Time for a change

I decided last night, after a lot of tears from a very hard day, that I no longer needed my facebook or myspace. So if any of you were my friends on either of those, sorry for no notice. I realized yesterday that I have a lot of areas I need to grow in, and both of those were occupying so much of my time and attention that I couldn't do it anymore...I also got way too involved in reading into things that I shouldn't. So, that being said, maybe I'll be better at blogging these days. That's not to say that I'll blog 5 times a day, but yeah...maybe I won't get fussed at much more for how bad I suck I updating!! So...let me TELL you about yesterday!

As you all know, I'm pregnant, that means I cry, a lot. I think that, because I was emotional prepregnancy, I'm ultraemotional during pregnancy! Anyhow, I just got so discouraged yesterday that it had me really down. When Derek and I went to Target to do our 3rd baby registry I was starting to feel better. And that's when the blessings started! As we were scanning on the second aisle, a lady joins us there and asks if we know what we're having. I smiled and told her it was a boy and she congratulated us and continued down the aisle. A minute or 2 later, before we moved on, she turned back to us and says "You know, I don't know if you guys are interested, but I have a little boy, he's 1 and has already outgrown all of his baby things. I was going to load it all up and give it to charity, but if you'd be interested, you could come look at it and take what you'd like! I've got a swing, a bumbo seat, bouncies, those types of things!" I almost burst into tears at that point, but instead I looked at Derek and, beaming, he said "absolutely!". She gave us her phone number, and after I finish up here I'll call her, hopefully on Thursday we'll go down and load up our car full of baby stuff...one time use, and boy themed! I told her how much of a blessing she was, and I don't think she understands. We needed that last night! I needed that...so much! What a blessing to know that there are people in this world that still reach out. I just hope that there is some way that we can bless this family in return!

Anyhow, something else awesome happened before bed! I wasn't going to go to DC with Derek next week because we couldn't afford it. Normally I wouldn't be so sad, except for the fact that going to DC means that we get to see friends that we haven't seen since July! But after talking to Derek, and Jon and Jill, we decided that we can swing it this time. I think it's going to be very important for me to be there with him. I'm so excited about the chance to be a close support and to be waiting for him when he finds out his fate! :) Also, I get to hang out with Jon, Jill, Kaitlyn, and Miles!!! Be jealous! lol

So, all this to say, thank you God. You are indeed the giver of good things. Whether we deserve them or not...usually not, you are our Father, and you delight in us. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself, and taking care of me in a way that no one ever could!!!
