God's Grace

But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Trust in the Lord!

Hard times in life are full of pain and most of the time, questions. As I stated in the previous post, there was a good chance that I would miscarry again, and I did. I am trying not to ask the question of why, but I am trusting in the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 states, "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him". I am acknowledging that He is God and Lord of all, He is the ultimate healer, He can heal my hurt and pain. I know that my life is in His hands and I will praise His name forever. The Lord has blessed me abundantly, with an amazing husband and wonderful son. Trust God with your hurts and your life, He has your/my best interest at His heart.

Little did we know.....

Wow! little did we know what one week would bring. MA did pass his comps and graduating with his Masters! Our appraisal for our house went through. We found out that we are pregnant! This past week we found out that there were some problems with the baby, and then today we found out that I am more than likely going to miscarry again. Trying not to take away from the excitement, we cling to the truth that God is in control and He is taking care of everything. We are trusting Him and praising God for the opportunity to just be pregnant again. Life is hard and full of disappointments, but we have to place our lives, hurts and trust in the Lord.

Happy 30th Birthday!!!

Happy 30th Birthday to MA! I hope that you have a wonderful day! I thank God each day for you and what you mean to me, as my husband, my best friend and the father of my child. Thank you Lord for my wonderful husband!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Big Days Ahead!

Big days ahead.. for starters, tomorrow MA will be the BIG 30! I need to be nice since my time is coming. He had a surprise party this past weekend with family and close friends just to celebrate him. What a wonderful guy I married!! We also sold our house and have to move by May 27th, just a little over a month away and we have not decided where we are going. We are still considering building again, maybe we are crazy? We have been looking at lots and trying to decide what is best.
Also, we are anxiously awaiting MA's comps results to see if he passed and if our appraisal went through. Times are great right now, so many things going on. Another to add to the list is waiting to hear if MA will have a position teaching next year. So pray that God will open that door, pray that God will have His hand on every situation that we are faced with. He is our strength. MA and I were talking today about all of big days ahead and my thought was.... he still has his teaching license, we still have a house, we still have each other and our gorgeous son. God is faithful and taking care of all our needs. We have to trust Him and we are.

Fleeting efforts...

The big three zero is less than a week away for myself, MA. In an effort to hang onto some fleeting youth, I am still trying to allocate the funds to purchase an iphone. The reason I know I am getting old is because I am having a hard justifying the purchase of phone for $499. "But it is so cool" just doesn't seem too convincing anymore. "But I need it." Not really!!! "I can stay in touch and connected at all times." Why in the world would I want to do that? These are arguments I continue to have with myself. Besides, my son could use a new bed, clothes, take your pick, etc. We will see what happens.
