Enjoy

Last week we had a lovely week at the Betteld. Nathanaël's uncle and aunt have a mobile home there that we could stay in for a week. It was great to get away from it all. Just getting out of our house and into nature. We really needed each other and rest, and we really enjoyed it. Reading, chatting, making music and enjoying ourselves. Now we are home again and that is nice.
Normally we go on holiday to get rid of all work, ministry and the past year and recharge for a new year. Now we found that we couldn't really distance ourselves from everything we are in the middle of. The process with ukkie continues, even on holiday.

Ukkie is nice and busy in the tummy and we both enjoy that. Every evening we sing a song to him and play a music from a music box. When he is in hospital after birth, we and the nurses can play that same music and he will (if all goes well) recognise it.
Otherwise, I feel physically well. Of course, there are the well-known pregnancy ailments, but I realise all too well that little one is still safe in my belly right now and is not suffering from anything, we can all three enjoy this to the full!

We are immensely grateful. Grateful for the fact that we are expecting our second miracle at all. Grateful for the good support in Nijmegen. Grateful for our families, friends and acquaintances. Grateful that God is so near. Grateful that we are having such a good time together. Grateful that our little one has been safely in my belly for 26 weeks. Grateful for Life!

Hi Nathaniel and Marieke,

Good to read that you had a good week together. That is also very important!
It's still very special having a baby in your belly and how it moves:-) Good luck with everything!
Greetings,
Richard and Françoise

Dear Nathanael and Marieke, It is indeed difficult to 'leave your feelings, worries and moments of doubt at home' during this turbulent time. After all, your little one went on holiday with you. But Jesus was along too. And in the storm, it is He who speaks to the wind and the waves.... I pray that you will experience peace from His presence and peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding and reigns in your hearts and minds. I love and admire you!
