Hi Rachel,

Hey, it's so good to hear from you! And CONGRATULATIONS!! on little Cora. Your post was such a joy to read, especially in light of the turmoil you were in in the beginning of your pregnancy with her. I'm sure things are still hectic but it really sounds like God has been merciful in many ways in your life.

I know the relief and tenderness you must feel for little Cora's peaceful temperament. Our fourth child, Clara, was unplanned and I did my share of 'angst' about having another baby (my first three were colicky for the first few months) but when she was born I couldn't believe the contented and peaceful temperament she'd been graced with. She is now four and has remained that same joyful person so here's hoping Miss Cora will, too.

I'm really happy for you, and to see the wise outlook you have about your husband. What great news that he is beginning to come around; I will be praying for him now that you've mentioned it, and I sincerely hope he's able to make it 'to the other side' and be able to be reunited with his family. I think you're being very smart in giving him some time to work it out. You sound like a great wife and mom, and I can see why he'd want you and his children back.

Well I hope you'll keep checking in periodically with updates. My very good friends are moving to MN in just a couple of weeks, to a city right next to the University where her husband just took a job offer as a teacher. If you're anywhere near there and want some awesome friends, let me know. My friend and her kids would love a new friend when they get there.

Thanks for taking the time to share your excellent news, Rachel. God's mercy,kindness and eternal truth are much greater than any circumstances and you know, being reminded of that in reading your post was very timely and encouraging for me right now.

With Love and Kindness,

Heather
