And it'll be your new baby's very first home. That's going to be a very big deal, indeed.tinsenpuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955496156384131307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-43547528408523379372009-02-09T11:52:00.000+10:002009-02-09T11:52:00.000+10:00Look at all of the caring women who are looking ou...Look at all of the caring women who are looking out for you in so many ways, including prayer. Aside from the strength God can provide for you, take heart knowing that there are so many others sending you the most positive of thoughts and wishes. <BR/><BR/>Crying is a good thing, if it can help you feel the release you need. You're also probably feeling those extra special hormones reserved for pregnant mommies.

There is (thankfully) very little chance that I'll ever end up topless at a huge ecumenical church gathering in Toowoomba.<BR/><BR/>Cry if you need to. Cry if you want to. Pray if you can, and know that even if you can't there are some people praying on your behalf (and one of them is Jesus). Still have my criteria for a house for the de Elbas in green on my white board in my office. I've added "That you both love".Hippomanic Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285378246081322317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-32906354673403801222009-02-08T17:18:00.000+10:002009-02-08T17:18:00.000+10:00If crying is what you need right now then go for i...If crying is what you need right now then go for it. I'm very glad you're feeling better about prayer and able to bring things to God. He is awesomely powerful and can be trusted absolutely with all the details of your move... He also loves you more than you can imagine and totally gets where you're at when you're anxious, stressed, freaked out and worried. <BR/><BR/>And in other news (okay, not really)... talking with someone... like, maybe a counsellor... might be a good thing. Yes, I know, I'm a nag and you are entirely welcome to tell me to shut up and mind my own business. I just think it might help the anxiety to be less of a burden for you. It won't make everything rosy all of a sudden but it might make things a little easier inside your head. Anxiety can be so tremendously crippling; chatting with someone can really help. (Of course you may already be doing this and just haven't blogged about it... in which case, again, tell me to shut up and mind my own business!)<BR/><BR/>Praying for you, my bloggy friend. xxFeminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165898043661304241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-61757314901675744492009-02-08T15:47:00.000+10:002009-02-08T15:47:00.000+10:00I know that things are uncertain.

And what about having two houses, two payments. Our house went on the market in June 2008 and by the grace of a merciful God, that house sold on Dec. 4, 2008. We did not get as much as we wanted for it, however, it paid off the mortgage and allowed us to be credit card debt free for the first time in our marriage. I can tell you for sure that house sold because of prayer. I believe that with every fiber of my being. So just keep on praying for God's will. I am worried about my friend "down under" I saw the fires on the evening news and immediately thought about you all. Please be safe.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752658464447522549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-54376375888079063882009-02-08T15:10:00.000+10:002009-02-08T15:10:00.000+10:00We moms are nesters--pregnancy increases it expone...We moms are nesters--pregnancy increases it exponentially, I swear.
