Unanswered Prayers

I haven't been up to much lately...I lead a pretty boring life. It's very strange to not have our schedule revolving around church and youth group activities. We definitely miss Millview and everyone there and I'm still a little bit in shock that we are really not going to be there anymore. Anyway, we aren't really sure what we are going to do about church and where we are going to go, but I guess we are just going to visit around until we figure out if Avery is getting another youth ministry job or not. I know that God is in control of what we are going to do and where we are going to end up. I was driving the other day thinking about my prayers and how I have been praying for Avery to have a new job quickly because financially we are going to need it before too long. The next song that came on was "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks. Just in case you don't know the song, the chorus is basically that some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. I love how sometimes God speaks to me so quickly when he knows I needed to be reminded of that fact.

I got my first maternity dress and top today! It's weird to see how much I've grown in just a few weeks. It is so awesome to think of what a blessing it is to be carrying a child that is growing inside of me. I know part of it is because I haven't been sick at all, but other than the tiredness, I like being pregnant. I really can't complain about it because it is just an amazing feeling. The hardest thing to me is the fact that I work 12 hour shifts, which is a loooong time to be on your feet and working anyway, much less pregnant. But once again, definitely not complaining because it is all worth it. We go to the doctor on Tuesday for the 16 week check up and then I'll make our next appointment when we'll find out the gender!!! I am soooo excited!

Hope you all have had a great weekend!!
