God has greatly blessed our family this past year.  He has provided our every need and much more.  I am so thankful to have a relationship with Him, and to see our children grow in maturity with their walk with the Lord.

2016 will be a year we will rely on Him with every aspect of our lives.  To learn to truly give everything over to Him.  To watch Him perform great works and to provide us with patience, love, and comfort for the things out of our control.

2016 will be a year of Silas.  I am very anxious to meet our little guy.  I can tell he is growing so strong as his movements are getting more pronounced and take me by surprise at times.  It is still a roller coaster of emotions.  One minute I could be totally fine.  Then one of my children will do or say something that makes me think “Will Silas be able to do that?  Will he be here to enjoy…?”  The tears then start.  I am then reminded that we are not alone.  He will walk through this with us.

Next week will be a very crucial time as we will finally be meeting with specialists at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia.  I will  undergo a day of testing and meetings with specialists.  That day will give us a direction as to how bad or good his condition is, and where we may be living during his birth and treatment.  We pray for guidance on all the decisions we will be faced with; to make decisions based on prayer and not out of fear.
