Brand New Year!

Welcome to a new year!  I cannot believe it is 2012, and, even more, I cannot believe how our lives have turned out!  For the entire year of 2011, we spent an abundance of time praying, reading, praying, discussing, and praying some more.  We knew that God was doing something in our hearts and in our lives, but we were unsure as to where that would take us (if anywhere).

Well, up until the end of last year, we were fairly sure that God was taking us in one direction.  However, he is God, and his thoughts are higher than ours.  The one thing that we were 100% sure of was that we desperately wanted to be right where God wanted us, no matter how it looked.  And we trusted that he would lead us, and he did, as he always does.

He is leading us into 2012, and I'm overwhelmingly excited.  Billy is now working full-time at our church, and I am not working at all (except, you know, at making a baby).  In just 6 short weeks, we will be having a little boy entering our lives, and we couldn't be more thrilled about it.

Here's a picture from last week (33 weeks pregnant) -

I'm so very glad to be back to blogging on a more regular basis.  Waiting over 2011 taught me more than anything else could have, but it made me very quiet, very watchful of what I shared.  Now that some things are settled, I can share more of my heart with you all!
