Hello out there?

Wow...it has been ages since I blogged!  I wonder if anyone of my 5 followers even checks my blog anymore!?!  ha!

Life has been busy.  I wish I was that kind of woman who could do it all:  keep a nice house, make creative meals, be a smart/savvy business owner. 

The reality is I am a mess.  I can't focus for very long on any one task these days.  I am in the middle of my 3rd trimester.  Yep, you heard right.  Baby #3 is on the way.  God has a way of making sure you know His plan is in action.

For about 2 years I had been praying.  I was asking God if another child was in the cards for us.  I suffer from post part em depression.  It was bad enough after my second child that I really thought I would never do this again.  LISTEN UP!  PPD is not wanting to harm my children, or abandon them, that is a whole different condition.  Never once did I want to avoid the joy and responsibility of being with my babies.  I was just depressed.  If you have ever been depressed, you know the awfulness of being overwhelmed, outside of yourself, and lonely. 

So, I prayed.  I couldn't make any firm commitment to altering my, or my husband's, reproductive organs.  I felt that because I couldn't make that decision, God might have something else planned for us.  He did.  SURPRISE!

I am excited for this new journey.  I have had several prayer sessions to ease my anxiety of what may come after the baby arrives.  I feel 100% that God is in this, and he will not abandon me.

May God bless you and keep you!
