MEH...

... stands for Macy Erin Hall who was born around 1:45pm and weighs 9lbs and 8 oz!!!
What a day! It happened so fast! I got to church this morning and my brother texted me that they thought Erin's water broke. (Which is funny because it was either that or... well...) Anyway, so I stayed through worship, but I just knew I was going to have to leave during the sermon... so I left before the sermon and went to Staples to get some things for my classroom. While there, Jared texted and said, "C-Section in 30 minutes."
I busted a move on over to the hospital and go there about 7 minutes before they gave Erin the epidural. It was so fun!! About an hour later, Macy was here!! She is adorable and HUGE! She's tall and has big feet and hands! WNBA, here we come! I just love her!
I am not even worried that I still have a few things to get done before the kids come tomorrow... today was so great!
What a way to end the summer!!!
So, I was thinking in church this morning... I am a hugger. I know this is random, but go with me on this.... I love to hug people. I think it shows my feelings more than a smile, facial expression, or words. I hug for all kinds of occasions: excitement, grief, pain, joy, embarrassment... and so forth.
I have this thing that whenever I am praying, I imagine that I am hugging Jesus. Sometimes I run to him in joy, sometimes I am on the ground in tears and he picks me up... whatever the case, I get the universe's greatest hug. Today was a skipping toward him hug of praise for my niece.... I just can't wait to get the real thing one day. I mean really, it's something I ache for!
Isn't God great!??!! I mean, wow!
Tomorrow, my little cousin Rebecca will be having surgery on her Pancreas. Jesus is down on his knees with me as I pray for her health, her doctors, and her family. She needs this surgery to go well. She needs to be a little 8 year old girl who can run, play, EAT FOOD, be PAIN FREE, and HEALTHY. I pray that God heals her and she can be that 8 year old little girl. Please pray that she gets better.
God is always good and His will is always perfect. I have peace in the fact that He never leaves us and will finally be back one day.
