Fall in Love...

Everyday this little man captures my heart in a whole new way. Every day he causes my heart to burst with pride and joy. It's hard to believe that someone so small can have such an impact on me. I am amazed that pretty soon I will have two boys to look after. How blessed am I??!!
We are so anxious to meet our new arrival.
God if you want his birthday to be today--We are all for it!!!! :0)

all in God's timing...I know...I know.

When I stop and look...

What actually makes my yesterdays and todays satisfying? I mean what events? What goals? What accomplishments? What tasks? What people? What jobs?
With the goals I have in my mind for the future....what am I doing today that will lead me to the destination. Am I focused? Am I so consumed by a status that truth is set aside and avoided? What really matters to me? Ha- I must ask myself WHO really matters to me. I come in contact with so many people. But then again who wouldn't matter to me?
Ok so you ask- Where is she going with this?
I have been asked to write a "Dear God Letter"
Personally I dont think I have ever sat down and written...Dear God. I have the prayer journal and notes from services, but that is not what this letter is to be.
We are supposed to talk to God and tell him our goals, and talk about things that may be holding us back......well this got me to thinking about my goals

If the Goals I have set- the ones which I think they are SOOO important. Are they truly what God has planned for me? I mean the time and sacrifice some of these goals require COMPLETELY ignore some of God's scriptures (directions) . I mean they dont require me to "fall short", but they cause me to not focus on the whole truth- even some where church is involved. --So is it Amy inspired or God inspired?
Some goals I have attained...and well others never happened so I say- "well that must be what God wanted- or it would have turned out differently"....I look at it now and say NO DUMMY! --
writing this letter has made me notice that some of my "Important Goals"- arent what God wants for me.
***They were what Amy WANTED GOD to WANT!
So over the next couple of days I have some extra praying to do.
Have you ever thought of writing this type of thing down....It has really caused me to think

That may sound like such a "baby Christian" thing to say (and with almost 27 years of church poured into me...i can not consider myself a baby christian)

This lady lost her dog...see if you can help

What I just listened to...

My brother is always writing about songs he is or has listened to, so now it is my turn. I heard this song on the radio- and oh did the tears fall...I dont think I cried just because I am pregnant. It takes alot to make me cry. I think this song is very touching. Click on this website and you can play the song and the new video. Hopefully your computer can pull it up. I pray my boys will have a heart like the young man in this viceo.

Little Man

This picture is a little old, but I adore it.

I cant imagine...is it worth it?

I cant imagine taking my kids to the park and having cameras follow not only my move but my childs' moves. If you look in the background you can see more photographers sitting behind the tree trying to snap photos.
I must say I go to People.com atleast once a week. I hate to think that I support this kind of behavior-- but I enjoy looking in to the lives of famous people. What they wear, how they look, where they eat...etc. But by going to this web site am I supporting this type of intrusion?? I am afraid so.
Now I know these actors and acresses get paid millions, and this is what they can expect....I wonder if it is worth it to them in the long run?

This photo defines Heeby-geebies

This picture gave me the creeps!

I cant beleive it I figured out how to load a pic!

That wasn't hard- now I feel dumb

Is the pacifier for kids or parents?

Sounds like a dumb question, but for the last couple of days I have come to the conclusion it is for the sanity of the parents and not the child. My sitter says she does not give him his "passy" during the day anymore. Well he gets it at night. He doesnt neccessarily need it, but it does help calm him down if he is tired, angry, or just plain upset. Like last night he got a spanking-(hope that is ok with all of you :0)
He took a rolling pin to the TV. -He is quick- I didnt even know he knew where we kept it. I cant believe he could swing it- it's kinda heavy.
Anyways, he got a spanking from dad. Well Dad had been his buddy ALL night (mom has to sit her bottom on the couch to keep away the braxton hicks/ contractions) Well Chad couldnt get him to calm down, and I couldnt..but behold the pacifier made it all better.
And the house was quiet again. They say it is good for a child to "cry it out', but I dont know how good it is for the parents...
suggestions would be nice!

a new blog to look at

One of my pastors- Chris Bennett has started a blog you can check it out.
