I’m Blessed

It’s Monday, and has been a busy one at that!  This morning I had a midwife appointment, and I really didn’t think it wise to take the kids along this time, and I was blessed that Knut was able to stay home with the kids.  I was even more blessed that he was willing to get some school done with them this morning so I wouldn’t come home feeling behind.  Plus I think it’s good for him to get a hands on peek into our school day.  He always has some good suggestions, and some good sympathy coming my way.

I was so blessed to give my testimony at a Thanksgiving service last night at church.  I’m not that great at public speaking, but I practiced over and over again, and I think it actually went well this time!  I didn’t say “Um…” 50 times, so that was a relief.  It’s so neat to do a reflection on how God has, and continues to change and renew us…I was very blessed to go through the process of assembling and sharing my story.

Baby is looking good.  Having a healthy pregnancy is definitely a blessing!

I got a “free meal” coupon in the mail today from one of my friends in this cute card.  She told me to call her and enter code: SOONTOBEMOTHEROF5 and she’ll bring us supper if I’m feeling not quite up to cooking as we draw to the end of this pregnancy.  Friends are awesome.

I’ve been blessed with some good sleep…some of the time.  Pregnancy insomnia has kicked in, and I’ve had a few very late nights.  My mind just starts running around 11pm, and I have trouble turning it off.  Last night around 9:30 I told Knut I was feeling really tired.  He told me to go to bed quick before I got my usual second wind.  I’m glad I followed his advice, because I slept until 7:30 the next morning.  I was so in need of a night like that!

I’ll keep it short today, but I have some good posts and pictures planned for this week.  It’s getting tougher to get computer time to myself as Knut has been home more, and the older kids are doing more work on the computer.  I now have to stand in line for a turn, and usually get my turn at very weird times.  I’m very thankful that my pattern writing hobby has now paid for my very own laptop that I don’t have to share.  I ordered it online, so it should be here in a week or so.  I’m looking forward to working more efficiently, and whenever I have the time, not just whenever no one else wants it (which is never).  I’m so blessed to be getting one!

As always, please leave a comment and tell us all how God has blessed you this last week!  It’s good to share your story, and the grace given to each of us.
