Faithful and True.

I have learned a few different lessons this week.

1) Cramping during pregnancy is not for the faint of heart.

2) God truly is faithful in the little things- you simply have to open your eyes to see.

3) Friends are a funny thing to juggle.

4) Girls are just as mean in "grown up-land" as they were in high school.

Where to go with all of these lessons? I really don't know. They've just been in the back of my mind this week- and that last one was learned today, so its nice and fresh.

I have had heaps on my mind recently. I don't know if it's the onslaught of preggo hormones that are suddenly turning me into a deep thinker or if it's just the incredible landslide of crazy that has been these past few weeks. It must be a combination of the two.. That's what I think.

One of the things that I just can't seem to get out of my mind is just how different my life would be right now had I not listened to the Lord's call 2 years ago to move to Kansas City... It's quite shocking really. I mean- just think! Had I simply continued down the road I was on, I never would have had the courage to take any time off from UNM, which would have put me at graduating from college with a bachelors degree this May. Sure, I probably would have still lost my job at Saxbys, but I would have been much quicker to find a replacement job since a big move wouldn't have been in my foreseeable future. I wouldn't have started truly cultivating a relationship with my Heavenly Father, my Savior and King. I would still be stuck in the lukewarm, complacent place I was in when I was in Albuquerque. I never would have met the love of my life, my now husband, and the father of my wee little baby that is growing in my belly. I never would have never probably gotten hooked into the House of Prayer- the "prayer movement" so they call it. Mind you, I am not spending nearly as many hours in the prayer room as I was when I was a student at IHOPU, but still, the hunger for the Word, and for spending time with my Jesus is never quite quenched. Its amazing to think about the person I would be if I would have stayed. OH! And I never would have found our lil' rescue kitty, Banjo! She's ridiculous- but she wouldn't truly be a Hansen if she wasn't at least a little crazy.

Thank you, Jesus for lighting the fire under my butt to get out of Albuquerque. Haha! Sounds funny but I SO mean it :)

Ahhh- one of my favorites- listening to the prayer room archives. Ms Laura Hackett is leading and singing the classic...

"Great is Thy faithfulness!Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me"

How fitting.

And so, I end with this, I really don't have much else to say-- God is so good, and I love my wonderful husband..
