Scripture

All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:18,19

Happy Fathers Day


Happy Fathers Day!!

I would love to introduce you to one of the newest Dads in training- Eric Ranck!

We are celebrating Fathers Day with gratitude for our own fathers, who we love and respect so dearly, as well as the gift of fatherhood that Eric is stepping into in December!

We found out about this pregnancy on Easter weekend and baby’s current due date is December 25! Therefore, this Christmas season will be extra special for us. We will be gratefully rejoicing in the birth of our Savior and the birth of our baby!

I am now in my 12th week.  The last 2 months have been challenging with all day sickness and I am slowly coming out of it and I do look forward to some reprieve.

If you have been a part of our journey for the last several months, you will know that I had two pregnancies that both ended in miscarriage. After some consultation with a doctor and some added supplements, this pregnancy has been the strongest. Eric and I have been for three appointments with this pregnancy and we have been able to see the baby moving (a true wiggle worm), to see and hear the heartbeat and we have gotten good reports back on my blood work and health of the baby.

This baby is a miracle. It is not because of the works of our own hands or the hands of the doctor. The master Creator who is our loving Father has given this baby vitality and strength up to this moment. Each day, He continues to mold and craft this baby into His image. Eric and I are so grateful for this gift that we get to welcome into our family and we pray each day for this little life. 

Throughout this short journey of praying for a healthy and viable pregnancy and experiencing 2 losses, I have heard countless stories of different families fertility journeys. It is certainly not an easy and short path for so many. Because of the HOPE that we have in an eternally good God, we continue to trust His plan for building our family as we continue to pray for those families asking God for the very same thing.

Thank you for continuing to walk with us, support and love us. We are very grateful!

Lots of love,
Lauren and Eric
