Pondering thoughts

Church was so great today! I just had to blog about it because it was on family and really touched my heart. Pastor is doing a 6 week series on "How to succeed with your family". The sermon couldn't have come at a better time! Today he preached in Ephesians 5 and a little of 6 on wives submitting to their husbands, and husbands submitting to Christ. After the service this afternoon I just pondered on it and relaxed in the office and thought about what it truly meant to submit and to have that kind of a marriage with your spouse. Lord knows I haven't always been the best, I am very strong willed. But I thought hard about Chad and how wondeful of a man he is and how he truly does submit his everyday life to Christ, and that reflects on me- and then our marriage. I just find that as such a blessing and know that is why we have such a wonderful friendship and marriage together. We aren't perfect, we have our flaws, but when 99% of your marriage is just FUN, easy going, happy, loving, honest... it makes you smile to know that you both have God 100% moving in your life.

I have a lot to work on before Avery, but with my time off I am really trying to stay busy, but also just make the time to be still and listen to God speak to me. I have always worried in my life; about others problems, about pleasing people, about being the best I can be... and I can't always do that! God has really taught me to worry about MY life and MYSELF and MY actions, and more importantly, pleasing Him, not others all of the time.

Im just thankful for my family, my best friends, and my life in general. I have it so good. Speaking of family- me, Chad, Tiff had a slumber party with my parents last night, haha! Mom made my favorite chilli and we baked brownies, watched movies, and vegged. It was so nice! We woke up to mom's breakfast cassarole and waffles with strawberries, whipped cream, and nuts! Wow, talk about spoiled! It was nice! Im so thankful for my mom and dad, and for letting me and Tiff invite ourselves over for them to slave for us- heehee, they are so good!

So tomorrow I meet with the lady Renee that is doing our baby bedding. Mom is going with me to councel because she knows WAY more about what I want then I do. Hopefully a month from now we will have the room painted and in full swing! Avery is good, starting to move a lot- she doesn't like chocolate AT ALL. I had a brownie today after church and boy was she rollin and I almost got sick! I have noticed that 2 times now when I have chocolate, that little stinker!!
