Making it Impossible to Not Think About God
A pregnancy update: I am 38 weeks and a few days. I have a giant baby inside of me and I pray throughout each and every day that I would go into labor sooner than later. Yes, I know, "go 40, it's better for the baby!" But really, he is big enough, thank you very much! So since I am waiting (and waiting) I have time to make sure everything is done. You can review my original game plan to see … [Read more...]

Her ears are popping … [Read more...]
This is Part 5 of our series What to do When the Church Lets You Down. You can see all the posts here. As I sit on the bathroom toilet, door slammed shut and the lock turned, sobbing, I feel His gentle nudge and hear His tender voice. Go and ask for forgiveness.

Oh and I'm not all that great of a baker either. This certainly plays into the lack of cookies in our home. A couple of weeks ago I got an incredible craving for cookies. It was one of THOSE … [Read more...]

And conviction, guidance, motivation, encouragement, and heroic … [Read more...]
A pregnancy update: My final weeks before delivery are getting shorter and shorter.

As you know, I am attacking my game plan. I have just under 3 weeks until I want to have everything ready for baby. Check out my final weeks before delivery game plan for more details on all I plan to do! The freezer cooking is what I need to tackle first. This is important because I want to spread out this process for as long as possible (I don't want to be a slave to my kitchen at 38 weeks … [Read more...]
