Adams update

I thought I would take some time to update the blog on what is going on with our busy family. And it is just that...busy. Summer has arrived and so has the heat. We are spending lots of time playing in the water. The boys are changing every day I feel like. Aaron is so grown up and FULL of questions. Corban is walking pretty well now and is becoming quite the social bug. He is very friendly and his scrunchy little nose will make pretty much anyone laugh. He knows it too! He has also entered the separation anxiety phase of life. My pregnancy is going by so fast. If I wasn't still having some stomach problems I would forget that I was pregnant. We will find out the gender next month. Which means the pregnancy will be half over then. Ahhhh! Today I found out that I had lost several pounds this past month so I got an order to gain some weight. That is a first for me but I don't think that's going to be a problem:) I have had a hard time accepting that our family is going to add another baby. Slowly, I have started to get used to the idea and starting to get excited about our little surprise to be here!

VBS has just ended and Summer series will start next week. This is the first year Aaron has really gotten the idea of VBS and I have really enjoyed seeing things through his eyes. It's so exciting to hear him talk about the different people he met and the lessons he learned about God. Corban wasn't as excited because the nursery isn't his favorite place. Other than the singing, it wasn't that positive of an experience for him.

Our prayer group has split into 2 groups now. I am enjoying having a smaller group and love that we have added new people to the group. My group is reading a new book together and I feel like we are being challenged every week to get out of our comfort zones to see what God will do with us. I love these girls and their desire to follow Jesus. It is such an encouragement for me to hear their needs, troubles, successes, and aspirations as we work together to further the kingdom. I pray we can continue to grow and have confidence in God's blessings. I am also getting more and more exciting about a class that I am going to be teaching this fall on Wednesday's nights. It has been awhile since I have taught a Bible class and I 'feel the call' again. This time I plan on teaching the book of Mark. I am excited for several reason. First, the study time is so fulfilling for me personally. I have been study diligently over the past several months. I have been intentional about reading the book all the way through without stopping. This story is so amazing and I feel like I see something new and interesting every time I read it. For me, someone who was raised in church, I have rediscovered Jesus. It has changed me. Secondly,I feel a call, now more than ever, to help others rediscover, or even discover for the first time, Him and what that means in their life. I want these ladies to be excited about the gospel and be able to answer the question Mark asks..."who is Jesus?" There are also several people who have expressed interest in coming to the class who have little to no experience in studying the bible or church in general. So I am excited about the dynamics of the class..but also nervous about it. I pray God is already working on their hearts and things will line up perfectly for Jesus to be seen. Can't you just feel my excitement:)

The class will end at the end of November and my due date is Dec 12th. So then it will be baby time! In Between all of that we will vacation and visit family and enjoy our time as a family of 4. So we will be busy, but a good kind of busy.

Happy summer everyone!
