Seven Weeks To Go!

Well, it's hard to believe that I am at 33 weeks and only have 7 more weeks to go until my scheduled due date. Where has the time gone? It seems as though it was just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant!

Anyway, I have had my two official showers and I must say, they were GREAT! Luke and I are truly blessed with friends and family who have provided many of the things we will be needing when little Liam arrives! One dear friend actually painted a mural in Liam's room and it looks FANTASTIC! As soon as we finish getting the room in order, I will definitely post pictures!

Other than the pregnancy, Luke and I are still trying to get through the dissertation. My goal for this weekend is to work on my proposal and to once again submit it, while also writing thank-you notes to those you attended my shower this past weekend. I'm determined to get these things done!

Another highlight in the life of the Bennett's is that we will be assisting a church, actually the church that our school is a ministry of, with youth ministry. They have a full-time youth minister and he has asked us to jump on board and help out with middle school ministry. Luke and I are looking forward to it! Not only is the youth minister fantastic, but they recently called a new pastor and he is WONDERFUL! So, we are excited about the doors that the Lord has recently opened up for us!

I'm currently in the process of making some minor changes to my coaching website. What I realized is that while I enjoy and felt led to focus on educational consultations, I also realized that I was missing out on coaching opportunities with women of all ages, in addition to speaking opportunities. So, my website has undergone some minor changes and my hope is to still get the word out about what I offer because the truth of the matter is, I love coaching and helping woman discover their unique purpose!

Ok, that should do it for now! I promise to try to stay in touch more often! :)
