Saturday Shannanegins...

Can I just say everytime I look at my new blog design I smile? I love it!

I must give credit where credit is due... I found the basic template at The Cutest Blog on the Block . Then I tweaked it to my specifications (nice big word fer ya). :)

I then went to Blog Button Generator , this was the EASIEST way to make your own blog button! So please share the love :) And its FREE!! (now go ahead and add my button.. seriously its so cute!)

I can not wait until Monday when I can annouce something very exciting! God is so good and faithful let me tell you!

And no I'm not pregnant. I know that always probably pops in your head when I say I have  an announcement... So a little update on that part of our life.

After not being successful after a month of following "directions" from the Dr. I kinda had a HUGE  bit of a melt down. When Eve's curse reared its ugly head I spent a week crying and being depressed. I then realized that I can not deal with the pressure and disapointment of every month right now.After getting my hopes up all month only to be reminded once again I am not pregnant.

After praying and talking we decided that we are leaving it in God's hands for now. Down the road, maybe after I graduate we might be more aggressive with us getting pregnant or adopting. Until then its just taking it day by day. 

Not that I'm not disappointed every month I'm not pregnant, but I'm not feeling the pressure.

I can't explain the pain I feel sometimes. But I'm making a choice to trust God and rely on the promises he has given me.

He has a plan people. In fact when I share my announcement Monday... Your going to be amazed! He is good!!

Looking forward to a great weekend! This afternoon play time at the park with the fam and kids :) And then date night with the hubby. Tomorrow our church's annual Bonfire!! Love bonfires!! 

Have a great weekend!!

    I will admit that my first thought was oh I hope she's pregnant.

    I'm sorry you have to go through all of this but like you said you have a purpose and a reason for everything.

    Can't wait to hear your news!!!!!

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...
