Michael Jackson's Real Cause of Death

I thought this video is definitely worth sharing. It explains something so important about life in such a clear and simple manner. It's a truth everybody should know!

I have a new blog!

My new blog has been up for a few days but I hadn't made it public yet because it was so bare-bones! But I knew that if I hadn't spruced it up in 3 days, chances are I wouldn't. So here it is and hopefully I'll continue to work on it!

New Role, Same Purpose

In the month of September, Will and I found out that we're going to be parents in May 2010! We're past the stage of absolute shock and the feeling that its "not real". How can it not be real after you watch your baby's heart beating on a little ultrasound screen and walk out clutching the "first photograph"? And how can something so incredible not always be on our minds, drawing out a smile in the middle of a regular day?

What has been hard though is to not let it be all-consuming. I am realizing that my purpose is not to be a good wife or a good mother, a stay-at-home mother, a work-from-home mother, a working mother, a housewife or any of these labels that the world likes to attach to me. My purpose in life is to worship my Creator and bring Him glory. To have my mind renewed and transformed constantly so that ONE day, it will look like the mind of Christ. Everything else is just a part of the journey. Something for God to use to get me to that goal. I'm praying that I do not get so fixated on my upcoming role as a parent that I lose my time and conversations with God, something that would actually help me someday in that role.

I would love to blog about my pregnancy. But out of respect for any of my readers that do not want to be subject to an aerial view of my feet or a play by play of morning sickness, I will do so on a new blog. For those who want such entertaining information, stay tuned for a new blog announcement ;-)
