20 weeks 3 days

Well ladies and gentleman, we are one week post surgery, praise the Lord! This time last week I was eating hospital chicken fingers and french fries (which, at Presbyterian Main are actually really good!) and was prepping for being discharged. I can't believe it has been a week already. Thank you everyone for your prayers. I'm crying as I'm typing this, not sure if it's from the progesterone shots, the emotions, or the lovely people in our lives that have made this tolerable so far. I went to the doctor on Monday afternoon, thanks to my sweet friend Margaret who was gracious enough to take me so Adam didn't have to miss more work. I was given my first of weekly shots of progesterone and told that I really needed to take bedrest seriously, mostly lying down or being in a reclining position (to which my Mom insists we go buy a recliner immediately, haha). Monday night the Priles brought us dinner and it was delicious! Yesterday Kristi and Quinn came by for a visit and then I slept most of the afternoon. Today Casey brought me lunch and then Kristen came by to hang out and chat. Thank ya'll for being so sweet and kind to come spend time with me while I lay here :) It means soooo much to me! Going from working full time to a quiet house that I'm not allowed to clean, organize, scrapbook (except virtually) and decorate is a challenge. I just lie here, watch tv, look at magazines, play on facebook, etc. While it probably seems glorious to just rest, it is difficult for someone who doesn't like being still..and your tushie gets sore! But, if it means this baby girl gets here healthy then it will be worth every minute! I have learned that pop-tarts make a great afternoon snack, that when it rains I don't feel as bad staying inside, and that it's still possible to "not find time" to spend time with God even when you are forced to do nothing. Ahh, the life of a sinner. ;)
So, I guess I'll get off here, go read my bible, and wait on Adam to get home. Because that's definitely the highlight of my days :) Seriously, what would I do without that man!
Thank you for your prayers, please keep praying that we'll get to a full 36 weeks with a safe delivery!
Love,
G
p.s. My friend Rebecca Fish pointed out that I wrote a blog on loving being at home in a previous post. I also wrote one about dying to self and not complaining about mother hood. Isn't God's sense of humor just hysterical?!  I need to be more careful what I blog about :) Maybe I'll write about how awesome it is to be a millionaire next....

Things...

Millie Hollomon photography. Absolutely amazing. Her blog is milliehollomonblog.com. My old roomate Rebecca is a photographer for her company now. Millie photographed Rebecca's wedding, that I was in - and her photography is just amazing. I feel like I should say this! Shelly Moore Band. Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful. She praises Jesus with her voice and Mike's guitar. www.shellymoore.com . You should buy her cd. Charlotte South Fellowship Where I hang out, praise Jesus, and learn more about Him.

Fish on Land

I was telling my friend Kristi the other day that we sordof feel like Fish on Land. Out of place, awkward, and not sure what we are supposed to do to survive. Our lives have been a whirlwind since...well...awhile. We left the church Adam was on staff with Easter Sunday. Since then, we have been praying and asking God what and where we are supposed to do next. Move to Charlotte, move to Wilmington, move to somewhere a church hires us. Do we look for church positions or look for secular jobs...do we look for student ministry jobs or another type of ministry? Do we sell or rent our house? What are we supposed to do? The answer to these questions are not yet decided. We have had some contacts for jobs but nothing has come through yet. We think we might want to move to Wilmington if we can find something. We pray every night asking God that we stay in His will. Knowing all along that what His will might be is that we just trust in Him and be patient. Trusting that He will provide. That H

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I
