Our Big News

Hello, friends!

Well, our little guy, Nolan Landis, joined us last Thursday, May 19th at 7:01 p.m. What a joy he is! We are so blessed! He weighed in at 7 lb. 5 oz. and was 19.5 inches long, and I think he's just the cutest little guy. He is really a good baby - our challenge right now is that he has his days and nights all mixed up. But, this too shall pass.

Thank you all for being so patient and understanding while I take a little break from writing. I hope to get back to it very soon - I miss it more than I ever imagined. In the mean-time, I will send on anything God gives me that just can't wait.

Take care, and be blessed! Talk to you all soon!

Passionately Pursuing God,
Andrea


Isaiah 66:13
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.

This passage is especially vivid to me right now, having a new baby around. At all hours of the night our new little guy lets us know when he needs something. And yet, even in my sleep-deprived, hazy 2 a.m. stupor, I still can’t help but love on him and snuggle him and hold him just a few extra minutes. At one week old, he has completely captured my heart.

To think that God is the same way - endless in His love and comfort, always available, endlessly giving us all that He has - gives me such great comfort and joy. He is so much bigger than I am, and He is tireless - if my flawed, human comfort can be so full and tireless, imagine how much greater God’s is for us.

I am awed and amazed at the comfort and love God showers upon me daily - in great and small things, even at 2 a.m. when I have a baby that won’t go to sleep. He is so good to us, filling us with all that we need, and comforting us in His limitless, unending, perfect love.
