couple more pictures

not sure if it's much different from last pictures i posted, but i'm pretty sure caleb is growing and making me grow! our niece, who lives in England, was just born last night. i only got to see pictures but, WOW, it makes it more real that we'll be getting to meet Caleb very soon, and makes me SO much more excited!!! i've been reading so much and thinking about taking care of him that it just feels good to stop and think about HIM!! i can't even imagine how amazing it'll be! i get all teary just looking at my niece...and she's not even our own baby! this is quite the amazing journey!

a song and prayer...on my heart once again

Jesus, all for Jesus,

All I am and have and ever hope to be.

All of my ambitions hopes and plans,

I surrender these into your hands.

For it's only in your will that I am free!

.................

i want to walk forward like Abraham walked up the mountain, in the face of what seemed crazy and impossible, in fear and obedience to God, saying (i think with confidence), "Yahweh will provide." Then, after He did, Abraham named the place, "Yahweh will provide" and God blessed Him.

God is reminding me that He is the same God today that walked with Abraham. He walks with me- with us. His ways don't always make sense, but I trust Him...and I want my trust and fear of Him to grow as strong as Abraham's, so that in the face of whatever He says, does, or doesn't do, I can follow.

(one more song)

this is the air i breath,

your holy presence living in me.

this is my daily bread,

your very Word spoken to me.

I'm desperate for You.

I'm lost without You.

3rd Trimester Already!!!

Yes, everyone, even the Dr. tells me that I'm small for being so far along. I just figure that I'm tall and Caleb is making use of the length in my waist that has never worked for one piece swim suits! :) AND he's my first, so as I've read, I'm not all "stretched out" yet.

I'll try to get another picture wearing black or something this week. White doesn't seem to show as much. HA...I just realized that this front view probably doesn't show at all, but to me it does since I know how I feel and look. :) sorry, just wanted to get SOMETHING posted for far away people before too long.

Things are going pretty well. Everyone has been telling me summer will be torturous, which I wasn't too worried about til it hit over 90 during work the other day. I think it's true, I'm gonna need some prayer to make it through, at least when I have to be in the heat. And no sitting in the sun for me :(....the shade will have to do for now. Still, I'd rather have this than rain.

We finally finished registering, which is a HUGE relief for me. I truly think that having a baby 20 years ago must have been ten times easier since there weren't so many things to research and figure out what is actually needed and what's just marketing, what's good quality that will last and what just looks cute, etc. Now I've been able to spend more time reading about baby care, which I find more enjoyable!

More later....time for work!
