Monday Musings~Ode to My Husband

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4



Above is a picture of the flowers Scott brought home to me Friday night. He and Jack went to the store to get stuff to make burgers and Jackson excitedly brought these to me when they got home. This small gesture reminded me of what a great man I married. I remember back in the day when we were broken up and I had to "let go" of Scott. I didn't want to but knew I had to. Then, I came across this verse. I really didn't realize at the time that the desire of my heart was to be with Scott forever but the Lord did. I went about my life "delighting myself in the Lord" all the while letting go of Scott. Seven months later God brought us back together (it's a long but wonderful story to be told at a later time).

I bring that story up because the flowers reminded me that God blessed me with the desire of my heart: Scott. The most wonderful thing is that he is still what I desire. He is the love of my life and my heart longs for him. He is an incredible man who I am blessed to love and grow old with. I admire him and am proud to be his wife and the mother of his son. He never stops encouraging me even when I have a mental breakdown because I can't understand the research for my master's project. He will sit with me calmly explaining it to me until I understand. He challenges me to be a kinder person who worries less and enjoys each moment more (I'm still working on this one). He respects me and desires to fill my life, our life, with joy and happiness. He teaches our son everything from baseball to letter sounds and enjoys every second. He even teaches our son to love and respect women, especially his mommy. These are just a few of the MANY things I adore about my husband. Mostly, it is in the little things, like receiving flowers or Scott giving Jack a bath so I can have a break, that I see his love most!

So, I thank You, Lord, for giving me the desire of my heart. May I love, cherish, and appreciate every single moment I have with my good and perfect gift.

I love you through eternity, Scott!

sigh...
Yeah, I love him too. I want a man just like him. Someone to explain my Masters research to me, someone to deal with my breakdowns, someone to not allow me to lose myself in him.
Where oh where is MY Scott???

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
