Before Baby Vue A lot of new friends here from our recent post, so we wanted to share a bit about our journey. I didn't always get along with my family. My parents were young when they had me And I'm the oldest of 5. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, II TIMOTHY 2:15 But Jesus found me. I follow Him. He saved me at age 20 and I chased Him passionately all the way to Bible college where I met my husband. We dated for 6.5 months before he proposed. But were engaged for almost 2 years (mainly so I could study abroad in Greece and Rome). We never got a "dream wedding" My husband and I got married in 2020 during Covid - so we cancelled our big wedding and had an intimate one instead. My husband is in youth ministry And we both teach the Bible I always struggled with having a desire to have kids and even be married. So naturally, I.... got a Master's degree in Systematic Theology... and am still working on a second master's currently. I also started a business (social media, video editing, AI, and consulting) Last October the Lord told us to start a family. I was angry because it wasn't in my plans But God changed my heart And now we're having our first baby in October in our 30s. God has done much in our lives. So we're excited to share more of His goodness in the trials and in the joy. Follow our journey as we figure out parenthood Taking any parenting tips.

Original caption

Many of you joined us after our last video, so we wanted to share a quick recap of our journey. We got married in 2020, even with a canceled wedding, and spent the next six years focusing on everything but starting a family. Now, we're just weeks away from welcoming our little one! We'd love to hear from you: What’s one piece of advice you wish someone had given you before your first child? ****slide 4 is supposed to say: I experienced pain and sin in my youth through broken relationships and bad decisions. #PregnancyJourney #FamilyLife #BabyOnTheWay #Marriage
