Did you miss me?

Well, I'm still here. Pregnant and alive somewhere amid the piles of boxes and junk that we call our stuff. We just got our cable and internet hooked up today. It was a nice break from "real" TV and the internet. But I'm glad to be back to 2010.

No baby yet. As of this morning at my Doctor's appointment, I was dilated 2-3 cm and effaced NONE. Yes, NONE. I love my cervix.

We are officially moved out of the "old" house and into the "new" house, which we are renting. However, we have NOT closed on the old house and hope that it happens sometime this week.

Otherwise, we are just doing life as normal. Well, as normal as life gets with 5 children aged 5.5 years and younger, with #6 due any moment now.

You know, normal, simple life. How are all of YOU? Chances are I won't have the time to read and catch up on your blogs. But I've missed you all and reading about your lives.

Hopefully, I'll be posting soon about the new baby. Don't hold your breath though. I know I'm not. I'd love to blog more but people are waking up from naps and requiring my attention. I hope to post quite a few things about the ways that God has blessed us in the last few weeks.

Some of them, actually most of them, are mind boggling. I can't wait to tell you all about it.

Overwhelmed

Today was moving day for us. And I as I sit here now, after an exhausting day, I just can't stop the tears. Not because of the reality of the house we will soon call home. Not because we are moving. Not even because we are leaving a place where treasured memories were made.

All I can do now is cry huge, wet tears. I am just overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with the way that our friends loved us today.

I am beyond humbled. I don't know that in a thousand years I could ever be able to express just how blessed I felt today. As I stood today, surrounded by people who love us, people who care deeply for our family, it became a reality just how much God has provided for us.

And for the first time in a very long time, I'm speechless. I'm overpowered by the thoughts of how these people served and ministered to us today. And I know, without hesitation, that I saw the very face of God today in 18 different people. Ordinary people who chose to be His hands and feet.

And it's because of His love today that I am overwhelmed tonight.
