Updates

Well, Lee Ann is simply craving more of my wonderful blog, so I thought I'd better post before I get in trouble! There's not really that much going on right now. I'm getting more pregnant by the day. I've started experiencing a little swelling now. Which is not very fun. I am now 26 weeks and 2 days. The third trimester is coming up quick! At our church we have 5 women that are all pregnant. Well, now we have 4. One delivered on Wednesday! And that means that I am next in line! Shaun, Russ (our pastor), and I went to the hospital to see the family and we got to see the baby right as they were bringing him in for the first time (after all the clean-up and everything). He is sooooo cute! His name is Hayden Luke and he weighed 8 lbs 12 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. It was just so touching to get to share that moment! However, it also hit me like a ton of bricks that my time's a comin'! It made it seem so much more real. It's kinda scary, but I'm so excited, too.
I do have an update on the student ministry. We had our first Wednesday night worship time this past Wednesday. It went pretty well. Also, I think we were able to bond with a guy that is about to be a senior. His mom has been pretty worried about him because he wasn't wanting to come to church. She said that he has been very excited about the student ministry and has talked more about church than he has in a while. We really need your prayers on this whole thing. Student ministry is really a full time position in itself and Shaun has so many other duties, including the whole music ministry. There's no way that we can be what we need to be to those students without God's help so please remember us! Also, a small worry that I have right now is what my role is going to be once I have the baby. Shaun and I have always worked as a team and with a new baby it might be harder for me to help him for a while. I'm just speaking from observation. It seems like most new moms kinda fade into the background for a little while. And if the baby comes when he's supposed to, it will be right when school has just started back, which is usually a crucial time in student ministry. Plus, that will also be when we kick off practice for our Christmas drama. Ok, maybe my "small worry" is a lot bigger than what I thought. Just pray that I will be able to give my worries to the Lord.
Well, I guess I had more to say than I thought! Thanks for your patience and friendship!
