I feel like I haven't been living victoriously in the last part of my pregnancy... I've been anxious, impatient,  selfish, and grumpy.  Instead of trusting God, I find myself questioning Him...  I'm sorry Lord for my attitude.  So many times I correct my daughters' attitudes when mine needs adjusting most.  I've been super impatient because I've been expecting Joshua for a couple of weeks now; probably because Claire came at 38 weeks and Audrey at 39, so I expected Joshua to come earlier.  Lord, I know You have great purposes in all that You do and don't do.  Please help me to trust You.  I'm sorry.

Thank you for all the blessings in my life.  Audrey and Claire make me so happy!  They are my sweet little girls and I know You love them even more!  Thank you for loving them and caring for them even more than I do.  I need all the help and guidance I can get Lord.  Show me how to lead them to You in all we do. 

Stephanie and Sarah came over for breakfast yesterday to celebrate Steph coming back from Iraq.  Jeff's sisters are so sweet.  Stephanie is thinking about applying to the Sheriff's department this month.  I think that would be awesome!  I'm so glad she's back home safe and sound...

Lord, I also pray that You keep me safe and sound during childbirth.  Heather, in small group, shared this verse from 1st Timothy 2:15 with me.  "Neverthless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control."  "She will be saved" is translated from the greek "kept safe and sound."  I never understood that verse and always took it the wrong way.   I'm so glad Heather shared her wisdom with me.  Lord, help me to be content in You laying my anxiety down at the foot of the cross.  You are in control.  You are good.
