Whoa Baby........... a lot can happen in six months. The biggest news is the expectancy of our first child. I could not believe how fast it has gone already. We find out the sex of our baby is just 20 days. It has been such a roller coaster ride of emotions. I have always wanted to be a mommy, and have always loved babies. I am so excited to finally have a child myself. Although pregnancy is not what I had always thought it would be. From the everyday, all day morning sickness, to the mood swings, and swollen feet. It is not quite the walk in a park I had thought it was. But hearing the little heart beat is so sweet. And I know it'll be well worth it, when I get to meet my baby face to face.

What has God been up too........ well he has been quite busy in my life. It always seems that in the times of chaos and business he is there and working more than I know it. I am still a little fuzzy on the direction of my life to go. But knowing that he is in control gives me such peace. To know that I don't have to wait to see what my ministry is, but just to look around me and see that people that he puts in my life to minister to, is so amazing. It amazes me even more when I think I am going to be the doing the ministering and he uses that person to minster to me. I cannot even being to explain how faithful God has been. He is walked me through some very scary moments in my fears of this pregnancy to giving me peace on the preparations he is doing on making me a mommy. As much as this baby is growing inside of me, God is doing lots of growing on me too.

Jacob..... the love of my life. It is five years this year. I cannot believe that in less than a month we have been married for five years. It has been the best ride of my life. I know God truly matched us together. I was telling him the other night, I am so happy that we met at such a young age because we have such a history together. It would make me so sad if we didn't meet until now. But God knew. I am so proud of the man that he is. He has such a servants heart. He took a couple of classes at a bible school, and has really began to stir up some new passions in his heart. I know that he dreams big, and serves an even bigger God who can make those dreams come true. I am so excited to share this crazy adventure of my life with him.

Me....... I am so just rested in the Lord. I am excited and a little scared of the next chapter of our lives. We have a baby on the way. Are going to start hosting a small group. And have had some major changes go on at work. Money is always a factor, in that there never seems to be enough. But I know that I don't have to go through any of this alone. I have such a wonderful husband, family and church family, but most importantly I know that God will be there with me. In all of this I have such a peace.

I guess we will just see what the next six months hold for us. Hopefully I will get better at keeping up with the blog too. :)
