Day 2: Lauran's update

Pray: I prayed today mainly about being a good mom and a good friend. I want to be a godly example for our little girl, and I want to be the kind of friend to others that I want others to be for me. I want to learn how to love even more as that is the basis of who God is.

Read: I read the first part of 1 Peter 2 today. The first part of the chapter stood out to me the most. Verse 2 says, "As newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord." That got me thinking about how the milk we give our baby is essential to her life. Do I view God's word as that? Do I crave it like newborns crave milk? wow...what a reality check!!

Hang out: I got to spend time with my mom today during lunch. We have such a great friendship and bond, and I am eternally thankful for that. We will also have two of our best friends over tonight to watch American Idol!!! Jimmy and I are so thankful for friends that we can relax with and laugh with!

Tell Someone: I got the opportunity today to share with one of the teachers at one of my day cares just how blessed I feel to be able to have a child. I got to tell her that I view every child first and foremost as a gift from God. Their thought processes, their words, and their actions are so precious to me.
