Wanting to blog!

I have been blogging in my sleep! Hmmm...I found myself in the hours of dozing between feedings that I think of lots of things I would like to write about and explore, but of course I am in bed in the dark and when the morning light wakes me up (or the alarm), I quickly put those things on the back burner as the day kicks into gear.

I have been reading blogs of such encouragement. I will add those to my blog list, so you can share them, too. It seems I have been struggling with rolling emotions lately, up and down and up and down! I know my hormones are trying to get settled...do they ever get settled in your 40's?? But I find myself crying out to God for help! Of course, this is where He wants me always. It is a deep reminder of the consequences of our sinfulness. It makes me keenly aware of the fight. Sometimes it feels like I am fighting a HUGE dragon inside of me. I must remember He is my defender and my strength.

Sharpen your Sword with me!

Blogging...

My life is wonderfully full right now. I often wish there were more hours in the day and instead, I am conking out earlier than usual! I want hours to write, take pictures, read, etc. but instead I am watching my children become experts in all these areas. I am so glad! I have wanted to sit down and keep track of all my scattered thoughts, so finally I am taking a moment and just giving an update. Maybe then I can feel like getting back into the swing of blogging. I really love it and the possibilities available with the computer. I love the picture journaling that my friend Susan is working on her blog.

I will go ahead and take the excuse for why I haven't been blogging. I am three months pregnant with number ten! I have been tired, but that is passing more each day. I have really felt great! I usually have fairly easy pregnancies until the end of the time. (I think everyone is uncomfortable then! So we will be willing and ready for labor! :)) We are excited about this new baby and are looking forward to our first sonogram. I always think...(is it twins??!) We are thankful for God's continued blessings in our lives. I am always amazed at the way He works through each detail in our day. Yesterday was one of those days! (more on that later...)

Anyway, this has been what has been going on here. We have been trying some great new GF recipes that I will try to post soon. Right now GF pancakes are waiting along with hungry children...

Enjoy the Sonshine today!
