Haley: But how is the baby going to get out?
Me: I dont know, I've never had a Baby.

Me: Maybe one day when I get married.

It's a....

Pray for my sister Amber... She goes in to the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:30. They are going to break her water in hopes that she will go into labor. If not, they will enduce her. The first boy grandchild of our family!!!

I Can Only Imagine...

"And then with a smile that communicated more than any smile that Finney had ever seen, the Great One looked into his eyes and said with obvious pride, "Well done my good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.
As the crowd broke out in cheers, Finney felt overwhelmed and dropped to his knees, then flat on the ground, face down, as if the knees were still too lofty a position for the Lord of Heaven."

Home

God has given me so much! I am overwhelmed by his provision in my life. The way he leads me and works out details. The fellow followers of Jesus that he has put in my path on my journey to Him... to Home! So many graces, that He has provided!

Thanks for everyone that has been and is praying for my family. God is just so good to us. Just a little update. About 3 weeks ago (or maybe 4... cant remember exactly) my dad had to resign from work b/c of his health. This was EXTREMELY hard for him. He has been so fatigued and lacks energy even to be up moving around most days. Not long after that, I was able to stop working my summer job, and stay home with him. I am blessed to be able to be with him these days. Some times its hard, and he doesnt feel very well, so we sit around and dont to a whole lot and some days are like today... We got to go into town and have lunch (which is a blessing in and of itself since my dad hardly has much appetite most days), run errands and buy some movies at the Christian book store, which we came home and watched! GOD cares for his children, he is faithful. Someone gave my dad the book 'In Light of Eternity' by Randy Alcorn a few months back, and I have been reading it the past few days, and it is opening my eyes to what is my HOME! I am excited to one day join other saints that have arrived HOME before me. I want to be faithful to have the perspective that I am on a journey HOME. There are some cool things and people to experience and meet on this journey, but none of it compares to the Final DESTINATION!
