Making way for Our Little Miracle!

I've been thinking about what I would say when I finally sat down to write the story of the most life changing event that has ever happen to me and the love of my life. When it's the most important thing that's ever happened, there are so many things you could say or should say, so I'll narrow it down to just a few...

2011, my love and I were wed. The moment we said "I do," we were launched into a journey of faith and leaning into our Heavenly Father, coming to know His endless love like never before. We had hopes, dreams and plans  I can clearly see that He had planted in our hearts so He could work those things out for His ultimate glory. Part of that journey included us saying farewell to the way things normally are handled financially so He could lead us into full time missions, where my husband has committed to until 2015. In that process, about a year and a half ago, The Lord asked us to put something so precious and delicate into His hands, because He revealed that His timing is absolutely perfect and that He would fully bless something that we completely surrendered to Him. With perfect peace and trust in The Lord that could only come from Him, we put our "control" of when we would "start a family" in his hands.

As you know from my summer of waiting on a teaching position, He is so faithful and gives us the very best gifts in the very best timing. You can imagine the utter joy and surprise and absolute awe in my Heavenly Father when the day after being offered a position as a teacher Jonathan and I discovered that we had just been given the most amazing gift a person can physically receive in their live, fulfilling a life long dream both of us have had. 

The gift of new life.

Inside my womb, my loving and creative Heavenly Father is knitting together the most precious bundle of life, who will be apart of our lives forever.

It has been incredible to embark on this journey of pregnancy to prepare for motherhood, and see my husband begin already to fulfill his role of father as he daily blesses and prays for the child growing inside of me.

Today we are just over one quarter of the way through this precious stage of our child's life, and we are so excited to announce that in April 2014 a new little Freeman will join us on the wonder-filled journey we stepped into 2 years ago.

We are overjoyed, and know we are absolutely blessed.

Much love to you all and much appreciation for all of your coveted prayers.
