God is Good....All the Time
Today I'm keeping it short, sweet and to the point! I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been praying for us and sending your words of encouragment and well wishes. I know that God has great things in store for us in this new journey He's put in our path. Here is a picture of our little fighter...

Why Me God?
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
We had another Doctor's appointment today and I've been hanging all of my hopes on this very appointment. Will I be able to go back to work?.... Will I be able to go on our missions trip to Haiti this year (June 26-July 5).... How is our baby's development going and what should I be doing to keep him/her safe?.... The answer to the first two questions is basically "no" and I find myself strangely at peace with this decision. I didn't see that coming--I thought that I would be angry and upset and saying the infamous "why me God". I'm not able to work on any of my designs for The Blessed Nest, I'm not able to clean my own house (thank's Mom for all your help!!!), I'm not able to lift anything, etc, etc, etc... I am able to sit on the couch with my feet up. Many people would find this a wonderful treat, but let me tell you, it gets old really fast!
As I was thinking about all the things I couldn't do, I realized that I am able to praise God in this momentary trial or "storm". Instead of "why me", I'm saying "thank you Lord that our baby is still healthy and developing normally in spite of what my body is doing." This baby is a beautiful gift from the Lord. We've waited so long for our little "kidney bean" and the wait is still not over--we have till around December 17th (my due date).
We are now fully relying on God to supply our needs (It's really actually a pretty cool place to be)--He hasn't failed us yet.
