Judge not, lest ye be judged..
I know it's late (early?) but I feel very compelled to write about this. I took a break from reading my bible, but picked it back up again tonight. I'm currently reading the book of Luke, and in chapter 21 (under 'Signs of the End of Age') it speaks about the signs of the rapture. Specifically from verse 10 and on. I just want to point out Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."
How many people just died in that earthquake in China? How many people are starving throughout the world? The rapture is coming, and while I am so looking forward to meeting my Lord and Savior (though I will never be good enough to earn the honor, I will have done what He asked and receive it anyway) I am also frightened. I am not worthy to meet Him, and I will never even come close to being worthy. I also want the chance to live my life, to raise my son, to receive a college degree, to be fruitful and multiply with as many kids as He would bless me with. I am so scared and excited at the same time. I pray that His will be done, but I would also love the opportunity to see my child(ren) choose to follow Him and worship Him also.
I also want to say how much I love my church. It is so wonderful and I am terribly blessed to have found it.
Speaking of my son, I also have to say, I came into my bedroom tonight, as he had woken up at about 1am for his middle-of-the-night feeding, and I am so proud, he rolled himself over! I AM SO PROUD! He rolled from his tummy to his back, and while that isn't as hard as rolling from his back to his tummy, I am extremely proud of him! He's such a big boy! Nearly 3 months old! Where does the time go?

Happy Belated Mother's Day!
Where to start.
Well, we had been getting smiles from Baby J for a week or two before those pictures, but we hadn't been able to capture them on camera. He has been smiling even more lately, and especially so if he sees me or Ryan and he hasn't seen us for awhile (when I get up with him in the morning, or when Ryan gets home from work). He's 10 weeks old today and I just can't believe it. He is so adorable and handsome and he looks more like a person every day!
He was dedicated at our church this Sunday, the 11th, on Mother's Day. He was so adorable and cute and I'm so happy that I found this church. For the first time in my life I actually look forward to going to church, and instead of looking forward to singing (don't get me wrong - that part is fine too) like I used to, I look forward to the sermon!
I'm really considering attending bible study after the sermon, but not quite yet. Ryan still doesn't (most of the time can't due to work) go to church with me, so that would mean leaving him in the nursery while I attended bible study and I'm not ready for that yet. (Yes yes, I'm a clingy Mommy).
Here he is in his adorable Dedication outfit, and I'm not sure if you can see it or not, but he also has a little bow-tie on (it came with the outfit). Isn't he adorable?!
So, Sunday was Mother's Day and I had a great one. Everyone wished me happy Mother's Day, I went to church, and Ryan got me a card! Two cards actually! In the 6 years we have been together he has never gotten me a card before, and I got TWO on Mother's Day! One from him, and one from Baby J. I also got a dozen white roses from him (my favorite kind).
I guess this is it for now. I'm planning on taking tow summer classes -one management and one accounting, and when I'm done with those I will have my Associates in Management degree. I plan to take the last 4 classes I need in the fall, and then I will have my Associates in Arts degree. This seems to be taking forever yet getting here so fast! Pray I do well in accounting (I suck at math and interest and percentages and all that stuff).
Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!
