Ok, I'm back now..maybe. I feel the urge more to blog lately. There definately is a lot to share.
I am 5 months along now, and coping well. God has been the key to my acceptance of a lot of things (of how I am) internally and my situation and the faith that comes along with knowing God intends best for me as well.

Believing in God's goodness through trials
Excerpt from Your Best Life Now for Moms
By: Joel Osteen (View Profile)
Change Your Mind and Expand Your World
WE SERVE THE GOD WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE . . . and motherhood. Never settle for a small view of God. He wants to do big things and new things in our lives. God wants us to be constantly increasing, to be rising to new heights. He wants to equip you for the vast responsibilities that motherhood entails. He wants to increase you in wisdom and help you make better decisions. He wants to pour out, “His far and beyond favor” on you and your children (Ephesians 2:7).
But do you believe it? Or are you focused on your mothering failures and flaws and feelings of being overwhelmed and never being a good enough mom? Is your own wrong thinking keeping you from God’s best?
It’s time to enlarge your vision. To live your best life now, you must start looking at life through eyes of faith, visualizing the life you want to live. See your family prospering. See your children growing in the faith. See your marriage restored. You must conceive it and believe it is possible if you ever hope to experience it.
To conceive it, you must have an image on the inside of the life you want to live on the outside. This image has to become a part of you, in your thoughts, your conversations, deep down in your subconscious mind, in your actions, in every part of your being. If you develop an image of victory, success, health, abundance, joy, peace, and happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you.
“See,” God says, “I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19). Perhaps God is asking you this question today. “Don’t you see what I want to do, and are you making room for it in your thinking?”
The truth is, if you will get in agreement with God, this can be the greatest time of your life. With God on your side, you cannot possibly lose. He can make a way when it looks as though there is no way. He can open doors that no man can shut. He can cause you to be at the right place, at the right time. He can supernaturally turn your life around.
Get rid of small-minded thinking and start thinking as God thinks. Think big. Think increase. Think abundance. Think more than enough for you and your children!
Consider God’s Word in the Light of Motherhood
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Hebrews 13:5-6 (New International Version)
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."[a] 6 So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"[b]

Rejoice to sing for Him
She will not be moved, she will not be moved
She has the One who loves her
The One risen
Who died on the cross for her
She will not rest for Zion's sake, until righteousness reigns
And when she heard that day she knew:
Sing, Zion!
Freedom came better than clay
Clay so hollow and deceitful
I will rise
out of this divine discontent
Our glory is the next life not this
Contend? But my life is only as a moth-eaten rag
compared to the glory and light of the King
coming to reign!
In the upcoming battle, I shall sing
And there will be rejoicing with the redeemed.
Open arms
I will rest until I see my bridegroom Jesus Christ eternally.
She has the One who loves her
The One risen
Who died on the cross for her
She will not rest for Zion's sake, until righteousness reigns
And when she heard that day she knew:
Sing, Zion!
Freedom came better than clay
Clay so hollow and deceitful
I will rise
out of this divine discontent
Our glory is the next life not this
Contend? But my life is only as a moth-eaten rag
compared to the glory and light of the King
coming to reign!
In the upcoming battle, I shall sing
And there will be rejoicing with the redeemed.
Open arms
I will rest until I see my bridegroom Jesus Christ eternally.
Leann Rimes - The Rose Lyrics
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
That cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
when the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
That cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
when the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.

Sinead O'Connor - Dark Am I Yet Lovely (live)
I have a dream of vocalising Song of Solomon. This was before I came back from IHOP. I was just surfing youtube and was excited to see this from Sinead O Conner. I had no idea she's Christian?!?
