First post back in the blogging world after a long absence and after seeing many of my friends and family utilizing blogs, I figured this was a bandwagon I'd join, again.  A lot has happened in my life since I last blogged, so much so that I felt I needed a fresh start, a new blog, almost like cracking the binding on a new journal.  So when I was thinking of a title for this blog the first thing that came to mind was "Jackin' It To Jesus", now I first heard that phrase on TLC's "Toddler's and Tiaras" in reference to the hair styles, but thought it was quite fitting for where I am in my life.  Because everyday I'm learning to literally jack it to Jesus, and in these next few lines I think you'll see why... 
1.  I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with my first child, a boy, who I am so enormously enamoured with already it's slightly nauseating!  I am obsessed with beef jerky, apple sauce, and sprinkle donuts right now to the point that people in my office will purposely bring me a sprinkle donut because they know I will eat at least 3 of them a day, no joke.
2.  Did I mention I was pregnant?  With my first child?  Yep, JITJ.
3.  I am someone who has been riding the line on faith and following Jesus versus taking my own way for the last 5 years and I'm sure if you sat down and looked at a timeline of my life you would be able to pinpoint which side of the line I was on!  It's something I continually work on and struggle with, and I'm sure to a degree I always will, but I do thank God that He continually humbles and cradles me in my times of crash and burn.
4.  My mother is my rock, quite literally.  Ever since college my mother and I have dubbed each other, she being my rock, and I being her pebble.  A bond and a relationship that no one will ever be able to touch or understand but she and I, and I relish it : )  She is soon to take on another name, "Misu", the name she has chosen for this precious one to call her!
5.  One of the lessons I have learned in the last couple of months is that family and your close friends are the ones who make life worth it.  The joy, peace, comfort, solace, understanding and most importantly love and support cannot be measured nor can it ever be repaid, but it is the most wonderful debt I have ever experienced!
So I hope to use this virtual space to document the comings and goings of one woman in this large world as I get ready to embark on a very large and anticipated chapter in my life!
