I am done with my DOGAC paper. Praise God. One more paper to go (OT Theology) - and I won't be writing anymore academic papers for a while. Hopefully, not too long a while!
We are still on that blessed and God-graced journey of expecting a sweet and cuddly little princess sent from Heaven.
Yes, it is a girl. We have known about this since the 18th week ultrasound scan (and God revealed it to my hubby even before I got pregnant this round) - but I thought I would only blog about it a little later, after yesterday's scan confirmed that the baby is a her.
She is doing fine in that growing bump that I can never resist touching (and prodding) when I wake up in the mornings. She is such a wonder and joy to have in me. Her daddy and mummy are proud of her. She makes us smile and laugh everyday - and from being her mom, I understand more, God's parent heart for His children. How He must rejoice, when we respond to His voice and words... when we grow more and more in His image. How He must anticipate each human person's first utterance of "Father" and "Lord". I believe that our little one's Creator - God - smiles and laughs with us. We pray that she would be an instrument of God's love and peace to others as she has been to us.
Well, then... it is New Year's Eve.
I am not one to make New Year resolutions. Tried, I did. But I found myself making the same New Year resolutions the next New Year's Eve... and the next... and the next... which meant that I could never keep them. So what is the point of making New Year resolutions? A year is too long for me. I find it more practical to make and keep shorter term goals from time to time. I am happier that way. I can only pray that I would be faithful in the year ahead - in my walk with God, in my marriage, in my friendships, in praying unceasingly and in embracing my upcoming roles as a mother. There is already much to work on in being faithful!
Lunched with Rachel this afternoon and spent the rest of the day drawing at home.
Happy New Year, people!
