Between Us

It's obviously been a couple of months since I've posted anything on here...for those of you who actually keep up with this site, I apologize.  I promise that I will soon get back into the flow.

As promised, I officially became a Fall 2009 Graduate on December 20th.  I have officially received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in the mail a few weeks ago!  So cool!  Once would expect that I'd have been able to stay caught up on here with all the free time, but unfortnately, a special sickness has kept me away.

That's right, I am expecting again..... we are officially 13 1/2 weeks into our pregnancy and have an estimated due date of 08/29.  All seems to be going well, definitely MANY more symptoms than I had last year, and honestly, they've taken a lot out of me.  I haven't been on the computer much more than I have to be since it has some how decided to make me nauseas!  It's crazy - and I think I am too.  We were hoping to find out what we're having the end of march, but after the dr appt this past wednesday, we may not know until sometime the end of April.  

So.....Alyssa's doing great in school and is finishing up her 2nd season of basketball this weekend.  She's really getting so much better....I'm secretly hoping we can keep her going in the sport and get her a scholarship for college - oh yeah!

Will's still hanging out at Blockbuster - which is sinking.  He's also still working on pursuing the Army.  He has another recruiter that's been a quite helpful and encouraging and so while I don't yet know what to think about it all, for Will's sake, I hope things turn out the way he'd like them to. 

On a side/spiritual note - I miss all the reading I was doing, all the cool revelations I was getting and sharing on here.  I have noticed that since I stopped serving in the Children's ministry at church, I have never felt so disconnected to the people there, to God, and even my family.  School had overtaken all of my energy, time, and devotion....and has left me spriritually dry.  I'm ready to feel fullfilled again, a good strong dose of Jesus is definitely what I need. 

I tried to update the inspirations tab, but it's giving me an error.....so, for now, I'll share the verse that is on my heart today:

Proverbs 31:11-12 (Amplified Bible)

11The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of [honest] gain or need of [dishonest] spoil.

12She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.

I can't begin to tell you why this is so heavy, but I know that it's a scripture that I couldn't honestly say I've walked out much in my life lately.  I could blame the hormones (and well, they are partially to blame), but realistically and honestly, I've been lazy, tired, and sick.  So, I end this update with a prayer:

Father, Forgive me...forgive me for not prioritizing my time with You and with Will.  May today bring a new light, a new truth, and a new focus into my heart.  May my priorities fall into place as they should be and as we prepare to increase our family, Lord increase my heart and it's ability to simply walk out my call to Love!  In Jesus Name, Amen
