God is so, so good to me.
Posted by RazorsKissMar 14
I found out early last week that… my wife is pregnant!
No, we don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl. She’s like… 3-4 weeks along. So, no idea.
So, needless to say, lover of children that I am… I’m ecstatic. Beyond, actually. I really don’t have much to say, really, other than that we’re very excited.
To top it off, the day *before* that, my ex-wife (that I haven’t heard from in years – literally) contacts me, out of the blue, after searching for me on the internet (finally) – to tell me about our daughter – who I also haven’t seen or heard from in years. She’s now seven. She’s adorable! I got a picture of her last night, and she’s absolutely precious.
No details yet, on when I get to see her – but, I will get to keep my youngest all this summer. All I can say is that God is really, really good to this former prodigal son.

As you may know, the very first post of yours I ever read was about your daughter. (and I saw the pic – she is beautiful!!) I still get tears in my eyes remembering that post. I am so, so, so happy that you have reestablished contact. And of course I’m tremendously excited about your newest blessing!! Congratulations Dude!!

Congrats (on both the pregnacy and the reconnection) and blessing to you and all involved.
Thanks for the great work you do on an off line.
Stay strong, be couragous, and serve God in all things.

Congratulations!!!! I hopped over straightaway from Bethany’s blog. I remember that post from a while back too. It is awesome to see how God has planned things for you. “Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning”. It’s a privilege to be able to share in the big events of your life Joshua – I am very pleased for you both. Woohooo!!

Amen. God is so good. Glad to hear you have another child on the way. Please give my best wishes to Bethany. My prayers are with all three of you. Peace.
