For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
One of the things my friend said was "Isn’t it amazing how God knew all about our work at Habitat before we were even conceived?" I think about that and look back on all the past experiences that have brought me to where I am today. God has blessed me immeasurably and I am fortunate enough to be doing work that I love for people who genuinely deserve a hand up. I feel that I have been able to touch so many lives in so many ways in my short time here. To think that God has a plan for each of us even before we are conceived is so huge, it is difficult for me to try to wrap my mind around it.
I think about my family and this child Chris and I are about to bring into the world. I constantly dream about what our lives are going to look like into the future; what our son will be like, what he will choose to do with his life, who he will marry, what sports he will play (if any), all kinds of things like that. Knowing that God has a plan for him even right now is simply amazing to me. I know that God will place him in the lives of others to touch them in various ways that I may never know about. I praise God for all the blessings in my life and those that surround me day by day.

I think that is some very fine writing, Miss Tracy! I'm glad you are blogging since we don't have softball as a way to keep up with you all anymore. I'm so excited for you and Chris and can't wait to see pictures of Sam (I really like that name, by the way. Brian vetoed it for our boys or else we might have used it too!)
Keep posting!
