What a day! So here is the story.
I really didn't think that today would be THE DAY, but the Lord knew, and looking back He
was taking care of me. I was in the basement working out, which NEVER happens in the
morning, and after wards I went to take a shower. I am pretty much deaf and decided to
take the phone into the bathroom with me, "Just in case." I really thought that it was silly.
Well, right when I had shampoo in my hair the phone rang and I took my time to answer
it. But my silly 3 year old got to it first, so I couldn't see the caller id. So there I am,
dripping wet, with shampoo in my hair answering the phone.
I hear the 3 year old talking about a shower and then I hear laughing. I said, "Hello?" and
a woman said, " Hi Amy, this is Terra with your referral call." And I screamed, " I am naked. I
mean, I am in the shower and naked." I think that she thought I was drinking or
something. I wasn't. So we got all of the info . ..
HE IS AMAZING!!! Sweet, soft curls and big, brown eyes. Around 18 months old.
Here is the cool thing about the shower part. (Just don't think of me naked) Almost eight years ago, I was pretty sick when we had our first son, Sam, and my Ob called, I was in the shower, to tell me to go to the hospital to be induced at 32 weeks. Pretty scary. The other thing. Our six month old, Georgia, was in the shower with me when she died on Easter morning 2004. It was a nightmare.
How good is our God that he would give us our new son while I was in the shower?
Our friend, Corin, wrote a song and sang it at Georgia's memorial service. One
of the lines is, "Believe, that joy will come from sorrow." That is what the Lord does for us
every day. I am so humbled.

Amy! This is so awesome! It's so great to hear too!
Can't wait to meet the little guy!
And Corin's song is one of my favorites to this day. Especially love that line.
Hope your family is doing awesome!
I'm so excited!!!!!!! I can't wait to meet him!!!!
I'm amazed at the shower thing, it makes me want to cry because only God knows how to touch us like that! How does he know us so personally? Sometimes (probably wrongly) I think they are like kisses from God for your faithfulness to Him.
After I talked to you yesterday, I told Teddy your good news and I told him how I thought it was crazy that you were in the shower for this awesome news and you were in the shower that last morning with Georgia. I am glad you connected that, too, cause I think it's pretty awesome. God is a great redeemer! Love you and can't wait to see a pic of the little guy!
Amy - I LOVE that God is so in the details! What a precious story of your referral call. We are so thrilled that God has blessed your family with this sweet little guy! We can't wait to meet him! Blessings - Sherry Semlow

Amy and Will,
I am SOOOOOOO happy for you. I will pray for God's timing to be accomplished as you proceed through the next phase, and that very, very soon you will hold you little one in your arms.
I am smiling from ear to ear right now!!!
