We Are Awaiting Beautiful Babies..... Lift Us Up In Prayer

Just a note to remind you to keep Praying for Michael and I to be able to conceive this time around if it be God's will.

Also, please keep my friend and coworker Kim in your Prayers. She spent 8 years attempting to conceive her first child and finally did so through IVF. She now has an almost 2 year old little boy and is ready to try again. This will be her last possible attempt and and I beg everyone to keep her in Prayer. May God touch her body and get it ready to accept this attempt to conceive. How hard this must be to have to work so hard to conceive! Just Pray for her that things will go well and that there may even be 2 heartbeats heard a few months down the road. She wouldn't mind that at all!

My current feelings ....... found in a song

So... I love various different Christian artists, however, I seem to find myself drawn to Mercy Me. I have about 3 of their cds and I truly enjoy each of them. In Christmas of 2006, one of my students purchased an older Mercy Me cd entitled "Almost There."for me. I popped it in to the 6 disc changer in my car and its the one cd that hasn't be taken out yet. On that cd there are several good songs (including one that everyone knows, "I Can Only Imagine"). One of which is called "In You." This song touches my heart so greatly because I can envision the bride of Christ meeting Him and being in awe the way this song mentions. If you are a Christian, you are a member of the bride of Christ and this song directly fits you as well. Notice what it says about all those who have suffered here on earth (the hungry, the blind, the lame, the weary). This song is beautiful and I highly recommend this cd if you don't have it in your collection already. Here are the lyrics to
"In You...."

IN YOU
"I put my hope in You. I lay my life in the palm of Your hands. For I'm constantly drawn to You oh Lord, in ways I can not comprehend. Its the Creator calling the created. Maker beckoning the made. The bride finding what she's always waited for...when we find ourselves that day...
In you...where the hungry feast at the table, the blind frozen by colors in their view, the lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able, and the weary find rest, oh the weary find rest in You. Its no secret we don't belong here, though set apart by the grace of You. We look for the day when we go to a place where the old becomes brand new. In You, where the hungry feast at the table, the blind frozen by the colors in view, the lame will dance will dance for they are able, and the weary find rest, oh the weary find rest in you... Oh we will find rest in You."

Grace of My Life

I lie awake so often at night
With something to read or something to write
In the silence my mind is free
To think of the ways that God has blessed me

It's easy to see how He's been so kind
Any proof I might need is right here by my side

You are the grace of my life
So tender, so undeserved
Hard to believe you're my wife
Even harder to put what I feel into words
If I need evidence God is good
Just looking at you is enough
You are the grace of my life
For you grace my life with your love
[ http://www.rare-lyrics.com ]

Love that is pure, so faithful and strong
You forgive me when I do you wrong
I've seen in you time after time
A picture on earth of love so divine

Oh, I am amazed for how can it be
That someone like you would love someone like me

You are the grace of my life
So tender, so undeserved
Hard to believe you're my wife
Even harder to put what I feel into words
If I need evidence God is good
Just looking at you is enough
You are the grace of my life
For you grace my life with your love

3 Months Down

Hello All:

To all of you faithful readers, I am very sorry. I haven't been keeping up with my blog the way that I should. I am now in my first full week of teaching. Everything is new for me this year. I am teaching two different grade levels, 5th and 6th grade math. It's a whole new ball game. I like it so far, its just a new adjustment. But I am blessed to be adjusting to a new teaching situation in my old school instead of making the adjustment in a brand new school. That helps. Also, I have the same set of students that I have had the entire time I have been teaching again. They are all grown up. It's amazing... I had the 6th graders in second grade my first year followed by the 5th graders. Next, I moved up to fourth grade and that the 6th graders again followed by the 5th graders. Finally, I have both sets together. 5 years of teaching the same students! Amazing! But I love these kids and God is a good God. He has blessed me with the opportunity to be with them as much as possible over the last few years.

So the title of this entry is 3 months down. That is dealing with my baby making situation. I am 3 months in and still no baby yet. I am not very down about it, but I am anxious for it to happen. So my post today is just this... please let me motivate you to Pray for me to get pregnant. I am so excited to go down that road and I feel like I am at a stand still. I have read everything on preconception and conception that I could get my hands on. I've read every tip and piece of advice from A to Z. Please, when you Pray, remember this request for me.

I know that God has a precious child waiting in Heaven right now for Michael and I. I know that He will send he/she (and though I could be wrong ... I am thinking that its a she so I can name it after Danielle) when the time is right. That's what I want is HIS will. I just Pray that it is soon if that's possible in His will. I mean... I am ready to start reading everything about the first month.... right? haha

God Bless!
