2/27 Processing triplets.

2/27 Processing the triplets. 
Throughout these months, when I stop and take time to process the fact that we're having triplets, I find myself with feelings of dread, being overwhelmed, depressed, and anxious. Again, I come back to God's sovereignty and His best for us. And again, I question, 'Why on earth would He have chosen to give us three at once?' One is sweet. Two are cute. Three are a preschool, a daycare center, etc. But, for whatever reason, God believes it's best for Zachary, and for the other three, that this is their family, their siblings, and their birth order. They will need each other, rely on each other, defend each other, love and fight with each other, and ultimately—I pray—be the best of friends to each other. All Dave and I can do is do our very best of parenting to them—to love them, nurture them, listen to them, provide for them, pray for them, and guide them. God, will you please give us the emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental resources to do this?? And will you please walk so closely with us—that we feel your presence and help?
