Way too long!

Gee whiz-it's been way to long since I have posted. I guess work and being pregnant has caught up with me. Things with our little boy, Liam, look good. I actually have another doctor's appointment tomorrow along with an ultrasound. Looking forward to that. We are currently in the process of trying to get Liam's room in order. I'm hoping that the baby showers will bring in the much needed things that we will need! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Tonight I was able to take part in my first session with my new Beth Moore Study-Believing God. All I can say is Wow! It truly was amazing! At this point in my life, I'm really longing for depth-I have just felt so out of everything and my heart is just really longing for God and his work within my life. As I listened to Beth Moore, I couldn't help but miss ministry full-time. As many of you are aware, at one point prior to teaching, I worked in full-time ministry. While in Seminary I knew that God was calling me to full-time ministry and in turn, God allowed me to be a youth minister in both Texas and Miami. Well, as you already know, my heart was broken in Miami and in turn, I left church ministry.

Now, with all of that said, I have no doubt that God has currently called me to full-time Christian education. Not only do I take joy in what I do, but I truly feel that God is using me in some great ways. I will admit though, my heart loves the ministry aspect of speaking and encouraging people-something I used to do more of when I was in church ministry. As I watched Beth Moore, I was remembering this one church that once said I was the Beth Moore of my generation-um, I don't think so!!! But, I do long to not only draw closer to my God, but to also once again, be used by Him in ways that I thought would never happen.

I do hope this makes sense-pregnant brain has seemed to take over. Anyway, that's what's on my heart this evening. I think I'll just leave it at that!
