I am so thankful to be a Christian. I am thankful that I can trust God in every situation of life. I've been hearing a show called "revive our hearts" on the radio in the afternoons. There is a couple who wrote a book about children and pregnancy and what a blessing is it to be able to bring children into the world, and how God uses children to work in our own lives and grow us, and that they will basically be the only thing we can take to heaven with us. I know this is all true. I also have to admit that every day I hear part of their segment and I have to turn the radio off. I know that children are a blessing from God. I also know (of) many couples who long for children and cannot conceive. My heart hurts for these people. Yesterday I just felt the need to admit to the Lord what I was feeling. God already knows the deepest secrets of our hearts anyways, but I think sometimes we need to stop and realize that. I gave the burden of infertility to God. I admitted that it didn't make sense to me how good people cannot have children while babies are unloved and neglected every day, but vowed to trust anyways. I was once again reminded that no matter what happens in our lives God is good. He's not good because he does things for us. His very person is goodness. I am so glad that God told me to bring my burdens to him. Once I was honest with God that burden was lifted from my shoulders. I still hurt for those who hurt, but I know I have a friend who is ready to listen anytime I need to talk :)
Oh yeah and mom...

Um, oh yeah, Shauna, 9 more days now!!! I cannot wait to have all my children and their families around my table again. When you and Amber came for Kara's graduation in May, it was almost surreal to have you all there, but kinda sad too because I missed my sons-in-law. I'll always hold that sweet sacrifice they made for the family in my heart. Love you all, M♥M
