Hope's Balloon Release

What a great day... Yesterday was so emotional but yet I feel stronger. We shared our testimony and read scriptures..

Jeremiah 29:11-14

11 For I know the (A)plans that I [a]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for (B)welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a (C)hope.12 Then you will (D)call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will (E)listen to you. 13 You will (F)seek Me and find Me when you (G)search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be (H)found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will (I)restore your [b]fortunes and will (J)gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will (K)bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’

I Love this scripture. God has a plan through our pain... and that is a plan for welfare and a future of HOPE. We can rest in knowing we were going through the hard times that are meant for growth that he will bring us out , but we will be better.

Josh read Romans 15:13

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (A)joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope (B)by the power of the Holy Spirit.

He WILL fill us with joy and peace. Then we may abound in Hope.

We set our table. Put our Hope rocks that Josh and I made. As a reminder of our little Hope and in memory... And to remind us that God is hope, not matter what situation we face. He is our Hope, Strength, Peace. It was a beautiful event. Something I will never forget. Something I will treasure in my heart always.

    I wish I could have been there physically with you, but you and Josh were in my prayers. May He bring you both peace and comfort.

One year ago today my life changed

One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
