10 Weeks Tomorrow

I will be 10 weeks tomorrow! I am so excited because my 1st appointment with my Doctor is getting closer! We are so excited to get to hear the heartbeat! I am just praying for a strong heartbeat and a healthy baby!

I have been feeling most of the common pregnancy symptoms. One of the biggest is my new found sniffer! lol I can smell almost anything and it's ten times stronger than usual. I can't wear my body spray anymore because I get so nauseous from it. I can't wait for this part of pregnancy to past. I am tired of feeling sick most of the day.

Other than that, we have some big decisions we will be making soon. The changes are for the good for us and for the baby. I just pray for some patience, wisdom and guidance from God. We want to do what is right.

I will try to post more often on here. I might just turn this into a baby blog! :)

Fear and Doubt

Last night our preacher had a really good sermon and preached mainly from the book of Deuteronomy. He talked about the song of Moses and songs being a praise to God. The message was awesome as well as the service!

A lady in our church sings some of the songs that she writes. Last night she sang a song and even though I have heard it quite a bit, it still touched me. Part of the words were "Doubts and fears that has me bound." I literally pictured myself walking with ropes hanging from me and the words doubt and fear wrote on the ends.

Doubt has always been a problem for me. I seem to doubt God in the smallest things at times. I just push myself and remember the goodness of the Lord. I think testimonies are so important among the saints of God because it builds up our faith and decreases our doubt!

When was ask something in his name, we should have confidence that he will do it. We have to have faith. Having doubt is not of God.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22


I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1 Timothy 2:8


Last night at the alter, God delivered me from a lot of the doubt I have had recently. He opened my eyes and shown me a brighter way. He showed me that his love is still there regardless of my pain and selfishness. I am so thankful I am the child of the Almighty!

Thankful Tuesday: God

I have been slacking on updating my blog. I honestly have been really busy but I do need to update more!

I am thankful for God and his many blessings. I sometimes wonder why he has done so much for me. I guess at times I look at myself and think of how unworthy I am to have this relationship with him.

I know I fail him but as humans, don't we all? I am thankful for his mercy and forgiveness that he freely gives to us. God has been so amazing to me!

I look back on some of the hardest times I have been through and realize that he was there with me every step of the way. Even though I thought I was all alone, he was right there beside of me!

For that I am ever thankful!

Thankful Tuesday: My Job

I decided to start a Thankful Tuesday in my blog. Every Tuesday I want to write about something I am thankful for. So here it goes...

For my first Thankful Tuesday, I want to write about my job. I am very thankful for the job I have. Even though at moments it can be very hard and sometimes even overwhelming, it is still a blessing.

I love to care for others and to know that sometimes you are their family only makes your job more worthwhile. I got to talk with a resident one day who has no children nor does she have any family left. She told me that our nursing home staff is her family. I almost cried because sometimes you forget those little things that matter most to the residents.

I am also thankful for the fact that I even have a job. So many people are losing their jobs in this scary time in our country but I still have a job that pays decent and gives me more hours than I can handle at times.

I know quite a bit of people who has lost their job in the last year due to the economy and it is so sad. I am so glad that I don't have to think "Where is my next meal going to come from?" or "How am I going to pay for my electric bill this month with no money?"

One thing for sure, God is in control and he can bring us out of a hard situation. I am so thankful to know (even though at times I forget) how loving and gracious the Lord is. Everything that I have comes from God. He has given me more than I could ever need or want!
