So, where to begin. Not sure if I've been here on this blog or not, but I'm going to be an AUNTIE T again :) Amanda goes tomorrow for her first appointment, I am very excited for her. Praying that the baby will be strong and healthy and know how much he/she is loved before they even arrive!
My oldest nephew turns 4 on the 10th of September. Seems like yesterday we were in the hospital waiting on him.
My baby would have been 5 on the 2nd (if it had come on schedule)... scary, sad, etc. Not dwelling, just a fact.
God has been working on me on a couple different things lately. First off, in repenting of sins when they happen, and refrain from continuing to do it. One thing that has really hit me this week is... "If you have to ask yourself if what you are fixing to say is gossip... IT IS!" I have a bad habit of discussing other people (it is usually good so don't get offensive!) to other people (not the same people). A lot to do with my totally boring life and everyone else has great things going on! Or telling a close friend a story about someone just to end up with "so we should pray for him/her". God is working on my heart that this is not acceptable and I shouldn't be doing it. If someone needs prayer, and I think I need help with that prayer, the other person doesn't need the background story. *Please note: This is still a work in progress, but He has been good about stopping me, mid sentence sometimes, and convicting my heart. Please don't stop God!!
Secondly, the whole baby thing, yes I know everyone is probably tired of hearing it, I'm tired of thinking about it. But I have made a vow to God (and will have to follow through with that as soon as I finish typing this) that I will give the pain, frustration, depression, questions, and thoughts to Him whenever it comes into my mind. I don't need to fret over it, it cannot help any anyways.
I hope everyone has a great rest of your week and remember, you don't have to be perfect if you are forgiven!
