Our Family Memories

You know a few months ago, I had no idea this blog world existed. I have become almost addicted to it. For the fact it is fun to record many events of my life. To keep in contact with a few people I don't see regularly. I have found it is quit addicting to spend hours on here, reading many posts of lives I don't even know. This is crazy, I understand that, but for some reason a heart felt post just draws me in. I also think it's been a great way to let people into your life a little without breaking down in tears telling them stories about yourself.

Many of you out there have endured many trails in your lives. Many of you have been through so much. I want to just name a few that amaze me personally. Addictions, abuse, adoptions, depression, death, infertility, divorce, loneliness, wealth and poverty, marriage, loss of child or children, mental and physical disabilities. Many more I'm sure. Some of you have endured many more than others. I marvel at the people that with stand these things. So many other, that lend a willing hand to recover some of the issues that result from the problems these things cause.

The last few months Steven and I have been heavily involved in the adoption world of things. This may seem quit minimal to some of you. For myself, I have spent numerous hours lying awake at night wondering how this will take place. I wonder, if we will receive a phone call in the middle of the night that informs us of a new arrival, or if it will be planned out to the last detail. To be honest, if this is the right time for a adoption to take place in our life. I wonder everyday WHAT we should do to find the right situation for us. Do you wonder if Heavenly Father tests every humbling situation to see what your willing to go through for something you desire so bad?

I have had many things in my life that have taken a great deal of FAITH, to deal with. Never have I looked at this situation with little faith, because it takes so much. It is a pure miracle we have a healthy daughter as it is. To add to our family that would be miraculous. We would love it.

I am going to use you for a moment, if I can. I would love it if you keep us in your prayers. I do know many of you do this anyway, but I'm doing my part. I hope that isn't to much to ask. Who knows it might even save me a night of sleep. I have decided it takes a village to raise a child. I figured it probably would take a few more prayers than mine to receive a child as well. Thanks we appreciate you. For all of you who might have stumbled onto this by accident. I invite you to help us too!
