We Interrupt this Love Story

Welcome back!
Sorry folks, I decided to make you wait another day for the rest of the story. I just had to update you on life as I know it now. As of today, Sunday, May 25, I have 49 days until the baby comes and 25 days until I attend the She Speaks Conference.
Now, for many mommas out there and cautious ladies you all are gasping saying, “You’re going to fly several states away and attend a speaker’s conference with only 4 weeks left in your pregnancy.” and to you I answer, “Yes, ma’am.” This is as close to “living on the edge” as this momma has ever gotten. I have always lived a very sheltered, cautious life. So, this is my “adventurous” side.
Also, it is so me to be busy and involved even with baby number 3 on the way. This baby has to be initiated into my family just like my other two were. With my son I was attending seminary and was working as a youth/children’s minister part time. We joke he already has a seminary education because he was in my belly when I attended several classes in my first semester of Seminary.
Then with Lily, I was still attending some seminary classes, but I was also still doing youth/children’s ministry, and I had begun my ministry to girl’s Beauty by Design Ministries and therefore was doing some speaking on the weekends as well.
So, now that I’m not in Seminary or in youth/children’s ministry this child has to have something so hey he has a momma that is juggling ministry, his siblings and flying two states away to attend a speaker’s conference 25 days before he’s due.
So, call me crazy, but I believe that this is a God thing completely put together by him months ago, so I trust that He has a plan and is taking care of this momma. Now, check back tomorrow for the rest of “My Little Love Story”. If you haven’t been reading it you can find the first post here.







Amen, sister, you have to do what you have to do!! If you feel and your doctors feel that you will be safe to fly then do it:) Can’t wait for your love story to continue….
