Dance Dance Revolution!

I have been playing ddr for the past hour, and i have to say i still cannot bleive how time flies when playing that game! if any of you has an xbox or playstation- i would highly reccomend this game for any skill level. i love it, and i am really pretty bad at it! anyway, just a thought i wanted to put out there!

Learning patience

Seems like i have been learning patience forever, don't it? Yeah, i guess sometimes i can be a little thick-headed. Well , I have had a few moments over the past couple days that have felt a little discouraged, but fortunately God has helped me to not give into that feeling for too long. He keeps reminding me that my family and friends love me for me and that i am not less special to them because i have not had a baby yet.If you're reading this and you want to pray for me, ask God to give me an extra measure of his peace and comfort as well as patience as i work to get my physical strength back and seek Him more in waiting on and trusting Him to give us a baby. right now i am really motivated to get my workout back on track. i feel so yucky about my current fitness level and i want to get really strong and healthy so that when i am pregnant so many things will be easier, and it will be easier to bounce back after baby. i am gonna whip my butt literally into shape! with that..i am gonna sign off , eat lunch, and play some DDR!

Praise the lord!

God is so good, y'all. i went to the doctor last week, and while i did not get the news i hoped for- it was and still is- okay. i think through a number of people in my life as well as some intense prayer time, my Abba Father has pulled me close to Himself and helped me to really see a chance to love and trust Him for real. it is so hard to let go- and i won't lie- i cannot think of anything that would make me happier than a baby right now- but at the same time, i can wait. God blessed me with an amazing moment as my doctor entered the exam room last week. he put this prayer into my heart- "Father, i want to want for me what you want for me. please give me patience and help me trust you." those of you who know me and how badly i want to be a mother know that that is not me all on my own. that is God. So for now i am gonna focus on getting healthy spiritually, physically and emotionally. the physical part is requiring its own level of patience, but that's a story for another entry.

My Family

God Has Blessed me Beyond Belief! I have an amazing Family which includes the family i grew up in, with A dad who showed me what it was to be a good man, a Mother who understands my struggles and prays me through them , A Fun, Smart, and drop-dead Gorgeous sister who is 8 years younger than i am, A Spunky, Talented, Funny, Stylish , Fiery Redheaded Knockout sister who is 10 years younger than me, and the Sweetest, Funniest Brother who is almost 12 years younger than me! It also includes my in-laws, who love me like their own daughter! I have a father in law who i can really talk to and cares about me enough to often think of nice little things to do to make me happy and/ or comfortable, a mother in law who has taught me so many things and is one of my dearest friends, A brother in law who is a very Strong and Godly man, and willing to lend a hand in any way he can, His wife, who has to be one of the sweetest people i have ever met (they are also getting ready to be blessed with a baby girl! i can't wait to spoil my niece rotten!), A brother in law who is so sweet and caring i sometimes can't believe it, and has always been there for me, A third Brother in law, awho is shaping up to be a really honorable man, but still manages to be one of the funniest people i know, and finally, my sister in law, who is just over 14 years younger than me and sweet and funny and smart as a whip!
