34 Weeks

I'm tired. worn out. burnt out...and many other mixed emotions that I can't seem to explain. It was a rough past week for me. I wish I could say otherwise, but that is the truth. It seems all too easy to say that I trusted and leaned on Jesus when I was tired and weary, but sometimes that just doesn't happen. Other times, I have full confidence that I can trust in His word when He says to his people,

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. One simply little sentence, that can change our whole perspective. I know that Jesus is speaking to those who are trying to "abide by every single rule the Pharisee's are teaching," but I also believe that the truth of this scripture can be comforting to those (including myself) who are just tired and weary from everyday life. What an incredible invitation from Jesus himself. I'll take it!

34 weeks...and counting! I am definitely feeling it. I've seemed to get more and more tired as the days go on, as much as I've wanted to go outside and take a long run, I know that it's just not possible at this point. Our little man has been moving around lots and lots, which is quite interesting at times! Dylan has enjoyed those little moments when he can feel his son pushing against my belly. We've set up some stuff for his room, but still have quite a bit to do. Hopefully we will finish that this week! Other than that, things are going well, and we are anxiously anticipating his arrival. :)
