After reading my last post in July of last summer, I couldn't help but think my feelings haven't changed much since. Things still don't feel "normal," although there is routine in our lives now. Someday things will settle down? Someday. But God has decided to take us on another few roller coasters in the next few months that he is equipping us for in ways I know we can't even see yet.
I'm pregnant!
There, it's announced to the blogging world. By now this is no surprise to people. Yesterday makes 26 weeks pregnant with our baby girl. Can I just say I've been waiting for this day for, well, literally my whole life?! Ever since I'd had my first doll, I've wanted to be a mom. And can I just say I LOVE being pregnant? I mean besides the back pain and all that stuff (like crying during every State Farm and Zillow commercial), feeling her kick and squirm in there is incredible and weird all at the same time. We can't wait to meet our baby girl (due in June) - and I get the whole summer to spend with her 24/7 :)
On top of becoming parents, Brian is almost finished with medical assistant school! Yay! He should be starting his externship at the end of this month, and finding a full time job in May. He's really excited about starting this new career path in the medical field - and he does a great job at it! I'm very proud of him!
Our lives are about to change.
Again.
Just thinking back on a year ago this week we were starting our new lives in the US, not knowing where God would lead us, taking a huge leap of faith, and now here we are again...taking a huge leap of faith that he will guide us in the right path with the right careers and parenthood - all to honor His kingdom!
I say I want our lives to get a little more "boring" and settled, but in a way I don't. I think that's a big issue with believers of God - that things become so routine and settled that the magnificence and brilliance of the power of God becomes desensitized in our lives. Who would ever wish for that?
I continue to be in awe of Him, especially growing this little miracle inside of me. Wow.
