Big News!!!

So, we decided a couple months ago to get off birth control and yes, you guessed it... that very month got PREGNANT! We are so excited!! We feel so blessed without having any problems getting pregnant and the timing is prefect, my due date is the week after we get out of school! No 6 weeks with a baby.... a WHOLE Summer :) Thank you Lord!

Yesterday was a big day, we had one ultrasound at 5 weeks... and then another one yesterday. I have never heard a sweeter sound than this baby's heartbeat! The baby had a strong heartbeat and looked wonderful, so my doctor said, it looked like a peanut to me. Stephen and I both just cried and cried as we listened.

I am excited about our growing family. I have the most, caring, loving husband. He is so unbelievably good to me, I don't deserve him, but glad God gave him to me anyways. Mili, is the most precious little girl, she is growing up so fast and I am looking forward to watching her be a wonderful big sister. Although, she is desperately wanting a girl because, "boys are annoying... they get on my last nerve," she told us last week. haha. And I am already so in love with this baby, I can't hardly stand it.

God is so good, so good to me.

Worship is a lifestyle

Our pastor at church has being doing a series called "Wired for Worship". It's been fantastic, convicting, but wonderful. Worship is not just corporate. It's not just songs, preaching, or praying. It's personal. It's living my life for the Lord. Often times christians chose to live lukewarm, casual, comfortable. I am so guilty of this. So shallow. I refuse to give God what's left over, fit Him in whenever it's convenient for me. For all who HE IS and for ALL that HE has DONE. My day to day, should be focused on Him, and worshiping Him. He is so worthy.

One of my favorite songs... and my hearts cry...


Empty Hands held high
Such Small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you
Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name
to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

LORD, I give my life
A Living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Chorus

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Let my lifesong sing to You

Pumpkins

Last weekend we had the gang over, our friends and some of Mili's friends, to carve pumpkins! We had a great time. This year (unlike last year), the dads did most of the carving, so this mama enjoyed that! We carved two, scary face and a cat of course, because that's what sister wants to be for Halloween. Enjoy the pics!!

OH... and pics will come soon of my newly decorated front porch. This weekend I decorated SO CUTE to bring in Fall!! I just love it.
