Truthful Thursday – Job 37
Posted on: January 9, 2009
“We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty; but even though he is just and righteous, he does not destroy us. No wonder people everywhere fear him. All who are wise show him reverence.” Job 37:23-24
On to number two!

I think it’s funny how little you meditate on, dream about, and talk about pregnancies after your first. I think it has a lot to do with the newness not being the same, or the fact that you (or at least me) seem to be way to tired and busy to stop and really enjoy being pregnant. Ok, ok, I admitted it. I am one of those crazy ladies who actually enjoys being pregnant. Sure, the sickness isn’t all that great, but all the same, there is a tender wonder in having a child growing inside you and I just love it.
At any rate, we’ve scheduled our ultrasound for the 29th. We naturally wanted to find out with Julia whether we were having a boy or girl. We thought it only natural so we could plan and choose names, etc. However, this time around Jonathan is wanting to wait. He has good reasons why (babe – you can post them in the comments if you want), but again I want to know. I feel like with Julia, it allowed me to form an attachment with her. We called her by her name, I sang her her song (Julia by The Beatles), and daydreamed about what it was going to be like to have a daughter.
What do you think? Should we find out? I set up a poll on the left hand side of the blog so you can give your opinion. Also, even if you think we should or shouldn’t find out, what would you do (or have done)? Did you like (or would you like) knowing or not knowing?
Happy New Year

And all that jazz.
We just got home from Faithwalkers and visiting with our family. It was awesome, but I still need more time to process everything I learned before I send out my thoughts into the blogging world.
On the trip home, Jonathan, Fletcher and I had a long conversation about New Year’s resolutions. Good, bad or just plain silly?
I tend to make (and actually keep!) one resolution each year. It tends to be something I have wanted to do but need a good starting point and visible finish.
Here are a few of my past resolutions:
– give up chocolate (did it, but boy was it hard!)
– give up fast food (McDonald’s, Wendy’s BK, Taco Bell and a handful of others)
– read through the Bible (started off strong, but when I got preggo with Julia is was all I could do to function that reading more than a few verses at a time was nearly impossible)
Does anyone else start (and get pretty close to finishing) new resolutions?
I’ve got my resolution for this year – journalling. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but I haven’t done a very good job with it and know that I really need to have in my life. This weekend I’m buying a journal and getting started.
