I think it may be an extreme understatement to say that life is going to change today. For many years my wife and I have been anticipating a child. God has now blessed us now with a son. Today we will make the trek to the hospital and Isaac will be delivered via c section. We covet your prayers that everything goes well. This week has been a blur for me, so much I needed to accomplish, yet my mind was not quite on anything.
Stress has also become a more prevalent feature this week. I have not always dealt with it well, but am doing my best. I am humbled by the notion that in just a few hours I will be holding my baby boy. I will be holding a blank slate. A life that God has given to Olsa and I to mold and make. To love and care for, to prepare for life. Now that is scary!
I fully aware of the many people in our life that will love him too. People that will walk with us along this path and support us in the process. I know this will be an adventure, and I can't wait to get started. If you follow me on twitter (@joshuawhitson) check regularly for updates starting around noon, and I will also post to Facebook with pics and messages. Again pray for us.
At this moment more than any, the words of Robert (one of our leaders at CP) come to mind. "When a baby is born, it is a sign that God has not given up on us yet." Today this will happen many times here in Nashville, and so God is continually renewing his creation. But this one is a little more special...at least to me!
