A Lightbulb

I've been thinking more and more about my time in Africa since I found out I was pregnant. I think it has opened my eyes a little to how God was working while we were there.

I had a lot of doubts about why things were being put in our path. I had no idea why God would keep us out of certain areas ... or keep us from activities that we had planned to do ... or not allow us to do anything risky. We were all prepared to face a little risk, but it seemed like God shut all the doors to anything like that.

And we didn't know why.

Now that I know I was pregnant the whole time, I feel a little at peace. God was protecting something I didn't even know needed protecting. How awesome of a God is that? I'm glad He knew.

So ... why mToto??? Because it means "baby/child" in Swahili ... and our baby is already a world traveler, yet still under the careful protection of God. I can only believe that God will have a special eye on mToto for the rest of his or her life.
