Seeing the truth through the fog..

Lots of adjustment!! Lots of fear!! Lots of anxiety!!

Those are the things that have motivated my blog post today. I have 2 more days of work for Newfrontiers, and I've found a lot of emotion coming in with that reality. My role is changing, dramatically, and although I can feel attacked that my new role will not be as significant, God is encourage me that those thoughts are just rubbish! I have been so encouraged today by God's presence, his love and comfort he's so faithful to bring in times when we are at the end of a chapter, and scared of the next.

God has already spoken promises to me about my future as a mother, I just have to remember to hold on to that truth. Dave Holden spoke to our staff this morning about a difficult time in his life where he was unable to "join in" with meetings, conferences, etc.. What he did have, was lots of time to worship God. What a humbling thing to be removed for a season from the middle of practically advancing God's kingdom through the church, and to be reminded that we have "an audience of one"- as Dave put it. I guess in my case I'll have an audience of one and a half :-)

Looking forward every day to meeting my sweet baby girl. Dreaming about her almost every night now. Wont be long now.... For the time being, I'll keep waddling on. Here's a picture of me at 36 weeks and 1 day. I just woke up!

35 weeks.. hanging in there

Oh how I've abandoned you blogger! But, alas, the internet has just been set up in our new home and I couldn't/shouldn't be blogging from work so this is my first opportunity since the madness has slowed down to update.

We are now almost 35 weeks preggo, which seems incredibly surreal. Her room is mostly set up (pictures to come soon) and the house is feeling less like a institution of boxes and more of a home. If she were to decide to come a bit early I believe we are all ready. Physically at least, emotionally, who knows!

I have reached a new level of uncomfortable. Thank goodness for my pregnancy pillow, without it, I don't know where I'd be. :) Bending has become almost an impossible feat, but thank goodness for my husband. How some women make it through pregnancy without a helpful and loving man, I'll never know.

Last week I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. It has been a little bit less than fun to monitor my blood sugars and count my carbs, but I'll do what I can to make sure little mama is healthy.

I'll leave with some pictures of David and I with 33 week belly. Enjoy!
