A New Life

Julie and I are having a baby! Our lives already feel like they are completely different. We wanted to wait until Christmas to tell everyone but Julie has been feeling really sick. Hopefully, this doesn't last too long.


We pray that God will take care of this child slowly forming in the womb. Our child is already "fearfully and wonderfully made." We stand in awe of God's intricate design and the overwhelming sense of blessing that we already feel.


Right now our baby is about the size of a raisin (7 weeks), so we have named the baby Ray Zenz. God's hand is at work already in this little life: the baby already has little buds for arms and legs, the heart has begun to beat, and "raisin" is already swimming around inside the amniotic sac.


"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and stars, which you have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him...? (Psalm 8:3, 4a)"

We truly are humbled at this wonderful blessing God has entrusted to us.
