It's been awhile since I've posted on here. Mainly because I've been pretty busy, but also because every time I sit down to write, I either lose my train of thought, or nothing sounds like I intend it to sound. I'm blaming it on pregnancy brain, and I can't promise that this post will be any better... ;)
Christmastime has just snuck up on me, and here we are, just a week away. It's soo easy to get caught up in all the different things that can occupy your mind. Some of those things for me have been gifts, money, piano lessons, jobs, sleep and baby. A couple nights ago, I was laying in bed and couldn't sleep. I was thinking through some scripture and song lyrics, and was just so convicted about how my focus has NOT been on Christ these past few weeks. Taking the time to really meditate on what this season represents for Christians was challenging and so encouraging! Thinking about Christ as a baby..and the mystery of that....thinking about what Mary must have felt, carrying the Savior in her womb, and then raising Him.... thinking about the awesome humility of the way Christ came into the world... it's all so beautiful. And my prayer is that I will stay focused on that, amongst all the craziness that is in my schedule this next week!
In other news, we have been trying to get ready for baby's arrival in a few short months. I have started buying diapers and wipes, receiving all sorts of cute clothes that occupy my daydreams with my son in them, and getting the nursery room ready to paint and put together. Chris and his dad have been working on other house projects these last few weeks, and it's SO fun to see all the "small" things come together in the house (although, there is still SO much to do...but I am happy with each little thing that comes together) I still have to do things like finish my registry, tour different hospitals and decide where I want to go, and start exercising again to prepare for childbirth ..(I got these great videos', but haven't done them at all in the last 3 weeks..ugh!) I am getting bigger and the weight is starting to come quickly as well, which isn't the most fun to watch numbers appear on the scale that you've never witnessed before...haha..but, it's a good thing that the baby is growing and getting stronger.
These last 3 weeks, Chris has had interview after interview after interview. One day, he got FIVE calls from different companies interested in pursuing him. After all of that, we are still waiting to hear the result from one company that he has had FOUR interviews with. Chris thought that after all of that he would get a job offer, but we'll see! It's so easy to get anxious about this, and I wish I didn't struggle with that! I know that God will provide our needs :)
Okay..time to take my scattered thoughts back to work :)
