Major Life Changes

It's been a long while since I've posted, but with good reason. We've been building something else these past several months with great difficulty. The Building Brows is now a family of nine.

Our little girl was born two weeks ago by C-section. I'm recovering well, but we haven't yet welcomed baby JR into our home because she's in the hospital with serious complications and is looking at heart surgery, probably sooner than later. If you pray, please pray for our little girl. If you'd like to learn more, please check out my Brandy Brow twitter page (updated far more often than our Building Brows twitter page.

In the meantime, while Jim and I have been at the hospital with JR, Jim's worker has been working on the house. I came home last week to find the outside papered. Shocked me! Jim's ordered vinyl siding and we're ever grateful for the excellent deal a local company gave us on the order. We're not sure where all the money will come from, but Jim's guy needed a paycheck so that was the way to give it to him.

I don't know what the days or weeks ahead will bring, but I am confident God is in control.

I hope you'll take some time today to stop and count your blessings. The next time your kids run up and down the hall, about to drive you over the edge, thank God they have stamina and breath to run and that you can hug and hold them. So many moms and dads right now in neonatal intensive care nurseries everywhere don't have that luxury. Some can't even hold their babies because their health is too fragile. We all have great things to be thankful for; let's hope we can see and be thankful for them while we can.
