At this moment....

1. Nina is doing well. She's on the right track and we are getting closer to the due date. Only 2.5 months to go now. What a journey! January 2nd is our next check up with her and I get to hear the heartbeat again, yea!!! I love that part. I think we may have the baby shower at the beginning of February. It will give me enough time to get things situated here in the house. I would love to paint a new nursery for her and get it all decorated, but there's no need spending money. She'll be in our room for a while anyway. Jessy didn't move in to hers till she was about a year or so old. And we were totally okay with that. Lets hope Nina is the same way. So, we'll be fine without all that stuff.
2. Hector and I leave Friday for some "us" time at his company Christmas party. We'll be back Saturday though, but oh well, it will be worth it. Jessy will be staying the night with my sister and the kids on Friday, so she'll love it! She always does. Gosh, hopefully we will have a good time.
3. Have you ever thought of life insurance? It seems like more and more I hear about people going through things in life that they never saw coming. Some are serious life issues and others not so serious. But seriously, if you don't have life insurance and you are married, or have kids, heck even own a house, you need to be covered. The younger the better is so true. Because, younger people get better rates. Non smokers get better rates as well. Get covered. If not through our company, than please do your family a favor, no matter how young you are, get covered.
4. Ameriplan, is playing a huge factor in our world right now. Millions of people are without Health Care. Most have been without for many years, but just recently we have read and seen so many stories of families doing without because the "breadwinner" lost their job. So, in that happening, there goes the benefits. Ameriplan, is not insurance, but it sure comes close to it, and in some cases, has proven itself to be better. Like Life Insurance, you never know when you'll need it. And so many of you have told us that you don't need it right now, but down the road, had wish you had it. I say that with all sincerity because I know, having to go through what my parents experienced last year, things happen unexpectedly sometimes. Thank God he had Ameriplan. So please consider it. Not for my sake, but because we joined this company to help families just like Ameriplan helped my Mom and Dad in their time of need. December's promotion is almost up, any plan for only $20 for the 1st month. What a great deal that is. If you would like to know more about it, please ask.
5. Church. Don't ever forget how important it is to come together as believers. How many times are we going to just play church. Be for real people, we can't be believers of Christ and examples to the lost if we don't take what we do seriously, and to heart. So pick what team you are on. Be true to God. Be true to your church. Be true to the calling God has placed on your life. Don't make church somewhere you go to satisfy yourself, for your gain, for your personal benefit. Make it about God, building on your relationship, soul winning, reaching and touching the World. So if you're a leader, lead people somewhere. And when you lead them, lead them to a place you won't regret taking them. If you are in a place of influence, make sure your heart is right before God, because people know it. They feel it, just like we can when someone isn't right. And if you go before God to lead His people and your heart isn't right, or in the right place, Repent and get it right. Repent means to turn, to run from, to never return....so don't just make it an excuse (God's forgiveness) for you to run around like heck doing what you'd like, because that's not who you are. You are far better than that.
* Well, these are a few thoughts laying heavily on my heart right now. Take it or leave it, but I feel there is a reason as to why I am writing this tonight. *
