I have a lot on my heart today. I got an email from a beautiful friend today about something hard she is going to have to do next week...but something that God is going to use to truly enrich her life. I am very excited to see what He is going to do in her through this.
My husband and I had a great opportunity come up today for us that would be amazing for our future...but it was quickly squashed by something unforeseeable. Thankfully, I am not disappointed. It was one of those "great if it happens, great if it doesn't" situations.
I was asked to guest post on a blogger friend's blog... I was so flattered and humbled. She is one of my favorite bloggers and a beautiful person that I really do hope to meet in person someday (She also happens to be the one who hosts this lovely link up party each week). If you want to read my post, click on over to Casey's blog.
I also am just feeling very blessed to be where I'm at right now. I love my hubby. I love my family and friends. I love my church family...and the fact that many of them are just as close as family to me.
We aren't made of money.
We don't live in a huge house.
And yet, I feel so very blessed.
What is on your heart this week?

I read your post on Casey's blog - thank you so much for sharing. I am in the same situation and it was encouraging to hear your story. It's comforting to know everything we face is in God's hands :-)
My dear, you are a Godsend! I read your post over at Casey's and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you for your transparency, and your willingness to allow God to work thru you. I am so looking forward to catching up on your blog and becoming your next devoted follower!

Just read your guest post on Casey's blog. It really hit home. My husband i dealt with infertility. I was diagnosed with PCOS. It took 2 1/2 years to be blessed w/our first answered prayer. Then after many miscarriages & 6 yrs later we were blessed with our second prayer. I was very much like you obsessed with becoming pregnant & finally handed it all to God & became pregnant. I have many friends & family going through infertility. I pray for them daily & will add you to my prayer list!
forgot to tell you i blogged about you on my blog
enjoyed your guest post!
Thanks so much for sharing your post! We've been married 6 years, both almost 29, and off BC for almost 3 years. I know exactly how you feel with comparison to others, as we've been married longer than most of our friends/family members and are older, yet many all have multiple kids. God really had to get ahold of my heart so that I would stop harboring so much bitterness, that I didn't even know had snuck in there. I too had a very obsessive phase and am so glad to be on the "other side" of letting go, however it's a daily decision. I appreciate your encouragement and reminder to constantly entrust the details, even though planning and timing them myself seem so much more fun, what am I thinking?! God knows us too well and knows exactly what we need! And I love what you said about all the things that y'all have done as a couple over the past time- so true! Praying for you and trusting that the desires of our hearts are a blessing right around the corner! :)
Yay for seeing the joy in all things!
Sky - Thank you for your sweet comment. I am glad my story was an encouragement to you!
Lucy - Thank you for your kind words! I am thankful God used my story to speak to you. And, thanks for following me! I'm excited to get to know you better!
Crystal - Thanks for sharing your story! I'm glad God was able to work in your life...and that He blessed you with two babies! And, I'm flattered that you blogged about me! I'm hoping we'll get to know each other better! Be blessed!
Joanna - Thank you for sharing your story and for your prayers. It is crazy how we think our lives are better when we take control...when in fact they are just miserable! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm glad God used my words to encourage you!
