My Life...

I love it, really I do. But I never thought in a million years that I would be sitting at my computer at home at 11:14am on a Tuesday writing in a blog (or doing anything else from home at this time of day!) God changed my heart and gave me the desire to stay home and take care of the little girl that he has entrusted to Jonathan and I. How truly blessed I am to be able to be here to even just watch her nap.

For as long as I can remember, my mom has prayed Psalm 37:4 for my life (Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.) When I was growing up, I thought "YES, keep praying that Mom! I will get everything I want!" Of course that is not really what that verse means and over the last 5-7 years, God has helped me see that. It means that if I am in communion with Him and truly seeking His will, He will change my heart so that I might fulfill His will. What an amazing God we serve!!! I cannot do any good on my own. It is only through His Grace that that He makes robes of my rags, melts crowns from my calves and makes good from all my wrongs (paraphrases from Caedmon's Call - 40 acres CD). Amazing, truly amazing!

If you've read Emma's blog lately, you know that she rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time yesterday! Our little girl is mobile! She also FINALLY remembered how to turn from her tummy to her back. I can't believe that next week she will officially be 6 months old!! We also started her on cereal this Sunday. She seems to be doing better with it than she was 6 or so weeks ago when we tried to start it. We even went to Target and got her a highchair!


She hasn't wanted to nap today...we are having friends over for dinner...I'm a little concerned she will be a bear if she doesn't get a good nap this morning... Speaking of friends coming for dinner, I better wrap this up and get a few things done before they get here!
