A lot has changed since my last post. I am finally a mommy! Baby Abbott arrived two weeks ago and our life has completely changed...for the better!
These past two weeks have been eye opening! I have finally realized what it means to be selfless and to pray without ceasing. I find myself praying every free chance I get. I don't pray for myself, I pray for my baby. I pray for the present as well as his future.
We have also started praying as a family of three. Before baby, my husband and I prayed together at night. Now, all of us pray together. It may seen nuts to you, but we want our baby to grow up in a praying home. The only way to truly teach him the importance of prayer is for him to see and hear his mommy and daddy pray.

Life is quickly changing
On November 9, 2012 my life as I knew it had instantly changed for the better. That was the day I found out that I was pregnant with our sweet baby boy. I have never been both so excited and so afraid all at once. I couldn't help but think, "Am I really ready for this huge responsibility?"
I have done a lot of praying since I found out I was pregnant. It's extremely scary to be responsible for another human, physically and most importantly spiritually. I have prayed over and over," God, please help me to be a great mom. Help me to lead my child down the path of truth and righteousness. I pray that he will not turn away from that path and that he will always be faithful."
As the weeks have gone by I have realized the only way to truly teach my child how to live faithfully is to show him through my own life. I have to stop being lazy and start getting busy for the kingdom. I never want my child to think that being a Christian means to "sit and retain the right answers." It's about getting up, doing, and sharing the word with others!
So as my journey continues, I ask that you would pray for me as I become a mommy. Pray that I am able to teach my child the way that he should go and that I am able to show him how to live by the way that I live.
