Trust

Do you trust God?  Do you trust Him with this present day?  Do you place your future in His hands?  I believe He wants His creation to take life one day at a time and to trust Him even when things are upside-down.  It's hard, I know because I've done it and I will continue to live this way.  I think one thing we need to remember is that what seems to be upside-down to us, may not be upside-down to Him.  He sets crooked paths straight and redeems those that love Him.  Trust Him, He knows what He is doing.

Psalms 28:7 "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped."

Baby Update

On September 16th, 2008 we had our first ultrasound!  It was amazing to see our little baby moving around in there!  Not sure of the gender as of yet but we will find out at 20 weeks:)  The more we can be prepared the better for our little person:)  The doctor says that everything is healthy and going great; this is just what we have been praying for.  Thank you Lord!  Also, the heartbeat was strong and the most surreal experience of our lives.  We knew we were pregnant, but on the 16th of September it all became REAL!  We are grateful!

New Beginnings-Part II

What does a new beginning feel like?  It feels like someone has just brought you from death to life.  It feels fresh and not only that but it gives you a new perspective on your life.  It's a chance to start over and to take back what has been stolen from you.  It is moving into unscarred territory and finally beginning to walk through the chapters of your life that are not written by yourself, but chapters that are written by the "Great Author".  It is what God wants for those that will only let Him.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  

New Beginnings-Part I

7 is the number of completion, 8 is the number of new beginnings.  After 8 years of marriage, my husband and I are headed towards very exciting and beautiful new beginnings; we are going to have our first baby or babies!  God has blessed us and He continues to do so no matter how many stones are thrown our way.  My faith has grown, his faith has grown and we have grown together stronger and stronger each day.  We are looking forward to the days ahead and can't wait to see where God leads us.
