This is so new and foreign to me that I am not sure where to start. First of all, as you can see from my photo taken almost 4 weeks ago, I am very, very, very pregnant and about to pop at any time....so as you can imagine the only thing I think about at every waking hour is how and when we will get to meet the new addition (some refer to as Gilgamesh) to our family. Therefore all of my thoughts and energy are focused on this little guy, as they should be, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
My husband, Dan, and I have been truly blessed throughout this pregnancy and are continuously amazed how God has provided for us emotionally, spiritually and financially. Never has there been a point in our lives when the rewards of tithing have been so evident. When we began to tithe about 4 years ago, we didn't realize how faithful God was going to be...not that we doubted, it is just that we couldn't have imagined how secure He could make us feel. One of my biggest fears of parenthood was that we wouldn't be able to provide financially for our children. Not only has God provided for us, but he has also allowed me to stay at home for at least 4-6 months with the baby, something I had only been able to dream of doing. God is good...All the time!! (Dan and I have said that alot lately:)
Didn't think I would be talking about that in my first blog, but it just came to me to write, so I wrote!!! Let's see what else is there to say: we have two cats (Toonses and Little Cat) and a dog (Buster). We have no idea how they will greet the new baby, but we can only pray that they completely ignore the little guy. I will keep you posted as that drama unfolds....and I am sure you will all wait with baited breath:)
Well I think that is all for now! The doctor told me last Thursday that he thought I would have this baby within the next week...somehow I think that is a cruel joke that all doctors play on pregnant women to give them hope to keep perservering through the toughest part of pregnancy. We will just have to be patient and wait and see. I am sure that "Gil" will make his appearance when he is good and ready:) I will do my best to keep everyone posted!!!

Great post! God is good ...ALL THE TIME! It's cool that you talked about tithing and blessing. The pastor spoke about that very thing this morning at church. I agree wholeheartedly God is faithful to His faithful.
Awaiting news on "Gilgamesh"...praying for his safe delivery
Thanks Kristin!! It has been a long time. I hope all is well with you!!
Our church spoke on tithing yesterday morning also. I felt like getting up and giving a testimony.
