbed up a tree in our yard + started sawing off dead branches! Love him so much + appreciate his hard work, but the timing is kind of cracking me up!Andi Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13781123413341494058noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823098997892288486.post-10944093897010914922012-03-14T21:47:00.000-07:002012-03-14T21:47:47.719-07:00over the weekend...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>I meant to post this on Monday, or at the very least, Tuesday, but time has just slipped away from me this week! </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I have always loved Valentine's Day, but this last February 14th was especially memorable and special for our little family because it was the day of my 20-week ultrasound. The day we would find out your gender.<br />
<br />
Audrey and Elliot waited expectantly at my dear friend <a href="http://the-value-of-cheerfulness.blogspot.com/">Chelle's</a> house, while Daddy and I went to the ultrasound. On the way home, we picked up some balloons to announce the news to them in a special way. I am so thankful that Chelle was able to capture on camera the moment that Audrey and Elliot heard the news. They were so excited! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A little girl. <i><br />
</i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Oh dear one, I cannot begin to tell you what a joy it was to me to find out that we are having another girl. With my other pregnancies I can honestly say I never had a gender preference. But this time, something in my heart wanted another daughter (you!) so badly. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before the ultrasound, I prepared myself to hear the news that we were having a boy. I prayed and prayed about it, asking the Lord to give me joy and to help me to be content either way. But I was so scared. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the ultrasound tech told us we were having a girl, my heart literally felt like it was going to burst. I was so surprised! I think that I will always remember that moment as being a time when I felt really, really loved by God. I feel like He truly heard my cry and gave me the desire of my heart in you. Beautiful, amazing <i>you</i>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Daddy and I have chosen to name you <i>Eliza Grace</i>. <i> </i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Eliza</i> means "pledged to God"; I love that meaning. I love it because that is my prayer for you- that as you grow up, your life would be lived for the Lord, pledged to Him. But I also love it because ever since the moment I knew you were coming, I have had to daily give you back to God, trusting Him with your life. Holding you with open hands because I know now more than ever before that my children are ultimately not my own, but His. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">We chose <i>Grace </i>as your middle name for a few reasons. Our deepest prayer is that you would come to know Jesus and His grace. We pray that you will become a woman who gives grace to others. And we feel like you and your life are such a testament of God's love and grace in our own lives; you are such a gift from Him to us, sweet girl! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am counting down the days until I get to meet you face to face and hold you in my arms. July cannot come fast enough! I love you so much, Eliza! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Love, Mama </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div>Andi Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13781123413341494058noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823098997892288486.post-22396764266425032392012-03-10T23:09:00.001-08:002012-03-11T23:15:02.783-07:00Ten on Ten :: March 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTv4Ws8DukZymow0cbzIkjZ4JCa1-T30BBff7g2z1OzPyy1DuuFiaYSeIMgC5osJlnxyD-5TfOVVd0_ItoQyDPdtMtz5UjR2ZRUVWZkxfaWxVGOp_uNUDGoYVuJTFxk7jv3dlnebv8hoj/s1600/10+on+10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTv4Ws8DukZymow0cbzIkjZ4JCa1-T30BBff7g2z1OzPyy1DuuFiaYSeIMgC5osJlnxyD-5TfOVVd0_ItoQyDPdtMtz5UjR2ZRUVWZkxfaWxVGOp_uNUDGoYVuJTFxk7jv3dlnebv8hoj/s640/10+on+10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhuGl5yV8EUDzwFamW-CWEI_eQkfjSIUR5yQcSUopziAWCpzixYkbEgjjJSTX5yQeF872vbxwFGsyLrXyuNxDPao1GzvdiJgz8qwT7DEChpZjvxNt-Wl7ajgfCazJdbpBPz8Spdfn6Ejfy/s1600/10+on+10-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhuGl5yV8EUDzwFamW-CWEI_eQkfjSIUR5yQcSUopziAWCpzixYkbEgjjJSTX5yQeF872vbxwFGsyLrXyuNxDPao1GzvdiJgz8qwT7DEChpZjvxNt-Wl7ajgfCazJdbpBPz8Spdfn6Ejfy/s640/10+on+10-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPrFUf3RP-WZ8i89YuzKlW7I7DA0XTZLUcPA2Kc_cosQMO0t-fNAq7Vq_hCA7ZUg_372LnSRxhb6gIKUE1o-GUdWuwn-M-1TAiBeAvPfaYs-clC8BERDkswgH8FuBasOLvnmYjsyNjAl-/s1600/10+on+10-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPrFUf3RP-WZ8i89YuzKlW7I7DA0XTZLUcPA2Kc_cosQMO0t-fNAq7Vq_hCA7ZUg_372LnSRxhb6gIKUE1o-GUdWuwn-M-1TAiBeAvPfaYs-clC8BERDkswgH8FuBasOLvnmYjsyNjAl-/s640/10+on+10-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigY3E5GzYbgEOsJTFKRIdZA0BTdzI1U6unrDLvZWlq6GEti1C9TvZBUnQ9J9STyOk1Mi_QJ6aB9aHc029NRFlWLYECKyXzxh9WmlYKfMQOi7v64MR9PF0JXhhTcZIYe9qhKSMj9E8V1nBi/s1600/10+on+10-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a> <br />

I came across this quote yesterday via <a href="http://www.rosinasphoto.com/">Rosina W. Photography's</a> instagram and I can't stop thinking about it. It has already been scribbled in my journal, and I am pretty sure it is also going to make it onto my fridge to keep in view as a constant reminder. I think it is one of those quotes that pretty much all of us can relate to, whatever season of life we are in. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i>"This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness." </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>-<b>Elizabeth Elliot</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Twice a week my kids are at school in the mornings- Audrey goes to a homeschool enrichment center through our local public school district and Elliot goes to preschool. They love their classes and I can't help but admit that I love the few hours to myself. Sometimes I use the time to run errands or visit with friends, but the majority of the time I use it to spend time in my Bible, sipping coffee, and journaling. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last spring we <a href="http://beautifulordinaryday.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-letting-go.html">enrolled our kids in preschool</a>. One of these days I hope to get around to blogging about why we chose preschool for that season. And why we are choosing to <i>mostly</i> homeschool again now. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But for today, I will just share that I feel like one of the number one reasons God had us put the kids in preschool is so that I could have that time with Him. I am a stay-at-home mama. I have been for over six years now. I run a small photography business on the side. I love the Lord with all my heart, but to be honest it is a daily struggle to make time to spend with Him. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For three months last spring I had two whole mornings a week with the Lord. And it completely rocked my world. I have been a Christian for a long time. I was involved with missions (mostly through YWAM), I went to Bible college, etc. etc. But I have honestly never felt as close to the God as I did during those months this last spring when I studied His Word in such an in-depth way. I used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Love-Alive-You-Inductive/dp/0736912703/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320213844&sr=8-1">this</a> study by Kay Arthur to inductively study the book of 1 John and it was seriously <i>amazing</i>. And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Lord was preparing my heart for all that<a href="http://beautifulordinaryday.blogspot.com/2011/07/dear-baby.html"> we would go through as a family this last summer</a>. My heart broke, but I have been able to trust God completely through this valley because I know Him and I know that He is good. And that knowledge came through spending time with Him and in His Word. I will always look back on last spring and those mornings as such a gift from God. I felt so completely pursued by Him. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fast-forward three months. After a long, emotionally exhausting summer, once again, God has gifted me with <i>time</i>. I know that it will not always be this way. I will not always have the luxury of two whole mornings a week, just me + God, in fact, it will most likely only be for the next month and a half. So I refuse to feel guilty about it. I am embracing it and soaking it up as much as I can. Right I am studying the book of Philippians (using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/That-May-Know-Him-Philippians/dp/0736908099/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320214263&sr=8-1">this</a> study) with a group of dear friends; we are doing the work on our own and meeting one evening a week to discuss it. I am so excited to see all that He has in store for <i>this </i>season. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so thankful for the gift of time to spend studying God's Word. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I find that every single one of my children's birthdays is so bittersweet. Bitter in that they are growing up and it is so hard for me to let those baby days go; sweet in that the older they get the more I love them and love discovering who God created them to be. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This last Saturday we celebrated Audrey. My beautiful girl. I feel blessed beyond measure to not only be her mama, but to just know her. She is an amazing little girl. So creative and bright and just lovely in every single way. And I love that every day I am still learning new things about her. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love how she has the most remarkable memory and is a wonderful storyteller. I love how obsessed she is with art and creating- it is one of the most beautiful things about her. I love how at any given time she has a million different collections- right now it is Strawberry Shortcakes, rocks, American Girl catalogs, coins from around the world, and cards + notes from family and friends. I love seeing how the Lord is working in her and heart and teaching her so much. I see Him answering so many prayers I have had for her in such amazing ways. I can't wait to see what God has in store for her and her life!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
