Whelp. With e-mail, cell phones, and facebook everybody pretty much knows already, but for bloggings sake (and the fact that I don't have anything to do at work right now and reading tends to put me to sleep) - Yes I am indeed pregnant. If you look to the right side of the blog you can find out exactly how far along I am. I am not telling the exact due date (although if you know your math you have probably already figured that out) because I want to avoid harrassment around due date time. Suffice to say we will have a new friend around Halloween and a new addition to our family circle at Christmas time.
Working where I work I am both blessed and cursed in regards to pregnancy. I know everything that is normal and am therefore not afraid or concerned at the normal pregnancy symptoms. However, I am also cursed in that I know everything that can go wrong, as I see it on a weekly basis at work. This is a big prayer request for me. I need to trust God with this pregnancy. A song that keeps coming to mind lately (maybe because I have had the CD playing in my car) is Rebecca St. James' "I Can Trust You."
Here are the lyrics:
I Can Trust You
Yes, I know that you have paved a path for me.
Yes, I know that you see what I do and don't need.
But when it comes to the deepest things
I have a hard time relinquishing control
Letting go
God, it hurts to give you what I must lay down
But when I let go, freedom's found
God, it hurts to give You what I've held so dear
Because of Your love its clear
I can trust you with this
I can trust you with me
I can trust you.
Lord, I know that you are worthy of my trust
For you have shown me time and time again
You're faithful and yet
I'm so scared of letting go of this
Afraid of what you might do with it
How could I forget who you are like this?
Me forsaking
Heart is breaking
I let go of what I've held so tight
Freedom's mine now
For the taking
I move in faith, not by sight
Let your will be done.
Every word cuts to the quick. Why shouldn't I give God my fears about this pregnancy and everything else in my life? He has always taken care of me and my family. Why would He stop now? Anyway, I could use some prayer in this. On that note....
Yay! We are going to have a monkey! Giraffe....BABY!

Yay!!! :) Great song, too. I'm with you. Entrusting my children to God is the most difficult thing I've ever been asked to do. Thank goodness I have Christ and the power that raised Him from the dead. I could not do it by myself.
