Of course it has been a while once again since I have blogged. So much going on as usual...I am now 36 weeks prego with our second son. This is a day I did not foresee what so ever. I truly thought that my days of bearing children had come to an end even though I know neither of us had a permanent fix for that. I have told my husband all these years that the Lord Himself would have to speak to me loud and clear for me to have another baby. I mean come on...we had done our duty of populating the earth! lol We had given away all that was left of any remnant of babyhood. Only keeping those few keepsakes for our now big kids.
Well I guess the Lord seen fit for a whole new chapter in our lives. This baby most definetly has a serious story of dreams...myself, two of the kids, a cousin and my sis in law...prophetic happenings and confirmations. I had a friend say to me when we were in the swirl of it all, "who is this baby?!?" That is the very thing that I am more then ecstatic to venture in to. That God would request of us to have this baby boy...it is mind blowing, truly!
In the midst of it all we have been tested, grown closer as a family and have endured the task thus far. The kids are so happy. They tell me all the time that they can not wait to see his face. They all think he is going to look like them and argue about it, which is quite comical. :-) They have helped prepare for him. They have been huge helps to me in things that are more difficult or when mom needs a nap. Kiana has definitely helped even with dinner's here and there. What a blessing! Of course the hubby has been a HUGE help in picking up alot of the slack that I am too tired or unable to do.
So, since this is a many years later and everything leading up to this pregnancy has is different...we are truly doing things unlike all our other births. This time I have researched and learned so much more then I could ever have imagined. This time we will be doing a water birth! :-)
Well, the countdown has truly begun...who know's when the time will arrive for us to welcome Ezekiel Isaac into this world. But we know we eagerly wait his arrival!

The Truth Shall Make You Free
Just wanted to take the time to share a little bit about my journey on this 4-20 evening, coinsidence? I think not. February 10, 2008 I got on a plane to Kansas City, Missouri not knowing what the future held for my life and marriage. The only thing I did know is that I needed to get high. I didn't know how I was going to function without getting high while in KC. I was a mess. I didn't have an understanding of the chaotic life I was living. But God had a plan...
Jesus says in John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." You see I didn't know truth. All I had was lie upon lie upon lie. Revelation 19:10 says, "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." The reason I'm sharing this is because just one word shattered a 1,000 lies. Every time I would put that blunt, joint or pipe to my lips I was drowning out the voice of the One who knows and loves me most, my precious Jesus. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him because He first loved us." I realized as I sat in the prayer room that I was a son of the Most High and that every pain and every place that hurt so deep in my heart that I tried to cover up and keep from Him was where He was trying to get for years. At that very moment He said to me, you will never turn to any other lover again. I would not go back to getting high off of things that brought me no true, lasting pleasure. Then and there I was sanctified by His truth, His word is His truth. John 17:17.
It's been 3 years, 2 months and 10 days since I smoked weed. I have had more clarity of mind in these past years then I have ever had in those 17 years that I gave myself to the pleasures of this world. I am happier then I have ever been in my life. I love my wife and kids more then ever. Thank you Jesus that I am FREE! He did it for me...He can do it anyone. Ain't no high like the most HIGH!
