Wednesday's Weekly Wonders

This week I am thankful for:

-For my VERY wonderful and gracious Ma and Pa. For my Mom giving up lots of her time, to come keep me company in Texas and hopefully (soon) await the arrival of baby H. It's such a blessing to have company during the day and someone to help keep me motivated to continue exercising these last couple weeks of pregnancy. I can't forget to mention that my Pa has been equally gracious to let me 'borrow' Ma for this time, as he finishes up his last stretch of work before retirement-Thank you!

-For God's provision. In these hard economic times I'm reminded again and again that God has been SO GOOD to us. I am so thankful that He has provided for graciously and abundantly. We are truly VERY blessed!!

My mom and I went to get groceries, on the way we saw a man standing by the side of the road with a sign that read: "will work for food." It really broke my heart, we got some extra groceries and tried to find him afterward, but to no avail. So I ask that you would join me, as we lift him up in prayer. I decided I'll take that bag of groceries with us on Friday when we go to the doctor and see if he is still there or if we find someone...

-For my AWESOME HUSBAND!-I am so thankful for J, this past semester has really been a crazy, busy and exhausting one with school, research, papers, teaching, contract work and proposals. He has been working insanely hard since then and has not really had much of a break since January. Even now, during the summer, he has been doing his internship and then coming home to work on contract work and now conference paper editing and submissions and soon he has to start work on his prelim preparations.

I just want to say how PROUD I am of him and how much I admire his hardworking attitude and perseverance. Please join me as we lift him up in prayer, that God will continue to guide, bless and give him wisdom for his upcoming PhD prelim exam, as well as his current internship and work on fine tuning his two conference papers.

This weeks pregnancy summary will be posted on Friday, so that I can wait 'till after my ultrasound to give a better update!
