Honest Heart. Googly Eyes.

I am so thankful for those moments when the Lord opens my heart and I look at Jon with the warming realization that I married just the man for me.

It's been amazing letting the Lord open my heart toward him, seeing Jon for who Jesus made him. As Jesus fills my heart for Himself, my heart is filled with love for Jon. Our friend said recently--

"Our desire to minister to others is directly related to how we are letting
Jesus minister to us."

How true it is. Why do I neglect our marriage in times of drought? Because Jesus is my central source of love. Apart from Him, I can do nothing. If our marriage is suffering, it's usually a direct result of the scarcity of interaction between me and the Lord.

Lately, the Lord has sown in me a deep, deep love. I've realized how much I've come to trust Jon...as a best friend, husband, confidant, lover, and now as a daddy to our baby. The fruit of Jesus' love in us has been love between us.

Am I ministering to Jon? Well, you can ask him. ;0)

It's been a choice. A self-denying choice. But the fruit has been JOY...exceeding JOY. And I am so thankful that he is mine. :0)

Triple Whammie

Make that TWO sisters that are pregnant!!!

Matt & Mary Trombley (Sally's sister) are pregnant and due in December!! Praise the Lord for such a blessing! I'll spare you the long story, but this little one is a miracle! :0) Please pray for the health and safety of both Mary and baby Trombo!

We're so excited! Sally's parents are all geared up for TRIPLE Grandparenthood! Woohoo! September, October, and December!

Our little one is growing along quickly and moving a lot! We just can't wait to see his precious face!

Praise the Lord for Babies!

As You Wish...Belly Shots!!

Here's the most recent Belly Shot (May 6th)! It seems like Baby Jon-Boy is getting bigger everyday!
I'm just beginning to feel the muscles pull around my tummy and my belly button is getting more shallow by the day!! I feel great and have lots of energy! The only things slowing me down seem to be a little back and ankle/foot pain...but my Hubby is faithful to massage away my pains (well...almost :0)!!

Our next appointment is scheduled for May 18th!

God has been so faithful to provide for us already! More to come on that later...

Gig'em Lil' One!

The wonderful ladies in my classes threw our first baby shower yesterday! YEA! Along with some super awesome and super practical gifts was a simple little treasure. This gift roused the greatest amount of Aggie Pride I think I have ever felt (as a Two-Percenter especially!)...along with an overwhelming awareness that parenthood lasts many, many years!

Gig'em Lil' One!

Look at that lil' booty!
