The PROOF!

I was ready for a change with this blog. I thought about starting a new one and making it more public (i.e. posting the link on facebook) but I decided against it. I don't link up now, because of all of my infertility posts, which ultimately is why I started the blog in the first place. It's not top secret stuff--I mean it's the worldwide web that I've posted it on, but something about begging my high school acquaintances to read about my lady parts just doesn't feel right. Anyway, this blog was great for networking with other women who were struggling with infertility as well, and I am so grateful to know your stories. I still keep up with you all and I still pray for you all. I'm still technically "infertile", as in my husband and I have a 1% chance of actually conceiving children au natural (it takes a lot of science, people!), but I'm not in the same place that I was a few years ago either.  Obviously we've been able to bring a couple of wonderful little miracles into this world. I'd love for all of you to continue reading, but I understand if you do not. Moving on...

King & Country have a song out that I am in love with right now. If you listen to Christian radio, you've probably heard it, but if not here you go--

The lyrics....ahhh, they are just SO good. Anyway, I'm obsessed with the song and the band, and the verse that King & Country built the song around. And here it is:

1 Corinthians 13:1-13: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

 

I am a perfect example of imperfection. (see what I did there?) I mess up daily. I question God's plan almost as often. I try to rush him. I want things to happen when I want them. I put him on the back burner. I get lazy about reading my Bible. I sin. I have to ask for forgiveness every.single.day. But you know what? I get that forgiveness. I am forgiven. And I hope that when people look at my life they see the PROOF that God is always working on me. And boy am I thankful for that, because there is a LOT of work to be done.

 

So, I've made some changes to by blog. Because....well, it was just time. :)

 

And here are some pictures for you, just in case you need PROOF that God has been good to me.
