Darn it. I typed this once…and now I’m typing it again because I closed the wrong window without saving first. So, here goes…again…. I’m way tired today. I’m doing all I can to put on the brakes of my freight train life. I want it to slow down, but sometimes God has other plans. My Read More
It’s amazing the things that change over the course of a week. My books on pregnancy and motherhood have been packed away and replaced with books on miscarriage. The pants that were fitting tight around my waist a few days ago are today hanging on my hips. The maternity clothes that I took out and Read More
I guess I’m to the point where I’m pretty sick of the whole miscarriage thing. Like I said before, it’s getting all too familiar to go through with this. So, I went to my favorite place, Barnes & Noble, and picked up a couple of books this evening. One is Preventing Miscarriage: The Good News. Read More
Well, I haven’t told many of you that I’ve been pregnant for nine weeks now. I was waiting to tell people until I was further along so that I knew the baby was healthy (especially considering my last two miscarriages). Well, I started bleeding on Sunday. I went to the doctor on Monday and the Read More
Josh & I are going through some rough stuff right now. Our relationship is strong (so don’t think that it’s relationship problems…cuz it’s not), but we just have some difficult challenges right now. Please pray…God knows what is going on and we would really appreciate blankets of prayer right now. Thanks. Oh, and I just Read More
I recently stumbled across these articles and was thankful to hear the stories of Christians who have endured miscarriage. In particular, I enjoyed Christian Wulfsberg’s article. He shared of his son, Noah, dying in the womb because he got strangled by the umbilical cord. After going through this death, he & his wife have another Read More
Today we had an awesome sermon in Church. It was about (many things, but here’s one) how people who trust things to God’s care, receive back blessings from God that are incredible. I have learned a very valuable thing this past year. It is that everything I have is God’s. He’s nice enough to let Read More
I was reasearching some stuff about Lyme’s Disease. I got it my senior year of high school and was in extreme pain. (I use it as a measure of other kinds of pains. For example…”Hey Steph, how much does that cut on your arm hurt?” Steph responds while shrugging, “It’s not as bad as Lyme’s Read More
I learned something disturbing the other day. One of my former students stopped in to see me and said that her sister just got her 13th abortion last week. And she’s only 21 years old. Avoiding the whole “she’s killing babies” thing, I asked why she didn’t use some form of birth control. She said Read More
I am so impressed with the way my students are drawing right now. It is so invigorating to see them drawing okay at the beginning of the year, then show them a few short drawing lessons, and *bam!* they’re creating awesome stuff! I’ll post a link to some pics once the kiddos turn them in Read More
