with two hours to myself in a public place the same question comes at me over and over again so here it is…
Yes, I am having my FOURTH baby in January and actually it is one thing in this world I am absolutely certain of! 
and no, we’re not totally CRAZY but totally in love with the miracle and value of the little lives God has blessed us with. 
You’re right, my HANDS ARE SO FULL…of love and blessing and life, hope, mercy, faith and potential. 
Yes, it can be HARD, I’m sure I don’t know the half of it yet, but aren’t all wonderful things? 
Truly, I get to closely WITNESS God AT WORK in 4 little lives and participate in seeing them meet their God-given potential. 
No, I’m not totally irresponsible because I can’t GIVE THEM EVERYTHING, because they have everything and we will define our everything, our richness, by God and family and relationships. 
And WHAT ABOUT ME? My potential, my dreams, my career, my pursuits…? You’re right….so right…what about me? this questions perhaps brings more tears to my eyes than you realize because I can’t explain what you don’t know….
Yes that was a mouthful in response to a simple question, but one I am asked so often, I suppose I could have just said…
“It is obvious you have yet to meet my children!”
