my life is full and blessed. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? - Matthew 16:46Tumblr (3.0; @mylifeasayoungwife)http://mylifeasayoungwife.tumblr.com/<p>I&#8217;ve never really felt the pull of a true new year&#8217;s resolution until this year.  With the happy discovery of a baby on the way, my heart and mind are racing with future plans and endeavors.  I want to be able to look back on this season as a time of fruitfulness, growing closer to God, active love for my husband, and maybe a few diy projects to welcome wee kent.  With this and about a bajillion other exciting plans already in the works for 2013(i&#8217;m overjoyed to be in three glorious weddings in the span of a few weeks!), i feel like tumblr is probably last on my list of things to do.  So, for the whopping total of maybe three people that read this, i will be moving over to a different blogosphere, which will hopefully inspire me to actually write meaningful thoughts instead of lazily reblogging everything i see on here. if your interested i&#8217;ll be here</p> <p><a href="http://maandpakent.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://maandpakent.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>cheers to you and
