Week 17 and a Day

Today marks 17 weeks and one day since Rebecca and I found out that we were having a baby. It's quite exciting, i tell ya! We were with my family and they were picking out names and whatnot (some were good...others were well...), talking about what they were going to buy and how excited they all are. No one gets sad with that stuff I tell ya. It was cool seeing my dad all smiles as he thought about being a grandfather. That was really stellar! Dad about to be a grandad. Awesome.

This week, I'm trying to be more in sync with what God wants to do in my life and in the life of my group. It is so easy to fall into the traps of what I want and fall away from God's plans. I don't think i've gotten that far but i have been resting on my butt and leaving too many things to my own strength and I don't like that feeling. It's like a calm before a storm and I want to be holding on to Jesus when it falls, not my own talents and abilities, cause that'll fall off soon enough.

Each day is a gift...use it wisely...

Can't wait to find out what you two are having. For some reason I thought that perhaps you would have wanted to be surprised, but hey we have the technology now to find things out early so why not I suppose. One more week to go my friends!
