update oy my life

Wow, I haven't posted in a really long time. Things have been hectic to say the least. I have been traveling all over for work. I spent the last two days in Cincinnati and next week and I am in Orlando and then Richmond. I am enjoying it but it's very stressful. I have been stretched so far beyond my comfort zone that's it's unreal. I am sure that down the road, this will come easily. Until then, I press on.

As far as the rest of life, I am pressing on there too. I thought that as time went on things would be easier and easier and in some ways they are, but others aren't. Last Sunday at church I sat behind five or so young mothers-all friends of mine. My husband hadn't arrived yet so I sat alone just watching all of them with their little ones. It didn't take long before my eyes filled with tears. I sometimes think how old Mia would be now and when I see other babies her age I wonder about her. Everyone says my time will come, and I wonder if that's actually true. Initially when we had Mia, I didn't want to be pregnant again, but that has passed and i am really ready. I thought I would be pregnant again by now, but I am not. I am learning to lean on the Lord through this and to remain strong knowing that even though sometimes I feel forgotton, he hasn't forgotton me. I cling to Jeremiah 29:11 everyday.

My marriage is great. My husband is an amazing strength. He is sensitive to me when I am hurting and is very comforting. We continue to grow closer to one another and I thank the Lord for him everyday.

As far as the weight loss thing, yeah it got a little old and I have given in to the ice cream a bit. I currently weight 123 and I guess unless I crack back down on my eating habits, I am going to have to be happy with that.

As one of those friends, I want you to know that I admire your strength. You know that God gives and takes away. You amaze me with your patience. I don't think I would be as patient and as strong as you have been during this. However, I know you will continue to be and you will be all right. Thank you for spending time with us last Friday. I miss you on worship team and it was very nice.

Have a great week!
