Not going to lock the door

I am continually amazed at our Lord Jesus. Seriously. I have been listening to Brandon Heath today and I love these words from his song "Trust You".

" Not going to fight you anymore/ I'm not going to try to lock the door/ You took your life and gave me yours/There's no reason why I shouldn't trust you with mine."

Wow. Sometimes you don't think about it like that! All we think about is how hard it is for us humans to give up what we think is important to us, but in the grand scheme of things..they are pretty meaningless. Jesus said that it would be hard for us to surrender EVERYTHING to Him. But why wouldn't we? Why lock the door when we can open it for Him and have a life we never thought we could have? Why settle for ordinary when we can have EXTRAORDINARY?

God has proven to me over and over that He Loves me so much and that he's not finished me yet! He has great plans for me, I just know it!




On a side note...Friday we find out the sex of the baby! And the baby has begun kicking this week! =)

Quick Update

Things are good with us. Life always brings challanges, but we're learning through them. My uncle, Bob Kring, who has been battling brain cancer for 2 years passed away the Friday after thanksgiving. The funeral was last week and although it was sad for us here on earth, it was so amazing to see how loved and adored my uncle was. Throughout his entire life, he wanted his life to bring God glory, and he truly did.

This semester is done for me (pretty much). I have just one online quiz tomorrow to take from home and then I'm officially done with school until January 5. I am very much looking forward to this break. Allen also has only 1 1/2 left of school until his break begins. We are thankful because he has a strong possiblity of a second job, which will help us. After he's done teaching this school year, many changes may take place, but we're trusting in God. We'll let you know what happens...because we're not even 100% sure yet either!

Being pregnant has been ok. I've gotten sick again with a nasty cold that causes me to "get sick" (shall i say). I really don't want to have to go through all of that again, so hopefully I'll get better quickly! Other than that, things have been fine. It is quite different and weird to be going through these changes for the first time. I'm not quite used to them and at times, it is frustrating..especially when trying to sleep! We're just living and learning! Janurary 2 we find out the sex of the baby...so stay tuned!

Ok, I guess that's it! We continually need prayer..so please keep us in yours! Thanks!
