Spoiled Rotten???
That would be my dog...laying on the couch, under a blanket, on top of the heating pad, on a pillow. And yes, the heating pad was on low.
I love my dog. Just a little bit. Can you tell???
Man, I need a baby. Speaking of babies, on Monday I read this beautiful post written by my blog friend Amy. She put into words what my heart feels and just doesn't quite know how to say. There are times that I do feel very alone. But, I'm thankful that there are others who are walking this road with me, and I'm also very thankful for those who are praying for us as we walk this road. It is the hardest thing I've ever gone through, but the Lord is faithful and His mercies are new every morning, and even moment by moment. Praise His Name!

Thanks for all of your sweet comments on E and the new blog look! I love playing around with the layout and coming up with something new and fun!
And, I remembered something else E said that was so cute. We were driving home one night and there was a truck that had one of these on their windshield, obviously a Clems0n Tigers fan...
E looked at it and said "Look, there's a clue! Like Blue's Clues!" Oh my word, we started dying laughing!! She's so funny!!
I LOVE the new blog look!
ReplyDeleteThat pic makes me miss my dog Molly - we had her for 16 years and she was put to sleep last June (so sad)! They deserve to be a little spoiled :)
I also wanted you to know I pray for you often. I can't imagine what you are going through, but I know God is preparing wonderful things for you!
I LOVE the look too!!! It is so fun! You did it yourself??? Want to do mine? hehe
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your bab(ies).
I know they are coming!
:)
I need a blanket and a pillow and a heating pad too! Come on over girl! GOOD GRIEF that is some spoiledness right there!
ReplyDeletePraying for you honey! I love you!
By the way, the picture of your dog is adorable...and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI read Amy's post and it's incredible!!! Her words perfectly communicated the experience of infertility.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog, Faith! And Emma is just SO cute! And I love your new layout also! Still praying for you and just remember God is totally in control! He loves you so!
ReplyDeleteI can't say anything about Calie Boo being spoiled because I have 2 at my house that are equally as rotten!
ReplyDeleteI read Amy's post and it was so beautifully written. I had to wait for the tears to clear from my eyes to write this comment.
As your mother, I so want to "fix this" and "make everything better" and I can't. All I can do is cover you in prayer and remind you that I am right here beside you in this "room" and I could not love you more! You are not alone!
I believe with all my heart that God is preparing a special miracle for you and Chad and I can hardly wait!
I love you to pieces!
Mom
Read Amy's post. Cried of course. She's very eloquent. I prayed for you today. Hoping it's a GREAT week. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for today. I'm still full!
I too loved Amy's post. Perfectly written, it was like she looked right in my heart and saw things I could never articulate properly... I pray God blesses her for it!
ReplyDeleteAnd even though I so wish amazing women like you and her were not in this room, I am grateful to have such amazing sisters to stand beside. You have made the journey easier....
Blessings,
kendra
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new look, girl!!! You are sooo creative! And I'm with you on the pink! I love it too. And Emma's stories are so funny. I know she keeps life exciting and fun around your house! Cutie patootie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet "baby"!!! And I love your new blog look - looks so HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteHi girl!! How are you? Can I tell you that I LOVE the new blog look!! Did you do it yourself or did you find the "tools" somewhere?? Your header is DARLING and so is your signature at the bottom of your posts. I LOVE it. Maybe you can help me when I re-decorate my blog after we find out girl or boy??
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that I am praying for you still, but I pray with hope for you Faith. I just know and believe that the Lord is going to bless you with a baby and He's going to do it in a way that only He can get the glory for! You are a beautiful picture of surrender and He can work with that kind of heart girlfriend! Keep worshipping Him through the hurt and the disappointment. Can I recommend an excellent sermon for you to listen to? I was so reminded of my own journey listening to it and you just kept coming to my mind too. Let me know if you're interested, I'll send you the link.
Love you and love that little Emma! She is too darn cute for her own good :) Glad you had a fun weekend with her!
I would love to send out my love for the new layout once again for good measure. :)
ReplyDeleteI so appreciated Amy's post. I read and it and just felt so blessed by her honesty and the amazing way she was able to convey what I know so many other women feel. It really helped me understand a little bit better - can never truly understand of course, but just deepened my prayers for all of you sweet girls even more (it that's possible!).
P.S. Emma is stealing my heart, one adorable comment at a time!
I too love you new blog look! You are so talented and creative!
ReplyDeleteI won't even pretend to know what it feels like to walk the road that you are walking right now, but know that I pray for you everyday!! I know the Lord is going to do something AMAZING! I can't wait!!
Prayin' for you today girl!!!!
I LOVE your new blog look! You are so creative! :)
ReplyDeleteEmma is just a cutie pie and that is all there is to it! :) I'm so glad that ya'll get to spend so much time with her! I know she loves ya'll to death!
I'm praying for you and Chad every day! I just know that I'm going to log onto your blog one day and see some wonderful baby news!
We are in the same boat...My husband and I have prayed for almost 6 years for a baby...I have one child "my husband"...hee hee, but I have a huge longing to be a real mommy! Know one knows how it feels unless. they too are going through the struggle! God Bless you, and I'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteOur two labs are just as spoiled! In fact, my older lab gets underneath the covers every night because he's cold. Which, if I'm honest, I love because it keeps me warm! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing my post...I honestly didn't realize so many women would identify with it, but I'm thankful God chose to use it that way.
Emma's comment made me laugh out loud, that little sinker, she is just soo cute!! And that is going to be one jealous doggie when the babies come along. She is going to wonder where her heating pad days went :-) Praying for you as usual! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteYes Faith - Amy's post hit it right on the head on how the feeling can be so overwhelming but not to take joy away from anyone that is blessed.
ReplyDeleteI have to believe God holds plans in his hands for us - no matter what they are!!!
so you had lasik?? i am SO nervous! but, i am basically totally blind, so i know in the end, if nothing goes wrong, it will be worth it! thanks for the encouragement! i will stick to the eye drops for sure. i love love love your pictures that have "sprouts" on them. they are great pics. you guys are adorable
ReplyDeleteOkay, the Blue's Clue comment made me LOL. That is so stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to go over and read that post that Amy wrote...it has been a rough week for me emotionally.
I pray for you, daily...your sweet spirit is always such an encouragement to me.
((HUGS))
I just found your blog (from Kelly's I think) and was inspired to start my own. I, too, am struggeling with infertility and I, too, have a dog that is spoiled beyound comprehension!!! The other night I asked my husband to scoot over b/c he was sleeping in the middle of the bed and he said "But Rustee's over there." Excuse me?!?!? Our 8 lb dog is in your way? Guess who caved...me! I slept w/ a knee in my back while the dog had room to stretch out! Oh well...I just hope my kids are not as spoiled-I guess I should say "rotten" I plan to spoil them to NO END when they come!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new blog-look!!! It's gorgeous! I am dying for something "customized" but I haven't a clue on how to figure any of it nor do I have money to pay someone else to do it.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I'll just covet yours. (o: Looks fab girl!
I do absolutely LOVE the new layout, so festive! And the photo of your pup made me laugh because our dog has a special blanket that is exclusively his in our family room. No heating pad, but now that you mention it, maybe we should add one! :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
Your new blog look is precious! I would say yes your dog is spoiled rotten. Wow, he has it made! I just love that Emma girl. She always says the smartest things!
ReplyDeletewow...your dog is as spoiled as mine...i came home today and she was on the floor by the couch with her head on a pillow and covered some by a blanket...it was so cute..very similar to your pic of your dog! btw..thanks for sharing about AMy's post..i went and read it and teared up of course as she wrote what many of us feel! Thanks for praying for me too btw...it means so much! btw...how did you get the little word titles and photo by all your different categories on your page?
ReplyDeleteI totally just posted about my spoiled (and costly) doggies!!! We are on the same mind. I loved Amy's post and my heart just ached in "relation" to her every word. I know you know it....but I am praying so hard for you, Faith. Multiple times a day, every day. I believe He will bring you a baby. I feel it in my heart. I love you so much and am here if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteYour little dog is just precious ;)! I am a firm believer that you can't spoil anyone (animal or person) with love.
ReplyDeleteSweet little Emma...you should write her comments down in a book!
Your new blog looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe dog looks so cute and comfortable! Have a great Thanksgiving!
