For once I haven't been procrastinating.

I am almost finished with my paper (AND it's actually well-written!). My grades are kicking butt this semester, which is such a relief considering everything that has been going on. I actually managed to sleep in yesterday morning. I couldn't believe it! Tuesday I found out I had been walking around with strep for the past week. I don't even have tonsils anymore. So antibiotics are fun.

She moved for the first time later Thanksgiving Thursday. It is the most incredible feeling. I can't wait to meet her! She has the potential to do such great things. I can't wait to see what the Lord does for her through her walk with him. I have the responsibility to raise a child to love the Lord, and I pray I am able to do it well.

Church was great this morning. To be refueled with His spirit is needed by Sunday. I came across the song "What Do I Know of Holy" by Addison Road, which I have probably heard before, but actually LISTENED to for the first time yesterday. It's beautiful. The lyrics may not be completely accurate though.

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were might to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)

What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life it's name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?

Happy Thanksgiving at 6:22 AM

Never have I been a morning person; however, now I seem to not have a choice in the matter. I'm constantly waking up at 5AM and wrestle with myself to get back to sleep for about an hour. Then reality sets in that no such luck will be presenting itself, so I get out of bed. I suppose it will be getting much worse than this; maybe my body is simply preparing me. Funny how that works. The ultrasound concluded I'm carrying a little girl, but who knows. She could come out a boy; they make mistakes sometimes. She is a little Rocky Balboa, er should I say Laila Ali, in my uterus the way she kicks and punches around. I still haven't been able to feel it, but I could see her doing it on the screen. She's beautiful.

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already arrived. I hardly feel like we had Halloween. Christmas is less than a month away. I don't really want any gifts. I don't need anything, not yet.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. - Psalm 107:1
