Today is Thanksgiving and I am just so thankful for so many things in my life. God is so gracious and loving and I am truly amazed by His goodness. I've always thought that I knew how great an wonderful He was but I now believe that when you are married you truly discover what it means to be really loved by someone. To really know Grace. to know Forgivness. I thank God for loving me and showing His Grace and mercy in my life and for putting this incredible man in my life that reminds me of that every day. I thought I knew what it was to be truly loved by God but I'm discovering it in news ways that I never thought possible. Thank you God for your loving kindness, your gentleness, your mercy. Thank you for your goodness and for you many physicals blessings that you have placed before us. Thank you God for this child in my belly--I pray Lord that you will protect him and keep him healthy. I pray he will grow up to be a man of God who loves you and worships you and seeks to honor you with his life. Thank you for friends and family to share life with and to laugh with and cry with and to grow together and challenge each other to be better. Thank you God for your Son, Jesus, who died in my place so that I could spend eternity with you. I know I'm not perfect and I screw up all the time...I ignore you, I try to do things on my own, I forget your goodness to me, I don't always see you and how you're working all around me and yet you love me. You love me just as I am and I am so thankful for that.
Today I am 22 weeks pregnant. I just cannot believe how fast the time is passing. The beginning seemed to drag on and now all of a sudden its like Wow--we are only 4 months away!! Unbelievable. Our little buddy is kicking and punching and moving around like crazy. Bryan finally felt him kick last Friday, he was so excited about it and amazed at what he felt. Sometimes I can't sleep at night-which is why I'm on the computer right now-because I just hold my hand on my stomach waiting for our little guy to punch my insides. I just love feeling him in there. Although this is fun-I am way more excited for him to be here and grow impatient for that day to come. Now if only we could figure out his name....that will come soon enough.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone....remember what we have to be thankful for and Praise God for his Love, Grace, Salvation, Goodness, and Kindness to us. Use this time to reflect on the good in your life and take time to spread His love and hope to everyone around you. There are so many who really need some hope right now and I pray that when the opportunity presents itself, I will not be too absorbed in my own life to pass it by. I love you guys and I hope you know that you all hold such a dear and precious place in my heart.

congrats on the baby! Being pregnant is such a great blessing. I always felt sorry for hubs that he didn't get to experience carrying a child. But he didn't feel so bad when I was up all night tossing and turning and getting up 15 times to go to the bathroom.
