Can it really be almost a year since I’ve written here? Time has flown and drug by all at the same time. This has been a really difficult year for us so I hope you will forgive me for not visiting your blogs and keeping up with your lives. You see, we have been praying for sometime now that the Lord would see fit to expand our little family, and we thought that our dream had finally become a reality. But last October at nine weeks, our tiny baby’s heart decided that it wasn’t strong enough to keep beating. And we have spent the last few months grieving that little life we will hold in our hearts forever.
Life is different now. We don’t know exactly where the Lord is leading us. What we do know, is that this coming year will be the biggest leap of faith we’ve ever taken. We are starting a new construction business this spring. I have finally made the decision that I will not be returning to teaching next fall. I will be taking care of my home, loving on my family, playing secretary extraordinaire for our new business, and making sure that my house plants don’t die.
I hope you guys don’t mind if I jump back into your lives. I’m sure I’ve missed so much in the last year, but I can’t wait to see what you’re up to now. And I’ve really missed you guys!

oh sweet girl…how could anyone mind you jumping back into our lives. and, oh how my heart grieves with you for your loss…it takes me back to the day we found out we had miscarried…and the weeks after…and, honestly, even now…knowing we have a baby we won’t know until heaven. chelle sent me a song called “glory baby”…which was so incredible…i can’t remember who it was by at the moment, but oh how it ministered to my soul. i will be adding your heart to my prayers sweet lady…and your new adventures as well…and i will be checking back, oh so eager to hear about your days. i have missed you!

Oh sweet girl. My heart breaks for you reading this. I remember the deep pain of losing our first baby. A year and a half before Annabelle was on the way, I could have written this exact post. And looking back, two children and another miscarriage later, David and I would say that first little heavenly baby did more to draw our hearts closer to eachother and Himself than almost anything else in our marriage has to this day.
Praying for you for daily comfort and for hope in the One who sees and does all with our very best interests in mind. Love you friend.
