Do you love my new background?!??! Well, I do... at least. I'm 'trying' to get a little more savvy...is it working?
I think it is an 'in-season' kind of blog...don't you think? :)
Today is August 31st, and I am choosing to embrace the new season (fall) early....despite the fact that it's going to be 93 degrees today.
I am doing a lot of things sooner rather than later since we have a special delivery coming soon! Christmas is my favorite time of the year; I care nothing about Halloween...So, Christmas will come EARLY in our home this year-starting Halloween weekend! My husband kinda thinks I'm crazy but when it is all said and done, he enjoys it just as much as I do.
Last year was our first Christmas in our home and we had a great time decorating the tree. Trey's parents came over and my "spiritual parents-" Gary & Judy- all helped with the decorating...Well, I should say that the men sat, observed, and took pictures. My husband, on the other hand, was very hands on. He will have to be that much more hands on this year too, as I "waddle" around trying to make our home ready for "Bear" and his first Christmas! Exciting stuff people.
Have I mentioned how excited I am to meet my baby boy?!?!? Well, I am REALLY excited!
As we embrace the change of season (thank God), I have a lot to be thankful for this year. Last year'sThanksgiving was difficult. We endured the heart ache of a miscarriage, as our baby would have been due around November 31st. I still think about "her" often and it is hard to believe that "she" would be approaching a year old in just a few months. But, God has been gracious to me and Trey by giving us another "miracle." Aren't babies by nature miracles? I mean think about the intricate design that goes into creating a life. Doctor's are even blown away!
Our little baby boy is most definitely a God-send. Once again, we were not even trying and wouldn't you know-another baby Sheneman on the way! Our babies' due dates are actually close to one year apart from each other. It amazes me to think that God saw my broken heart and saw fit to give us another try as parents...even in the midst of uncertainty.
So, here's to the start of a new season. Are you ready? For some, it will be a season of difficulty and trials, while others a season of success and pure bliss. Either way, are you ready for the new season? Are you equipped with the Word of God, covered in his armor and prayed up like never before? If not, you need to get there. There is nothing sweeter then basking in his presence both when times are good and bad.
In His Grace,
