Preparing for Motherhood

This is my desktop background at work ... just to prepare me for all aspects of motherhood. It's my beautiful niece, Sidney, being woken up from a nap.

Wednesday Wants ...

... for it to be Friday already so we can get home to visit family!

... to drink spiced apple cider in my Snuggie

... a good book to read

... Flamin' Hot Cheetos (weakness of the moment)

... Brent to have a great birthday

... a maternity clothes shopping spree!

An Extraordinary Woman?

We are starting a study in my Bible study on extraordinary women in the Bible. We are going to study Eve, Ruth, Anna, Mary and Martha, Mary Magdalene, Sarah, Hannah, the Samaritan woman, and Mary (Jesus's mama) - of course.

I think my desire for this study is to try and find out how I am important to God's plan and how He wants to use me - in the quietness of my own life - for His plans. Because sometimes I wish my life weren't so quiet ... but I hope to find out just how a quiet life can become really loud throughout the ages.

McDonalds

I don't know why, but I can't stop thinking about McDonalds. Isn't that weird how that happens? You see advertising everywhere and it literally creates cravings within you for those things! I wonder what would happen if they advertised the Bible and Jesus ... like they do McDonalds.

A perfect evening might include enjoying a nice big mac and fries during my devotion time. I can think of nothing better.

Ba da ba ba baa, I'm lovin' Him ...
