My Sweet Pea.

SO, i realize i haven't taken the time to update my blog (once again)! Lately we have been really busy, lots of things going on behind the scenes, that we are just now getting around to telling all our friends and students!! i'll post later about that, butt, for now, my days are spent being a mom to maggie and discipling a few students here and there. A year ago, i refused to blog, write, even talk to God because i was so upset that i was pregnant. Bummed that my whole life couldn't be about ME anymore. So many questions in my head-can i do this? will i be a failure (duh, i'm not jesus!)...but now, i can say with confidence that the Lord's plans were SO much better than my own for my life. Like seriously, He is so faithful. I dont want to gush on here and make you gag with all my mom talk, but I LOVE BEING A MOM! i love all the good stuff like reading maggie books, taking her on walks, picking out her girly outfits, and i love the not so

fun stuff like feeding her, changing her clothes, giving her a bath. i know these days won't last forever and that she will soon be able to walk, play, and talk. not that it's not hard, but being a mom has shown me SO MUCH more of what the Lord does for us as His children-a lot of the time He is taking care of us and wiping our snot when we're broken, weak, needy, and don't have it all together. and that's like my love for mags- she is helpless and hasn't done anything for me to love her, but i do. Not to mention that she is my husband, jake in girl form which is why she's fun to be around- smiley, giggley and so flexible and easy going. i just love her so much!!! here are a few pictures of my sweet pea from recently-
