Built FORD Tough

I dont think i remember ever being happier/more fufilled in my life.  Not even as a child when i had no responsibility! (Boy, those were the days). Jeff and I are really enjoying my pregnancy and are (slowly) trying to get things done.

We have picked a name but are trying desperately to bribe some nursery furniture out of our parents in exchange for their grandaughters name! HA! Seriously, though… we’re in negotiations!

I’m finding that i get tired after a weeks work! My patients and the gals i work w/ are all so great, so i enjoy work, but my body just wears down by the end of the week. Fridays are usually my productive day but the last few have been spent doing very little.

I’m enjoying a new beth moore book (the study of John) and am really praying for the Lord to help me be completley dependent on him. This baby deserves parents who are sold out for the Lord and set a good example for her… not only in words, but in actions. Will you pray for me as i lack dicipline (root word diciple… hmmm…). I am totally loving the messages from our new interim pastor, Ken Sirmons. Man, he gives us so much meat and it makes me long for more. He says things that some pastors dont. Like right now we’re talking about the beatitudes and in speaking of "blessed are those who mourn", ken spoke to how so many of us manufacture this attitude of being sorry for all that we are not when truly mourning ourselves (realizing who we are IS saddening if we are honest and dont rationalize ourselves) is a work of the Holy Spirit. I desire that work in my heart, that He would make me aware of all my sinful ways… so much so that i CHANGE.

Well, the nursery is in progress (slow progress). Hopefully the woodwork stuff will get done this week (a great friend has been doing it for us on the side but has to find time). We’ve found the furniture we want and Jeff’s brother ordered the bedding for us as a gift (ROCKIN brother-in-law i have, huh!). I’m so excited…and overwhelmed…about getting things ready for her arrival! I am taking pics as we go though, so hopefully one day they’ll get posted!

Life is good, folks. Which scares me a little… wheres the storm??? But i’m just gonna work on being grateful for now, and use this time to spend time w/ the lord so i’m better prepared for whatever may or may not come! Peace.
