Almost Time....

Well it's almost time for us to head out of Alaska to go visit family in the lower 48. I am beyond excited, but I can't really enjoy my excitement until I am on the plane from Anchorage bound for Chicago. I now understand what James means when he tells me that he won't be happy or excited until we get there. I have last minute packing to do, but I can do it until tomorrow just before I head up to the airport.

I can't really enjoy my excitement since we are are flying stand-by. I've known this all along, but I was to excited to care. I mean it's been 2 years since I have seen my family. I've been praying that everything will go smoothly for us, but there is the small little doubt that we won't make because I am just too excited. I've been trying to think positive this week. My family has been telling me that everything will be fine. I know that Satan is attacking me with this small doubt about not making it. I've been praying and asking God that we make it, but if we don't that he will give me the peace about not making it. This is really a big trusting issue. I know that God is in control. He knows my tomorrows and that I shouldn't worry about us leaving. Everything will work out in His timing.

I am asking you who read this to pray that we can make all of our flights and that we can land in Chicago Thursday morning and that Payton does well with this longer flight. I'm also asking that you pray for me to have peace if we don't make it. I am trying not to get my hopes set too high so that if we don't make it, I'll won't be completely bummed.

Well hopefully and prayerfully I'll be seeing my family Thursday.

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 ...
