Fall is in full swing and I am loving every minute of it. The cool, crisp air is perfect for long walks, baking cutout pumpkin cookies with the husband, corn mazes,hot soup, apple fritters, Fall Festival, hiking, long naps on Sunday afternoon, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread, apple picking, and apple cider. All of the things I have already had the pleasure of enjoying this Fall. Still waiting for bonfires, camping trips, passing out candy to trick-or-treaters, class field trip to Goebel farms, and baking homemade apple dumplings. Notice how many of my favorite Fall things this year involve food?
I am now 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and it has been a quick, mostly painless, and joy-filled filled ride so far. Although, I am quite the worrier, as always, and I find myself worrying now more than ever. When these worries creep into my mind, I try to think of the words that God has given me...and then for a brief moment, I wonder, why did I ever worry in the first place? Everything is in his hands and his plan is the perfect this. I know this. Just have to be reminded, again, and again, and again....
-Phillipians 4:6-7- Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, present your requests to the Lord with thanksgiving, and his peace which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
-Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
-Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
In other baby news, next week we will possibly find out the gender of our little one. I say possible, because it may still be too early..... Will it be a girl (Eden) or a boy (Hayden.) I am not sure, but cannot wait to find out. God has blessed us so much, and I am so thankful for all that he is doing in our lives right now.
Hope you are all enjoying this season as much as I am!
