The new do

Well, despite fitting the perfect profile of a blond.....I decided to go back to my natural roots! With a little push from the reality of our budget......and the fact that we are trying to get pregnant and need to stay away from harsh chemicals I decided to say goodbye to blond highlights!!! (At least for a while....hehehe.) Please forgive the awkward...never turns out good....take the picture yourself in the mirror pose. We are hoping to have my mom take our family pictures in the near future just in time for Christmas Cards!!! Hope you all are enjoying the blessings of the Holiday Season!!

While I wait

I have never been good at waiting. Patience is something I have to work at and pray for. When I am patient, I know full well that it is only by the Grace of God, because everything in my flesh wants things to happen fast!! When my doctor informed me after our miscarriage that some physicians suggest waiting at least three months before trying again.....my first thought was, "THREE MONTHS!!!!!!" It seemed like an eternity. I know this is laughable, and pitiful at best, but it's true. I wanted to be pregnant again ASAP! It has been four months since we lost baby Tres, and every day I humbly ask the Lord to bless us with another healthy baby......and every day I ask the Lord, "what will you have me do as I wait". My sweet sister in law sent me a song the other day that blessed me and ministered to my impatient heart. The song said "I will worship as I wait, trust you as I wait, stand confident as I wait." I find comfort knowing that God is Sovereign and that each day he is giving me the Grace to be content and to look to Him. I know that He has plans for me this day, even as I wait.
