When life gives you lemons....

...trust that God is in control and enjoy some lemonade..

We are almost done with January! Can you believe how fast the year is already going? By the end of this month I will be starting my 6th month in my pregnancy. Sam and I are so excited about the life that God has so graciously given us, and cannot wait until she gets here.
Sam and I have opted to do a homebirth, and it is something we are very much looking forward to. After much research and prayer (and talking with our midwife ^_^) we have been given much peace about having our first baby in our home...bar there are no issues and I am not a high risk.
We are praying and leaving it in God's hands.

The car we bought turned out to be a lemon. The mechanic told us that it is not worth fixing, so we were pretty disgruntled at the beginning of the week. Thankfully our God is in control and has provided us an even better car....just minor, inexpensive things need to be fixed.  It is a manual...and it has been YEARS since I have driven one, so it will be fun to get the hang of it again :).  Once I get comfortable with it I will be teaching Sam how to drive it :)

I am getting involved with the local FRG here in our company...and I am excited about getting involved. I look forward to having responsibility and being apart of something that helps people.

I am settling in quite well, and am really starting to be content here.  It has helped a lot just getting OUR stuff in and being able to sleep in OUR own bed.

It has been a month of UPS and downs, but God has definitely made the UPS amazing and has really shown His hand in the downs.

So although we have had a few lemons this month, God has definitely been in control and we have enjoy the blessings of His mercy.

Once we get the car we should be able to visit a local church here....I look forward to it. I really miss church.

Keep us in your prayers as you think of us,
Sam, Amber, and (soon coming) Sarah Rose
