Test To Remember- October 19

Over my years in public school and then in college, I have taken THOUSANDS of tests.However, not one even compares to the "No Thinking Required" test I took yesterday.I did not think; I just filled up a little cup; took it the nurse; and my life will forever be changed.
I AM excited! And overwhelmed and sometimes worried, but as I remember, God has been, IS, and will be faithful...I am not alone and HE will take care of us. This IS an AMAZING opportunity to be able to participate in the CREATION process with MY Creator.
Even with a NON-obtrusive doctor's visit, I managed to faint TWICE! Even in my OBVIOUS weaknesses, God is STRONG. I realize now more than EVER that it is His strength, and not my own, which will last! It will be an EXCITING journey into motherhood for me, as I walk alongside Dad-to-be, and as we share this joy with our families!

What A Week- October 14

Within ONE WEEK, more than I could have imagined has made its way into my little reality. After my first ever speaking opportunity, my yearly evaluation, and some time near a trash can, it has definitely been eventful. Now, that time of "afternoon sickness," may mean a little more than I ever imagined...oh but the unknown alone leaves me a little queasy....or is that more morning sickness on this Friday afternoon????

All I can say is "We shall see..." In the next few days, I MAY have a more clear idea if this means I am making my way into motherhood, or not. Though with my history of fainting and being a wimp in most realms, I am to say the least overwhelmed at the thought.

Well, feel free to commment, but at this point I consider this a personal journal and am hoping no one finds this little spot in blog world.

Blessings!

Life Can Be Rough- October 11

Only when I thought that locking my keys in my car, THREE HOURS from home was the WORST thing that could happen EVER, I am proven wrong. After making it through a Monday at school, and THEN throwing up over a trash can in my room, I realized that things can always get worse...yet, they will eventually get BETTER. And even still, I am thankful for my husband who gave me sprite and crackers and a warm wash cloth, and for a warm bed to sleep away the aches and pains, and at least for now, I am thankful, I haven't had to find anymore trashcans.

I wanted to record these events which I deemed the end of the world, though I realize they are NOT...that even in my high drama, down and out moments, I am richly blessed!
