The Last Week!

So I've officially reached the last week of pregnancy!  Yay!!!  I could have sworn I was in labor last night... I couldn't sleep and I kept getting contractions, but alas, I woke up and no baby!  I am very excited for our new baby and will be posting tons of pictures when he arrives.  Right now I just don't really have anything to take pictures of. 

I recently went to a women's ministry event at our church in which the speaker was Candace Cameron.  Remember DJ Tanner from Full House?   She had a very powerful testimony and I was very encouraged by how God is working through her.  What struck me the most probably was the fact that she took ten years off from acting in order to exclusively stay home with her kids.  She spent her days changing diapers, cleaning house, cooking meals.... and then would wake up and do it all over again!  Sound familiar to anyone?  I was really challenged to continue to let my household be my ministry and not to get caught up in signing on to too many projects/volunteer positions, etc.  My kids and husband are a great ministry opportunity and this is what God has called me to do right now.  

So keep praying for me as this last week unfolds!  Can't wait to meet our new little boy!
