Well, today is the first day of the rest of my life! I guess that is really true on all days, however, today is special. Today is my first day as a Stay At Home Mom!
Now, I don't have a baby outside the womb to care for just yet, but that will come soon enough. It is so interesting being on the first page of this new chapter. I have gladly left behind something that has always been a part of my life. I have always had a job... since high school. I have always earned my own money, and made my own way. It will be interesting to see how I do depending on someone else to provide those things. I really don't anticipate having too much of a problem with this... but it will be a big change.
The other thing that has occurred to me this morning is how faithful our God is. This is something I have longed for, for years. Literally, probably 10 years or more. I have wanted to be a stay at home mom since I can remember. I prayed and prayed that God would lead me to a godly man who wanted the same things as I did. And He was faithful in that. He lead me to Jeff, who is the most wonderful man in the world. And now, he has lead me right to this point as well... with a precious baby girl on the way, a wonderful husband and father to help me with her, and a beautiful home to care for. Someone pinch me. Did my dreams just come true? : )
Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of this life you have provided. Please help me to cherish each day, each moment. Please bless me with the skills and the wisdom to be the wife and mother that You want me to be. I praise you my God, for your faithfulness!
I hope you all have a blessed day!
Love,
Melissa
P.S. Pebbles must be excited about this new chain of events... she's kicking up a storm this morning! : )

How exciting... I didn't realize you were done already! You will do great and just try to get some rest and all the little stuff done now. That house may never be as clean again. Or maybe it is child two and three that prevent me from cleaning.
