I know it has been a while since I last sent a little note. I have been busy with V.B.S. an needless to say we have had music lessons and practice as well as spending time with our neighbor who has been particularly lonely lately. However I enjoyed my week and saw the Lord bless. My wonderful and I do mean WONDERFUL husband worked graveyard shift all week. He got home at 6:30 a.m. and got back up at 7:30 a.m. we were then our the door by 8:15 to V.B.S. we taught different classes. He taught the teens. We we finished up at about 12:00-12:30 and then we came home and he slept from 1:30-3:00 and got up again to do a paper route. (we currently have four) The kids have one and we help with the other three. He came back home and he slept from 6:30-8:00. What a dear. He was really dedicated to this week and those kids. I am very blessed by his faithfulness.To give everyone an update. This has been a very difficult day. We got all of our test back and I am NOT pregnant. The doctor wants to start me on some hormone medication to "restart" my system. I am still praying about that. As you know it would have been a miracle if I was because of my tubal ligation but the Lord has given both my hubby and I a strong desire to have more and we have been in prayer for this for five years.I spent the majority of the time after that in prayer this morning and reading God's word. When my hubby awoke I shared the news with him and we were both in tears. At that moment the phone rang and we found out that my brother-in-law that we no longer see no speak to just adopted a baby girl she is 7 days old. Normally I am happy about this and able to rejoice with many couples blessed enough to have the opportunity to do this. However today it was not easy to hear as this baby went to a home with two fathers so to speak. I pray I do not offend anyone with this but we do not believe this is a situation designed by God. So my thoughts were somewhat lost today. Why? That is the only question I have. I know that it rains on the just as well as the unjust it is just a hard situation to see transpire. Well sorry for carrying on......We will just continue to pray. Thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement and prayers. I've missed you all.

Sorry to hear that your tests were not positive. I will keep in prayer that the Lord would answer your desires.
Sounds like you have been busy.
I hope VBS was great and that everyone had a good time.
I am so, so sorry about your test results. I have been where you are and understand the pain. Why? Was the first word of all my prayers for so many years. Continue to lean on Him and He will be your comfort and strength, even when the answers you seek do not seem clear.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
(((HUGS))) I am just reading this now, and I am sorry that you aren't pregnant. Just keep resting in the Lord and what He has for your life! That is the perfect way! I know it is hard when we have a different idea, or time line than He has... Keep looking to the Lord!

This is my first time visiting your blog and I'm glad I did. Thank you for visiting mine as I found yours. :)
Your husband is such a blessing to you. It was a rough week for him but what a great witness and a blessing to others. I hope he has had a chance to catch up on his sleep.
My heart goes out to you about not being pregnant. After having my 4 children, I also had a tubal ligation. The doctors thought it too dangerous for me to have any more. I have moments of sadness over that but I have given that up to the Lord. I'd love to adopt children or be a foster parent but my husband doesn't feel that is what we should do. I will patiently wait and if that is not to be then I shall be content.
I look forward to reading more of your blog and getting to know you better.

"As for God His way is perfect..." Psalms 18:30.
I have that at the top of my site, and whatever I've gone through, or are going through, it always brings comfort to me. We serve a loving God, a faithful God. I pray peace for your heart, and rest in Him. You have a blessed week ... I'm so glad you came by ... I look forward to getting to know you more.
In Him,

Hello~ It's always a joy to meet a new xanga friend!
I'm so glad you came by and thankful to have visited your site, too. It is so sweetly refreshing. I look forward to getting to know you better, my friend...
I'm praying for you right now, (as I'm having a sleepless night
) that the Lord would bring encouragement and comfort to your heart, that even while you are going through things you don't understand you will be able to rest in the assurance that He understands and has a plan beyond our comprehension~ I've been greatly encouraged in recent months by Psalm 16 - particularly these few verses. Hope they are a blessing to you~
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
Thou dost support my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. (vs. 5-6)
Thou wilt make known to me the path of life;
In Thy presence is fullness of joy;
In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever. (v.11)
