I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas! We certainly enjoyed spoiling each other this year. We can't believe that every Christmas after will be much different. We treasured spending time together and can't believe how our lives are going to change. Deric is truly such an amazing husband. He does so much for me..considering now that I'm sick all the time. I couldn't have asked for a better husband. 

This holiday season I had to just keep reminding myself the reason for the season. God sent a precious gift to Earth. Jesus would change the world forever. I'm am looking foward to telling my little one all about Jesus and the love He has for each of us. 

Deric and I are anxious and earnestly praying for wisdom in these next couple months.  We need to find a place to live and figure out how much I need to work to make ends meet. We both trust that the Lord will provide for us and guide us in the right direction. So, if you know of anyone who can give us a place to live, let us know! We may rent or buy a house. Wherever we live we will be together, forever. 

I'm really excited!

Well Deric and I are officially expecting our first baby. We are really excited and can't wait to see what God has planned for our lives. We know we have a lot of decisions to make, but we are thrilled to have a little one of our own. The countdown is so cool! Enjoy watching a fictional picture of my baby grow!

You Be Lifted High

Hi folks! It's been such a long time sense I wrote. Did you miss me?? Life has been going by so fast. There are have been a lot to take in. Above is a beautiful picture of one of my students. The doctors have discovered 2 tumors in Erin. One in her hip and 1 on her skull. I have full peace that God will heal her. It won't be an easy process. But, with God's strength this beautiful young girl will make it through. I pray that God will use this family and this circumstance to impact others for Christ. Many could be angry at God. Every right. But God is God. He knows why she has this. He didn't do this to her. He allowed it. It doesn't seem fair or right. But we are human and things happen we can't explain or consider fair. We can only take this circumstance and use it for good. God is faithful. He will never leave us or forsake us. FOREVER GOD IS WITH US.

On another note, I've been having difficulty with work. Nothing I do seems to be okay. Someone is always trying to change things. But, especially this weekend, I had a reminder. I am living so others will see Christ. My life is suppose to point to Him. I know sometimes it doesn't. I get mad, caddy, full of frustration. But then the Holy Spirit quietly reminds me, I am here for Him. Not for me. I leave you today with lyrics from one of my favorite artists, Michael W. Smith. 

You be lifted high

You be lifted high

You be lifted high in my life oh God

And I fall to my knees

So it's you that they see not I

Jesus, you be lifted high
