So very thankful to be back in Lex from the sweetest time away with family and my very favorite guy š¤Getting to take this growing little baby bump along, spending time talking, planning & praying for their arrival, and dreaming what life as a growing family will look like was a gift. Thank you Lord for time to rest, recharge & reset ā¤ļøšReturning back to the real world ready & excited to take on the second half of this pregnancy with full & hopeful hearts! š#babydillyinseptember #teamdilly
This past weekend we got to shower one of the worldās sweetest souls and her precious baby boy on the way! It was the dream team of ladies to host alongside & truly a testament to the kind of friend Sam Moore is ā she collects precious, servant-hearted, talented, kind, FUN women around her because thatās who she is herself š To sit over her shoulder looking out at all the guests who gathered (many traveling from across the US) to celebrate her, Andy & Teddy was humbling, inspiring and a testament to Godās goodness in Sam.
My sweet friend, you are so easy to celebrate, a joy to be around and I am SO thankful the Lord brought you and Andy to Lexington nearly 4 1/2 years ago. South Carolinaās loss was our greatest gain, and something I will never ever take for granted š
Tuesday, I rang in my 27th year in the sweetest way imaginable... getting to see this little profile wiggling and somersaulting all over the place. Healthy and strong and standing on their head š Nathan said āyep, that sounds like ourās.ā š
I truly love getting older; every birthday marks another year of knowing myself better, learning of the ways the Lord has made me, wired me & called me. Simply, I like the constantly-refined version of myself more and more.
26 really was the BEST, but I think 27 is going to be my very favorite yet š¤ Happy 20 weeks little babe, Iām so glad seeing your precious face lined up for my birthday this year!! š„³š #babydillyinseptember #20weeks #teamdilly
I knew that motherhood was going to be sanctifying. Had heard it, thought it, expected it. What I wasnāt prepared for was how pregnancy would be sanctifying. Already, this tiny little human who I am responsible for is rocking my world and in the hardest, best ways possible.
Iām an all or nothing kind of girl. I have run at a fast (read insane) pace most of my adult life and am not the best at slowing down. Once the nausea & extreme fatigue of the first trimester receded, I immediately jumped back into the full schedule and crazy pace, thinking I had to āmake up for lost timeā or whatever that even means. I wouldnāt want to admit that, but it was the underlying thought in my mind.
These past several weeks have be so full, leaving me drained and exhausted (and emotional) in ways I was not prepared to feel. Iām a push-through, keep-going type of person, but this was different. My body and mind physically could not and cannot keep that pace. Work, exercise, ministry, time with friends & family, church, housework, ALL THE THINGS.... I was bouncing from one to the next, telling myself Iād be okay. Telling myself I had it under control.
False. Today I crashed. I threw up the white flag and now am sitting in the back of the Chick-Fil-A parking lot, eating lunch & listening to an audio book rather than working/eating at my desk or attending our churchās Good Friday service or working out on my lunch break. I needed French fries and alone time and stillness. A chance to slow down, maybe shed a tired tear and let God speak over me. This is not an image of productivity or strength for me, but it is Good. Holy. Sanctifying.
God is working on my heart and mind and spirit and I am grateful for the Truth that He is never done with us. Iām grateful Iām experiencing weakness, because in that my God is strong. And Iām grateful for this little babe in my belly. Iām really glad you wanted French fries and time alone with Mom today, little one. Your Momma needed that too.
