right now

Words are a snapshot of where are in time which is why I love writing and reading other's daily reflections and musings. Ashley's list yesterday made me smile and I thought it would be encouraging to do one of my own. Currently I am:

Loving:
-feeling this baby move so regularly.
-taking each day as it comes.
-seeing grass poke through the snow.
-the thought that I have a summer wardrobe waiting for me that includes lots of flowing tops and not necessarily (although allowed) elastic waistbands.

Not Loving:
-waking up at all kinds of odd hours and pretty consistently from 3-5 a.m.
-not knowing how to make a decision in front of us.

Accomplishing:
-cleaning out every nook and cranny in our house, using facebook and craigslist to list items and taking the rest to goodwill.
-organizing pictures and files on my computer (nesting has taken over my life!)
-walking through some really great stuff that we learned in our discipleship class with Katie.

Preparing:
-to be a mom!
-to list our house for sale as we transition to Grand Rapids for Ryan to start seminary. Which creates a whole additional list of preparing.
-for our maternity pics in a few weeks with Christy by scouring our closets and the sale racks at Motherhood.
-to transition out of my role at Evergreen at the end of April.

Forgetting:
-how I have always felt about control and planning in exchange for God's bigger plan.

Reading:
-Babywise
-the Old Testament, slowly but surely.

Believing:
That God has led our journey this far and will continue to do the same in the days to come.

  1. Aw, love your list. :) One day we will have to get these babes together - I feel like I'm going through this pregnancy with you since we are so close with our due dates! Hope you are able to get the rest you need. XOXO
