I don’t like that when I experience a miracle or see a miracle in someone else’s life I typically think of it as a “modern day” miracle instead of just a MIRACLE! God is at work right now. He hears. He loves. He answers. Today. I LOVE hearing about miracles, and I love being able to share this special story today. My precious niece was born just a mere six weeks after Basye. Her name is Laela and she is…
Believe it or not, these pictures are the best I can do! All Jase wants to do is rip off Basye’s bows when I try to take their picture together. But, he loves his own hats right now. And Papa’s hats, too! Yesterday we had back-to-back well visit appointments for both babes. Jase did really well, especially considering it took TWO hours! Chuck and I were so proud of him. Normally he absolutely hates going to the doctor, but he…
Shelly and Bobby were on Nightline last night! Their story had me in tears. Wow! Amazed by God’s grace in their lives, and the courage He has given them. http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/couples-decision-undergo-risky-prenatal-surgery-30022563?from=related The whole story airs TONIGHT on PBS at 8pm Eastern.
Our great friends Ben and Jess came over for my birthday back in January. I noticed Jess had really cute nails! Of course I complimented her on them, and she got really excited because…She got them for me as my birthday gift! I had never heard of Jamberry Nail Wraps, but it didn’t take me long to get hooked. Jess let me pick out any two wraps I wanted, and then came back over to help me put them on….
I’m SO excited to share this with you all! This Tuesday at 8PM (I guess that’s Eastern time) there is a series starting called Twice Born on PBS. It’s about couples who have undergone fetal surgery, which is surgery on the baby while the Mom is still pregnant! A friend of mine from VA (she grew up at Reston Bible Church) is going to be in the documentary. Her name is Shelly Ross (husband Bobby). Her daughter, Lu has spina…
I just wanted to end this series of posts by saying I really don’t have it all together nor do I have all the answers. My heart behind these posts is simply to share my own experiences and hopefully encourage others on the same journey. I could write a whole other series on “When My Fears Actually Happen”. But the funny thing is, the things I have lived in fear about that have actually happened have never been as bad…
So I wonder if anyone out there can relate to struggling with fear- whether rational or not? Obviously I know my three friends and I are not the only ones. I have been feeling so burdened to write these posts on fear, even though there are many other things I could be doing right now. (Don’t worry, both babies are asleep.) I’ve been learning a lot and just want to share some things that have been helpful to me. Chuck…
I’ve shared pretty openly on this blog about how afraid I can be of things. I’ve asked for prayer over my fears, and I’ve even admitted some of those fears. Because they’ve read my posts, I’ve had a few friends share with me recently about their own battles with fear, anxiety, and worry. Struggling with fear is like living in a nightmare hundreds of times a day. And then at night, actually having nightmares. When a person is afraid, there…
Well, my big toe is THROBBING and a little someone is fussing because he’s stuck in his crib and it’s time for dinner, so I’ll be brief. (If you’re wondering about my toe, there was some sordof pedicure-gone-wrong incident. I still don’t know what happened, but I am going to soak my toe in epsom salt for a couple days and hope that helps! The triple antibiotic ointment doesn’t seem to be doing the trick.) Today is verse six for…
After 7 weeks, we finally got a picture of all four of us together! Chuck’s parents were visiting so they took some pictures for us. I’m way too tired to write much more. Both babies should be napping right now, but one won’t settle down enough for me to take a nap. I can barely keep my eyes open. It’s the perfect day for a nap, too- raining and WARM!
