The pregnancy seemed normal except for the fact that I had morning sickness all day long. It was amazing for me to think that God was knitting my baby together in my womb as Psalm 139 indicates. Perfectly. Then we had “the test.” You know the one where they take blood and check to see…
Posted by Sarah Anderson Last week, my oldest child started kindergarten. I’ve never had my whole life flash before my eyes, but that morning, when we pulled up to the school for the first time, his whole life flashed before my eyes.
