Baby is growing big and strong and waving hello!! Measuring 11 weeks and 6 days and due last day of July/1st day of August. We didn’t expect to see baby today, but he/she gave us quite a scare last night.

Actually it turned out to be ME causing the scare. There was/is a pocket of blood beneath baby that caused lots of bleeding and resulted in my blood pressure dropping super low & my passing out twice over the last 12 hours!  Thankfully, my church family was quick with prayers and childcare for Nick to take me to the doctor, and we are hopeful that everything will be just fine! 🙏🏻

This verse was on my mind all night and morning long:
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. ~Isaiah 26:3

**Editted to add that Caroline Creel just informed me that the baby is due on Harry Potter’s bday. 😉 🧙🏻‍♂️

Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

Reflections on Praying with Paul

    While I have yet to make it past Chapter four in Praying with Paul (grace and peace, right?), I was challenged even before I finished the preface of the book.   According to D. A. Carson, one of the major problems within the Western Church is prayerlessness.   Ok, great.   I pray daily.   Clearly this doesn’t apply to me.   T he two pitfalls within the Western Christian church are too much activity that doesn’t include prayer and praying without a basis in the scriptures .   OK, maybe I do pray daily, but are my prayers as well thought out as they should be?   Are they too simplistic?   Do I focus too much on my own wants and needs? They aren’t always based in scriptures.   I rarely sit down with the Bible and pray a passage…clearly, I have a lot to learn.       The first action I took to try to improve my prayer life was beginning to create space.   (I write the word beginning , because truthfully, I st...

Working out with kids! #MOMLIFE

Working out with kids. Sometimes it's flawless. Other days it's nutty. Today it was flat out hysterical. I PLANNED to make you all a video of the killer moves in PiYo core. Instead, I gave up on filming just after the warm up. This is more entertaining anyways!  😂 # ENJOY
