Good morning everyone! I hope that life has been treating everyone well as we hop into spring season, with flowers finally starting to bloom and the sun starting to shine. This is one of my favorite times of the year, because life always seems so full and rich as color springs back into the trees and warmth fills the air, and the smiles of those around me as we sneak out of winter's bind.
This morning I just feel so incredibly blessed. I am now almost 35 weeks along in my pregnancy, and although the discomforts of carrying a child inside of me are starting to brew, I also feel the heightened sense of what is to come in the next few weeks. I have an opportunity to become a mother. What a beautiful thing! And sure I seem to bounce back and forth from excitement to overwhelming fear, but at the same time, there is an extreme peace setting in my soul about the purpose I am to hold and fill on this earth. I know I will hold many roles as I continue on in this journey of life, but being one of a mother is one I have always wanted and I feel so blessed to be able to experience in the upcoming weeks. I also continue to pray in this time for the many women out there who have not been blessed with this season of their lives yet, or possibly ever. I know that each and every one of them are such amazing, strong people, and that God is flourishing in other aspects of their lives. So despite the joy that is pumping through my veins, I never want to forget the suffering and hardship of those around me. Life is a funny thing, there is so much beauty and yet so much loss intertwined together. I know that is why we need each other to help support, love and show compassion to those in the struggle, while others are in the beauty. I hope that everyone is able to see a little bit of beauty in their lives today!
Below are some pics from my maternity pics that my wonderful husband Josh and I did!
