Day 11- Saturday, good day

We had a good day today. Hubby took E to swim lessons and quarantined me to the bedroom and told me to nap. And I did, for a glorious two hours. Add that to the extremely long list of why I love my husband so much. My aunt made a good point today, and it is so true. She said that even though I am doing a lot of laying around lately, I still need to get lots of sleep because this baby is taking a lot out of me. I suppose growing a human IS a tiring activity, so maybe I should get more of those impromptu naps.

After swimming we headed out to visit my aunt and uncle who are always extremely willing to visit with E. And we had an awesome home-cooked meal along with visiting. That's a pretty good Saturday if you ask me.

So I came upon this quote, though I'm not sure who said it (maybe the Bible?) but I thought I would share it.

"The will of God will never bring you to a place where the grace of God will not protect you. If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it."

Okay, so I am not a religious guru or fanatic, but I really would like to believe in this quote. From my own personal experiences thus far, this quote holds true. When I was going through my divorce I experienced some of the worst emotional pain of my life, yet I am here today with a wonderful husband, daughter, and a son on the way. When I was going through labor (like I said, a WHOLE separate entry on that) there were some points during it that I really didn't know if I was going to make it, if E was going to make it, or if even hubby would make it. But we did, and we have a healthy little girl who is the light of our lives. You see, I think this quote goes along with my previous entry on sacrifice. I think that God (or whomever you choose to believe in) has a way of teaching you sacrifice in order to become a better person, or to obtain the things in life you truly want. Maybe you agree with me, maybe you think I am acting borderline televangelist. Either way, I find this to be an inspirational and comforting quote.

Looking forward to a good Sunday, and enjoying my "red wine" (aka, sparkling grape juice). Yum!
