Intro

We named our blog “Raising Mustard Seeds” after the famous parable in Matthew’s Gospel. We had some mustard seeds of our own laying dormant in our hearts, and finally, the year before our marriage, we began to let those seeds grow. Our journey with Christ hasn’t always been easy, but it has bore more fruit than we could possibly imagine. And through the mustard seeds He planted in our hearts, He opened them to receive little mustard seeds of our own…

While Jesus in this parable is talking about how faith and our relationship with God should grow from something very small to something mighty and powerful, it’s applicable to our children as well. It is our hope that through prayer and proper parenting, our children will grow from small and helpless (tiny mustard seeds) to being mighty in Christ, so that they will be shining lights in the world and people will come to “dwell in the branches” of their faith.

So, this is our little space in the big internet where we will share our most likely crazy experiences as we start our family and we hope those who are close to us will enjoy laughing at us and with us, and maybe even learn something new :)

Every Pregnant Woman Loves Her Fat Pants...



Since I outgrew my pants, I’ve been wearing skirts, dresses, and some capris I have that still fit me. Perfect for summer, truly. Obviously though, I knew there would come a time when I needed to buy maternity jeans. The name "maternity pants" sounds so gross to me (Yes, I am weird), but DANG THEY ARE COMFY!

Last week I went to Target and tried on their Liz Lange 3-in-1 paneljeans. Now, I think the Liz Lange brand must really understand the psyche of the pregnant woman because I had to buy these jeans in one size smaller than my pre-pregnancy size. What an ego booster. It's an incredible lie, but who cares? I sure don't :-)

Thank you Liz Lange, from pregos everywhere!
