Continual surrendering

Well, in general update with our lives, I am doing great in school. I'm getting really good grades, although I am ready for Christmas break. A chance to rest both my body and brain! I only have two weeks left, so sometimes it is hard to continue studying hard when I know the time left is so short! Pregnancy wise, I am doing much better. It was rough for me the past month and a half or so, but the help of modern medicine, I've been doing much better. I'm starting to feel better and regain some energy, which is nice. Allen is still teaching and doing well with that. He has a short break from soccer until after christmas, although he has picked up helping coaching basketball. So he's always busy!

I have been struggling lately with completely surrending control. (I know, big surprise!) There are some areas in our lives right now that are so unknown and up in the air that it scares me a lot. There isn't a lot that can be done now so I have been been trying to lean wholly on God and again releasing my tight grip on my life. I think it is the first born in me...always trying to be perfect, always trying to please everyone, AND always wanting to control everything in my life. I know that somehow life will work itself out and everything will be ok in the long run; however, if you think about us, please pray for us. (or rather me..that I won't go insane trying to control the uncontrollable!) Anyways. We love Jesus, love each other, and looking forward to loving our little one. God is blessing us in many ways and I just need to remember that amist the bad/stress-causing issues in our lives.

All in all, we're doing well and taking one step at a time! I guess that is all we can do right? God only gives us light to see what's at our feet, not the whole path!
