musings and news from church ministry on Long Island - the edge of New York City.
As I set up to type this week’s post I realized I made a mistake. This post was supposed to be “week 19″ but it came late and tomorrow I’ll officially be 20 weeks which means I should be telling people I’m in my 21st week…I think between Sam’s busy schedule, trying to figure out [...]
18. Whole weeks. Belly grows. Clothes grow…snug. The appetite grows. I’m thankful that the baby keeps growing – According to thebump.com, Butter is now the size of a sweet potato. And as the reality of being a parent grows – prayers grow longer. A line from a conversation with a friend immediately following church on [...]
I am really loving being pregnant during Christmas time. It has me thinking more and more about the Christmas story and I feel like the Holy Spirit is showing me things that I never really thought about…and I am loving it. My prayer this week for Baby Sutter comes from a song that is not [...]
Yesterday Sam and I went to our 16 week appointment with our OB. It was one of the quickest trips to that office – pretty much just a weigh in and belly check. We did get to listen to little Butter’s heartbeat which was beating at a healthy rate. On our way out I made [...]
15 whole weeks-that means in 5 weeks, I’ll be halfway through this pregnancy, and in 1 week – I’ll have my 16 week appointment with my OB–shouldn’t be too exciting, just a weigh-in, but I’m hoping I’ll convince the kind doctor to do another sonogram. I am still feeling great, and am so thankful. Tonight [...]
Are you ever surprised at how quickly your original plans get bumped out of your priorities- this post was supposed to come on Monday, but we’ve had somewhat of a full week, celebrating friends’ birthdays and upcoming weddings, catching up with other friends we haven’t seen in a while… So, I give you week 14 [...]
The biggest news around here -Sam shot one past the goalie and I’ve got a little bump to prove it. It still doesn’t feel real, but on May 6th Baby Sutter–or “Butter” for short–is due to arrive. I had all these grand plans for for all these posts, but the first trimester was pretty rough. [...]
It is rarely good when you’re awake to see today turn into tomorrow. But often in those late night hours God does a doing on my soul that — albeit painful to arrive at — I am grateful it was done. And this weekend I needed the reminder that death’s sting hurts because my heart [...]
…that did it for me. If you were to open up my high school year book, in my senior blurb under “likes” is listed small details that make a big difference. Not much has changed since then. I still find myself reveling in the seemingly smallest of small blessings that to me are the biggest [...]
I could bathe in self pity. Ever ended your day wanting to do just that? Enter the Gospel of Mark, chapter 3. Meet my friend Jesus. Watch my ‘woe is me’ attitude dissipate–at least until the next time I set out to march into the “depths of despair.” It all starts out nice and all, [...]
