The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trail and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Pray for tomorrow please!

We are heading to the fertility doctor in Chicago tomorrow to get the "official" results of Shawn's testing for the last few months so please pray for that. We have been so busy with other things it almost slipped our mind. We won't be really receiving any new news, just hopefully getting the WHY behind this whole thing. We may be exploring other options depending the diagnosis and what the doctor says!

Good news: WE ARE OFFICIALLY CREDIT CARD FREE! I paid off our last two credit cards today! It is huge because we have had a least two cards since we have been married and I have since my freshman year of college. Thanks to the LORD for that one.

On a side note our furnace went out, BUT we may have the finances to buy a new one right now, and receive tax credits so amen to that too!

Well not much more to post......oh I am officially selling Lia Sophia jewelry now so let me know if you would book a party! It is so easy and I will do the work, plus you get lots of free stuff!

Well God bless.

This week has been a little crazy. Last week was SO great but this week has been ok. Yesterday morning I woke up to my dogs moving around and found that they had torn up papers, a cup, one pair of my sandals, and....our TV remote. Then after that I washed our sheets and I looked for my cell phone but could not find it. I realized it had also gone through the wash......so good bye to my cell phone which I love. I currently have my hubby's until mine dries out enough to get some of the information off and then I will have to get a new one.

One thing to note is last Sunday my pastor gave a very good sermon and he spoke on the gospel in a different note. He spoke about the joy that went before the Lord as we endured the cross. God is a happy God and He wants us to see that, and see Him in that light. It made me realize that I often think of God as judging every move I make when in fact He is the Creator of Joy and Fun! Just a food for thought.

As for our adoption journey.....hopefully we will be sending off our fundraising application by tomorrow or Monday. We are having a yard sale on Sat. May 8th. Kinda at a standstill and waiting....just waiting.
