So, the blog has really been struggling lately! I guess you could say it's somewhat of a reflection on the blog's author. I've been having a hard time getting used to the fact that I don't have to be up at a certain time or be at a certain place on a certain day, etc. It's nice, but at the same time just different.
I've also had some discouraging days as we continue to wait on the Lord for our baby. Oh, it's just SO not fun and I have to keep myself from throwing a big pity party every now and then! I was so thankful to read this post by my sweet friend Heather, that really kicked me in the rear. God has been dealing with me on this, and I am so grateful for what He is showing me. Please continue to pray for us and that God would work supernaturally in our lives. We need a miracle from Him and we know He alone is able!

To lighten things up a bit, here's some pictures of the cutest little girl who got promoted to THREE year old Sunday School this week! What??? How can this be possible??? The girl is getting so big!!
E and NaNa
E and her buddy Hayes in their new classroom. Aren't they cute?? I'm telling you I could eat that Hayes up with a spoon!
Here's a couple of things I've been working on....LOVE the font on this bib! It would be so cute in blue and brown, and so many other colors too! Fun, fun!
I thought this saying was so funny (and true for me!)
The weekend is almost here! And, I cannot believe it is almost Labor Day! Do ya'll have any big plans?
Sweet pictures! Emma is too, too cute.
ReplyDeleteWe are headed to the mountains to camp Saturday night. I'm eager to get out of town and just relax in God's creation for a while.
I'm praying for you!
I will say a prayer for you today...God bless you in your waiting!

Girl I feel ya! My blog has been struggling lately also.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the email. I am going to be emailing you back soon.
I know I say it everytime but Emma is adorable!
I agree about Heather's post...it was exactly what I needed to hear too. We all are EAGERLY EXPECTING our miracles...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until we are all posting about our wonderful babies :)
Blessings to you...I am praying for you daily!
Faith,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you have been discouraged!!! I'm praying for you EVERY day! :) I can't wait to click on your blog and see that a sweet precious miracle is on the way for you and your hubby!
Emma is adorable as always!!! SO, SO sweet!!! :)
I LOVE all the new things you have made!!!
I hope ya'll have a great Labor Day weekend! Can you believe that our parish has school on Monday? :0
Faith-
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you have been hurting and having these struggles. It is uplifting though when we receive encouragement and reminders from God's word like you have received. I just finished writing you and Chad down in my daily prayer journal and I am praying for a baby but I am also praying for your emotions and all that can entail. I know in my experience it is sometimes the emotional/spiritual battle that can take more of the tole on you than having an empty womb. God is good and we have to remind ourselves HIS way is perfect. You are a beautiful creation of His. Be encouraged today!! Love Ya!
Love that picture! I could eat him with a spoon too!
ReplyDeleteLove you and we're still praying!
Emma gets cuter every time I see her and that little Hayes has to be the most adorable little blonde I've ever seen!! Praying and asking the Lord to answer your hearts with a baby and give you grace and peace in the wait. You're right, He is able to do it!!
ReplyDeleteFaith- I love you and I am praying so hard for God to make our mountains into roads! I am in a perpetual pity party- really- and God is continually trying to get me to rejoice and trust Him in the waiting. Man, it is not easy.
ReplyDeleteI love Lianna's comment- and I, too, cannot wait until we are all blogging about the miracles God has done. (remember Hannah's song in 1 Samuel!!)
Emma is DARLING and that shirt and necklace you have on in the pic is precious, too! You both look so pretty for church!
Love you, friend. Believing God for us today!
OH- and Amen to that kitchen saying! AND- I love the new fringe on your header- I keep meaning to tell you that! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet Faith,
ReplyDeleteIt is my natural instinct as your mother to want to "fix" whatever is wrong in "my little girl's" life. My heart grieves with you over your desire for a child and I wish that there was something that I could do to make that desire a reality. What I can promise to do is to continue to cover you in prayer and wait with you on God's perfect timing. I know that it is so hard, but I KNOW God has a miracle in store for you and Chad! I believe it with ALL my heart! I can hardly wait until that day because God is going to receive all the praise and honor and glory for what He has done! He will have chosen to bless 2 of His most faithful servants. I love you both so much! Mom
Faith,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the disappointment and frustrations you have been going through. I know it is so discouraging. You are in my prayers! Lots of love and hugs to you!!!

ReplyDeleteEphesians 3:14-20 has been my prayer for you!
I love v.20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work with in us, to accomplish infinitely more than we ask or think!!!!
I can't wait for God to answer our prayers for you!!!
My dear Faith,
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to wait sometimes; especially when we want something so badly!! My heart aches for you. I have been praying and will continue to pray for a baby for you and Chad. Your faith truly amazes me.
Emma Boo is just too darn cute I tell ya. And girl you are a monogramming genius!!!
Praying on, Dawn
A couple of week ago, our church had baby dedication and our pastor made a point to remind us all of the families that are waiting to become pregnant and/or adopt a baby. I just wanted you to know our entire church prayed for those families, and I specifically thought about all of my blog friends that are waiting. I know it has to be so hard. I am thankful of a God that can still perform miracles. We have seen that with Kelly. I will keep praying sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteI could eat that Emma up with a spoon! She is so cute!
The bib is adorable and the saying on that towel could go for me as well! Ha! HUGS!
Hey girl. I am so sorry for your hurt and frustration. I am praying hard for you.
ReplyDeleteHere is one of my favorite quotes I have hanging on a plaque in my bathroom: "This day was a total waste of make-up."
I invite you to visit www.PowerUpLove.com a community of real people sharing real stories about how Love (God) has really impacted and changed their lives.

ReplyDeletePraying for you Faith! I completely agree that it will be so exciting to see everyone posting about some wonderful miracles! And love the monogramming, it's awesome! You rock!
ReplyDeleteFaith - I read today that Stephanie is pregnant and I just started immediately sobbing because she has been on my heart so much to pray for her and I'm so excited to see God continue to answer my prayers. You have been someone else who I wake up in the middle of the night and just pray for. I have great expectancy that any day I am going to click over here to see you announcing good news! God has given me a heart that is full of hope because of all the answered prayers He has done.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you every day!
Faith, thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you for your sweet comments. You and your mom crack me up commenting about my commode. HA!!! It is kinda cute isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you and Chad and your desire to have a sweet baby. I know God is hearing your plea, he always does.
That little Emma is the cutest thing I have ever seen and I love the video you made of her.
I'm going to have my daughter Cortney look at your blog. She loves momogrammed things and that bib is the cutest.
I will be praying for you.
Oh, I love the stuff you've been working on...and as for the other stuff, I feel you!!!
ReplyDeleteFaith, you are so talented!! I LOVE that towel!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your heart is aching so badly these days. I am still praying, I have you and Chad in my bible on a page where I put prayers that I am committed to praying for!! I love you girl and I know God has a plan!!
Sweet Faith ~ I think about you constantly and continue to pray for you. Your faith in the Lord is such a testament to so many women out there!
ReplyDeleteThat little Emma is DARLING!
What cute projects you have done! Girl, you are in my prayers- I know that the Lord will bless you for your faithfulness to Him!
ReplyDeleteFaith, Just wanted to say again that my sister LOVES her market tote. She keeps it with her at school when she's helping in the office, selling t-shirts and running errands all over the school! She is the envy of all her friends! You are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI just said a prayer for you and Chad! Have a great week!
Sweet Faith, I do pray that God answers all of our prayers for you soon. I admire your ability to keep up your faith in him.
