It's Gonna Be a Pink Christmas

Dear Kenzie Love,

Yesterday was a BIG day little girl. Around 3:30 me, dad, and both your grandma's made our way into the ultrasound room. I sat there as the ultrasound tech got the dvd ready and my belly. I had never been so anxious in my entire life! She measured all of your body parts from head to toe and said that everything was looking GREAT! Then she slowly scanned down to your thighs and before she even told us your dad already knew that you were a GIRL! She told us just a couple seconds after and grandma says she looked at me and I had a HUGE smile on my face! I was thanking God for you. After the ultrasound ended we made a shopping trip to Balboa Island. I think you might like the color pink when you grow up. I love pink, but who knows maybe you will like purple, or yellow. You can like whatever you want to like. I can't wait to see your face. I can't wait for you to finally be here. Your going to look like an angel...I know it. This life is a little scary, but you only need to remember that God is in control and that you have two parents who love you and will protect until the ends of the earth. As well as four grandparents who would do the same. And lots of aunts and uncles who are going to love on you  SOOO much! You are going to be the apple of everyone's eye! Your dad and I are going to try and give you the world little girl. I hope we fulfill all your dreams and I know that someday you will rock this world! By the way, your going to have the best dad any girl could ever ask for. He is going to protect you and love you, and probably teach you how to surf. My heart is so full right now I can't stop thinking about you. I think about you every second of the day. I give thanks every other second. I love you baby girl, love your momma

Psalm 92

What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks,
to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
To announce your love each daybreak,
sing your faithful presence all through the night,
Accompanied by dulcimer and harp,
the full-bodied music of strings.

You made me so happy, God.
I saw your work and I shouted for joy.
How magnificent your work, God!
How profound your thoughts!!


Amen!

12 AM and Still Awake

Three in the morning, 
And I'm still awake, 
So I picked up a pen and a page, 
And I started writing, 
Just what I'd say, 
If we were face to face, 
I'd tell you just what you mean to me, 
I'd tell you these simple truths, 

Be strong in the LORD and, 
Never give up hope, 
You're going to do great things, 
I already know, 
God's got His hand on you so, 
Don't live life in fear, 
Forgive and forget, 
But don't forget why you're here, 
Take your time and pray, 
These are the words I would say.


This is exactly what I am thinking about right now directed towards my sweet, strong baby. I love you, Mom.

Preparing for a change

Change is interesting thing...it brings about so many emotions, but in the end everything always seems to be better. Crazy how God always has Good in store for his children. As we finish out this week, hubby and I find ourselves preparing for lots of changes....I sit in amazement dreaming about what will become of our lives. I only imagine that love will multiply, relationships will strengthen, energy will grow, and God's faithfulness will be more present than ever before. Sometimes we get so comfortable with the idea that life is supposed to be one way, when really God has different plans...better plans. And we are called to pick up our cross and follow Him. And so me and my hubby will do just that. Follow the One who guides us and loves us unconditionally. Thanking Him every step of the way for being the center of our lives and loving us. Thank you Lord!

To my baby: Never be afraid of change. As Christians, we should be ever evolving in Him. Growing in our relationship with our Creator. Growing in our maturity. Growing in our relationships with others. Change will always continue in our lives, and we should not be afraid. Even if at times we don't understand we have the knowledge and wisdom of our Lord who "provides us with a peace that surpasses all understanding." Remember to always accept change with a smile on your face knowing that He has something great planned for you! I know this because you are His child. We love you forever...that is the one thing that won't change.

Love,
Mom and Dad

Work, work, work all day long!

So I find myself sitting here thinking about all the blessings the Lord has given me in the last year. I can hardly believe that my life is where it is today. Today I went out and worked REALLY hard to further expand my brand new business. See, a couple of months ago I started a business in hopes that it would take off and I would get to work from home for myself! The idea for The Christian Nanny Source was definitely one of those blessings from God. It's funny how He just drops things in your lap and asks you to follow His lead. It's fun and exciting every step of the way. I went out and passed out advertisements in Newport Beach and then stopped by two awesome baby stores in Costa Mesa. To my utter surprise, both stores were SUPER excited to receive my business ads and said they would be more than willing to pass them out. GOD IS SO GOOD! I had envisioned them saying politely, "No thanks, we see this kind of thing once a week." But, it was the complete opposite! I walked away from the stores smiling from ear to ear, excited to see what God has in store for this business! If only I could make enough to stay home with my baby, what a huge blessing that would be. "For all things are possible through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 Can't wait to see where this journey takes us as a family!!

Love and excitement,
Momma K
