Baby Girl is around 4 pounds! She is so strong & active! She seems to take short little naps off and on but moving about otherwise. Like early this morning when I woke up at 3:30 to the pouring rain, she was bouncing around! She continued to move till who knows since I fell back to sleep after about an hour =) So precious! Today the Doc said her heart beat was around 150. Doc also said my tummy length measurement seemed on the large size. So next appointment they will take an ultra sound to see how Baby Girl is growing. The last two ultra sounds the Tech has said she is "long and lean" and a week ahead of schedule on her length growth. So, my guess is she is continuing to grow long and therefore my tummy length measurement is long =) We shall see!
We enjoyed a wonderful convention!

I know God speaks to everyone's heart depending on their needs, so this is what He spoke to me.
-We never need be ashamed to beg for God's help.
-Clarity to see what we miss out on when we say no to God. And clarity to see all that is ours when we say yes to God.
-The welcome to God into our home begins in our own hearts each morning. To have the desire each morning of , we will change so you (God) can be comfortable. All those we read of in the Bible that drew near & had a welcome toward Jesus, knew blessing.
-Don't worry about how what others do will effect you. But worry about having a right spirit. (Luke 10:38-42 Mary & Martha)
-God will always be strong & be there for us, if we step out to do what He has asked. ( I Timothy 4)
-There is no grave in this world that contains the body of Jesus. There is a resurrection, Jesus has proven to us, it is true. There is a life after, so great, beyond the grave.
-Our walk, is our salvation. (Romans 8)
-Jesus is always the way.
-Faith is contagious and so our doubts. Doubt changes how we listen, act, pray, read & speak. Do in faith. Pray every day God would speak to our heart. Believing is a decision/choice. To live by faith is really the only way to truly live life. When faith fails, it denies the Lord.
-Never confuse the peace of quitting fighting w/ the peace of victory.
-Luke 10:38-42, Martha just got the timing wrong. Jesus knew they had to eat. But Mary had the timing right, sitting at the feet of Jesus first. God knows we have responsibility here on this earth. It is our choice to put God & our salvation first.
-Song of Solomon 7:10 in the spanish Bible it says, "His contentment is in me." To have/live a life that when God/Jesus would look down on our life, they would be content.
-Exodus 21 This man's decisions were made by his passions. To pray for God's help to choose our passions. Charity-burning love, begins in the home.
-To be satisfied in the Truth, in our place can be a big example to our children.
-There is nothing better for us than being fully committed to the will of God for our life.
-You can always know it is satan temping you or God testing you. To be tested, is to a higher level. To be tempted is always to a lower level. Peter, after walking on the water, saw all these obstacles. When we are negative we give satan the advantage. Sometimes we forget there is all the help of Heaven to help a child of God. We may not have the ability in us to do, but we have a friend (in Jesus) to help us.
-Meekness is submission w/out recentment.
-The spirit of a servant will always have a place in God's kingdom.
-When we choose God's way it will always be good.
-To keep our eyes on Jesus, the Lamb. To be desperate & keep desperate for His help.
-To keep our fear (respect) of God stronger than our fear of man.
-Our soul is the most important part of our body. God is not concerned of our body.
-Acts 10: a verse says, "doubting nothing" Acts 11: a verse says, "nothing doubting" Don't reserve any room for satan. Take opportunity to believe.
Hope you are having a wonderful week! Hugs, Tim, Brennan & Baby Girl
