Can you believe it will be Thanksgiving in 2 weeks! I can't. This is my favorite time of the year. But something in me is ready for Spring. I am sure you know why! I am 20 weeks along. I can't believe I am already half way there. We find out what the sex is on Monday! And were keeping it a secret! SHHH. Well until the 17th. I couldn't keep it secret till the baby gets here. That would be crazy! LOL.
Just in case you didn't know if its a girl her name will be.... Lynlee Jean Nottingham.
And if its a boy it will be Easton I am still messing with the middle name. So we will see about that.
We are super excited! I know David is wanting a boy. I really don't care, I am just so excited to be a mom. I have always wanted to be a mom. My dream is coming true. I can't thank God enough for this baby.
I am trying to figure out more that has been going on lately as I type. During Fall Break I got to go with our church to Joplin and help a homeless shelter. I didn't get to do much but drive a van. But it was so much fun and very eye opening. I love watching teenagers to come together and work for something positive.
Once we can figure out what we will be having, I will update more on what were doing with the baby's room and everything.
I can't expressed how thankful I am and blessed I am.
Hey, this is my first official post! I am not even sure why I am starting this. I think its because I feel writing will help me find some answers to the life questions I have. Also, going through a huge change in my life right now I think it would be fun to share my experiences. I will say I was never a great writer, so with that I will have grammer issues and could possibly leave out words...Just right there, I caught myself putting the word out back in the sentence. Just being honest, and real. So we are going to start with what had me deciding to start this....
I was at the Hillsong concert on Saturday with a friend. Their second song they sang is a song I hold dear to my heart. I felt God telling me to do this. As I sang the song I was telling him "Who would want to read about my boring life?" He never really answered just tugged on my heart some more. So here I am.
The song above is the song that they were singing.
So during this song I realized I have been struggling. Who doesn't right? It wasn't really the song that got me to realize. I think it was God saying, "Wake up and see what your missing"
I am helping a friend out with a school project were she is in a counseling session with me, I am coming to her for some counseling. Your probably wondering why are you telling me this? Well because its where the root of my struggling comes to play. I always thought a degree would answer my prayers and get me where I wanted to be. Only person who can do that is God. I felt him calling me to social work, but now I find myself working my church's preschool. (Which I am loving it!) But it makes me question a lot of things with God. So this is why I named the blog what I did. I am 25 years old still trying to find my place in this world.
I've always wanted to be a mom. And David and I are so blessed to be given a baby! And we can't for its arrival in March. I am torn about it all. I've always seen myself as a stay at home mom. (Just like my mom, who is a great role model for me!) But I also see myself as a working mom! See my issues I have? Lol.
With all of that, that's why I created this that I can put my feelings and thoughts out there to get some clarification or answers. Rather its God giving them to me or people's advice. I am excited for this journey. I hope someone out there will be excited to read my ramblings.
