Blizzard is coming!!

Looks like we have a big blizzard on its way! I got to stay home one more day from work because of it! Ao I get one more day of snuggling Levi before maternity leave is over which is awesome!

I thought I would update some things before I go back to work and don't get to get on here too much!
Check out Levi's caringbridge website http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/bethanyandmikebracht
I just put the latest updates on there today! He is doing so great.

As I am going back to work I am going to have to be very organized with my time as I spend so much of it ant work, and I am thinking a lot about how I need to spend my free time. I want to make sure that my only time with Levi isn't just Dr. appointments but that we get to have fun time together too,and that my time with Mike isn't just talking about Levi... There is so much to balance each day, I think about my relationship with God and how important it is to start with that, how it is a daily investment along with your marriage,family and maintaining friendships, and career, and fitness, personal time, ministries ect. but people do it!   I have been good about putting myself on a schedule in the past, but never done it to this extent! Wheew! I'm determined to do it, but I know I wont be able to do it well for a while! Props to all the women who have good balance in their lives. I really believe it comes from planning ahead and being organized. I am so glad to be blessed with such an amazing job that I love, I believe this is where God still wants me for the time being although being home with Levi sounds awesome. However it has been such a provision financially along with great insurance and a great creative outlet for me. I am trusting that if God is giving me this that he will help me with the rest!

I am already impressed on how little sleep I can run on without getting tired which i think is a miracle in itself!!
Anyways, change is good, it pushes us to go beyond our limits and takes us to new possibilities!

My Friend Jen's post today

This was a big encouragement to me today.  Sometimes people look at your life and wonder, "how do you do it?" and its just a great reminder that God never asks us to do things alone. "I can do all things through HIM who gives me strength" Phillipians 4:13

Dream last night

Mike and I have been praying about moving into a bigger house, and we have some land we would like to build, on but just trying to see if its affordable to begin that project yet.
But in my dream, I drove down our street to find that all the houses on our street were flooded, and ours was just stripped down to the studs! It was devestating! Until the insurance cut a check for $78,000 and told us to put it as a downpayment on our new house!! wooop wooop!!  hahah, anyways. I thought it was funny, kinda hope it doesnt happen like that but hey, that would be a nice downpayment!

I also dreampt that mike made me coffee this morning, and that dream did come true!!
