This Christmas was a bit difficult to say the least. With being pregnant and all the "morning" sickness and all the emotional stuff of thinking of Audrey, Marilyn and my miscarriage. Then the boys getting sick Christmas weekend. I pretty much lived on the couch with them.
This year, I am determined to do better in a lot of areas. First being my Bible reading. I really had to dig deep these past few weeks and examine myself. I have to be honest with myself and with God. I just have let my relationship with Him go by the way side. I am not proud of it, I do not like it. I still very much love God and want to be close to Him. But I let everything that was going on in my life get in the way.
I started the year reading the book of John. I am glad God had me go there first this year. I read through all of Jesus' miracles. It encouraged me and helped me so much. I know God can and will do miracles in my life if I let Him. They may not be my idea of what I think I deserve or want, but there is the problem. Why do we think we deserve miracles? Why do we think we should get what we want? Goodness me! I think it is time I stop thinking of me, myself and I.
I am privileged to be carrying a precious little one, a soul, a person inside of me. This is a miracle in itself. :)
God is good. I will have hope!
I'm glad you are blogging again. Your post are so genuine and heartfelt. Big love to the whole family!
ReplyDeleteI love you too Grandma. I hope to be doing more of it because it is a good way to let out all that goes through this brain of mine. :)
DeleteYou are having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wow Shannon. Congrads sista. Isn't it wonderful how when you have God as your savior you can't help but to write about him? Its that pure love that gets us every time. Draws us back to him like a moth to a flame or a soul to its creator. You are being blessed to have another baby to love and cherish. I envy you. I think it is so beautiful. What do you want besides fat and healthy?
ReplyDeleteWe are hoping for a baby girl since we have 2 boys already. But I love my boys so much and will be super happy about whatever God has chosen for us. :) We will find out Feb 15 as long as baby cooperates.
DeleteI hear that a baby girl is worlds a part from baby boys so I will pray that you get your prayer for a girl answered. Every mama should have a baby girl to dress up. But little boys are quiet as special in a totally different blessed way. So either way you win *grinz*
