Purpose...

Purpose...

Blogger Points: Swaddled Up: 6 Days Old - Always take time to daydream about what you have accomplished. You can learn alot simply from observing your own life experiences. In most cases, you will see something you didn't before, thus allowing Wisdom to build inside yourself.  6-20-11



i read over my journal entries from this time in 2009 and last year in 2010.

6-2-2009:
(Laying in bed at home)
"God's GRACE - His unmerited favore, power to do and be what I was created to do and be. Ephesians 2:8-9"

6-13-10:
(Laying in the grass alongside Barton Springs Pool)
"Tho many folly in youthfulness and rate good/bad by it - they, too will face it's escape and die by the lack of it if not in it. I know who I am and whose I am. Thankful for Your protection, Father. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy - You come to bring everlasting life.  Life is beautiful - I am beautiful. I AM LIFE!"

6-10-11:
(Laying in Pre Antum room bed)
"Been admitted to hospital. Effaced at 50%. Braxton-Hicks are painful. I had a Dr's appt at 10am - seen at 10:50, admitted into St. David's at 12:30pm. The Braxtons are referred to as 'irritation' and can be measured by the monitor now. Nice room. Nurses cool. Was given an anti-anxiety med. About to take an Ambien for peaceful sleep. I'm actually quite tired and ready. Won't be home until after Vicki is born. God is Good. Amen. :-)"

from my journal recordings, during this season i am well aware of who I AM and what my PURPOSE is. i remind myself to stay focused and not let the things of this world distract me from those facts. in looking at the previous two years of what i was thinking, i know today, my purpose He had all planned out, included bringing forth life. whats really interesting is there were no other entries between the 2009 and 2010 dates. they were back to back entries almost to the date.

its good for me to look at my journals and note my mentality and accomplishments. i gain so much wisdom from recording my life cycles and revisiting them. i encourage you to do the same.

back on november 4, 2010...

me: (calls hubby) babes, i'm at HEB getting a pregnancy test. we missed our period last month.
him:  we did?
me:  well, i did. (giggle)
him:  okay. so, yeah, see what's up.
me:  i'll call you back when i get the results
him: okay.
me: love you
him: lubba dub
me: (giggle)

i purchase the HEB brand, single pack, pee on the stick. after comparing to the E.P.T. brand, its a matter of getting results. the HEB brand will do just fine. besides that, E.P.T. doesn't have a single pack, pee stick.

i get home, drink some water, take a shower, put some relaxing clothes on then pee on the stick. i place the stick face up on the side of the tub. the results should be evident in about 3 minutes, till then, i'll check my emails, update a few client's websites and set up those automated promo status updates i been meaning to do since last week.

after checking my emails, i checked the pee stick. it reads positive. well, i knew something was different. been craving that Golden Fried Chicken all week and Lord knows i don't eat fried fast food like that.

me: (calls hubby back)
him: so whats up?
me: its saying positive. we pregnant.
him: (giggles) ah, yeah?
me: (giggles) yep. (big cheesy grin)
him: i'll be home in a few hours.
me: okay, daddy. love you, babes.
him: hey, i love you, too.

babes get home, he saw the positive generic pee stick and insisted we go to HEB and get the name brand to make extra sure. its his first and my second in 25 years so i understood. we get the double pack E.P.T. brand. when we get back to the house i decide i'll take the test with my first morning urine for good measure.

the next morning...
me:  okay, its pee pee time
him: (gets out bed, walks to bathroom with me)
me: (looks at him while i pee on the stick)

stick says positive about 2 minutes later...
me: its positive, you're a daddy (big smile)
him: you sure those things are working?
me: well, hell, you bought the double pack. you wanna pee on the second stick?
(we both bust out laughing at the idea alone of him trying to get his first morning pee on that little, thin ass stick)

i gave him a kiss while we tried to keep his aim straight. we were still laughing. i went into the kitchen to drink some more water. i'll use the second stick on my next pee pee break. we both went to our office desks and started working. about 30 minutes or so later, i bring the second stick back to him; "positive".

we took the rest of the day off to just lay up and thank God for whatever He has in store for our future. i put the sticks in an air tight container for safe keeping. the suggestion that he pee on the stick still has us cracking up!
