Getting back in the Ministry

Well I am getting back into being involved in the church. I was asked to help teach Sunday school with 2 other ladies. We will be rotating every week so no one has to be there every Sunday. Myself and one of the other ladies will only be there for a few months. The other lady is due just before me. I'll stay on until February. After I'm gone it will only be the one lady for the last couple months of Sunday school. This is new for me as I have yet to teach Sunday school, but hey there is a first for everything, right? So I ask prayer as I am to teach for the first time this Sunday.

I also decided to get brave and volunteer to help out in Awana. It was really hard for me to decide if I want to do this or not. I didn't want to throw myself into so many ministries that I get burnt out. I've gotten burnt out before and it was hard to say no,but I always knew that I needed a break. Well after talking to James for almost 3 weeks on and off I finally decided that I can do Awana. It's going to be a little different than what I am use too since it's on Tuesday night and I was told that there is only about 35-50 kids that come for all ages. When I worked in Awana in high school we had at least 20 kids in Sparks. So it will all be new for me. I will most likely be helping out in Sparkies again which is exciting. I will also only be working until February.

I'm asking that if you think about pray that I will have the energy every week for Awana and on the Sunday's that I will teach. Also that my pregnancy continues to go well. Once I get to 36 weeks I won't be able to leave Bethel until after the baby is born.

At the end

It's 8:05 pm the night before my due date. I can't believe I'm the end of my pregnancy. I know that Payton can be late, but knowing the end is near is kinda nice. I've enjoyed being pregnant, but these last 3 weeks have been really hard for me. I not the biggest fan of surprises. I have to know what or when something is going to happen. James has a hard time surprising me because I'm always trying figure out what he is doing. *He did surprise me today with some chocolate and a Valentines day card*  Anyways knowing that Payton could come any time excites me, but also terrifies me. I mean when in the world is he going to show. I wish I could just be give a date saying that he will be born that day. Not a due date since most babies are not born on their actual due date. Poor James, I've kept him up numerous time in the past few weeks freaking out, stressing, etc. over this whole not knowing and knowing that I can't do anything about it really. God knows and I h...

Trusting.

Well, I've been going down the road of life trying to trust God in every situation. I'm praying and hoping that my husband can get a job soon, seeing since we are out of money and have bills still coming, mostly my student loans. I'm struggling with all of this just because James doesn't have a job yet. I'm sure I wouldn't be as stressed out if we had some money flow coming in.   During all of this I think back to when my dad had his open heart surgery 9 months ago. My mom was also trusting and believing that God would provide during that time. My parent's had bills coming in and had no money to pay them. My dad had his surgery on the monday before thanksgiving in 2010. My mom would come home during the week stay and there would be money in the mail for her and it was always enough to get her through.  I wish I could be like my mom and have the faith that she did. I've been very emotional during all of this. I haven't gotten a good night rest since...

might be good-bye for now, but not forever.

Almost every night I have a hard time falling asleep. Half of the time it's because I just am not tired enough to fall asleep, the other half is because my brain won't shut off. I always have different things that I want to write about in a blog, but then by the morning I forget about it. During the day I think oh I should write a blog.  I told James that I want to write one blog per week for the whole year. He just laughed at me and said, you'll run out of things to write about. Right now I feel like he is write, but on the other hand I feel like I can write a lot. Everything I want to write about is getting pregnant and the separation period with James being in a different village. So I guess I won't be writing a blog for awhile, since my last I don't know how many blogs have been about getting pregnant and my separation time. I don't want to bore all the people that might actually read this. So unless I can think of something else, you might not hear from me ...
