An Update

I set out with the intent of posting weekly to this blog but didn't anticipate all that would come along with the news we got a few months ago...

We're having a baby!!!

A week after my last post, I found out we're expecting a precious little addition to our world. And almost a week exactly after that I found myself drowning in the whirlwind that is first trimester. I never intended to publicize this aspect of my life and that's really not what I'll be doing. However, I have really felt the Lord drawing me closer to Him through each day of this pregnancy experience. And what an experience it has already been. It is my hope that I will be able to continue with this blog and to share the things that God has been speaking to me about. Becoming pregnant has been a time for me that has truly been marked by God's grace and I look forward to sharing more about that. There are a few other things I've had on my heart over the last two months but I just haven't had the physical strength to pull myself together long enough to share. But lately there have been days like today when I don't feel like dying and feel what I vaguely remember knowing to be "hunger" and it will be these days that I will embrace and use as an opportunity to collect my thoughts and share them with you.

In the mean time, a big thanks to those who have prayed, congratulated, texted or brought crackers and lemonade (my new love language)... it takes a village and we're so blessed to have you as a part of ours.
