Wow it really has been a long time!

Between post that is. We have been so busy, and I have a ton of pics I would love to share with you. A couple weeks ago we took the Juniors (3rd-6th grade) kids to Camp in Michigan. It was such a blast. We have always enjoyed helping our youth pastor out by taking them. There was a total of 15 in all. The speaker was great and the Lord worked in all of their lives.
Then last week with 3 hours notice I took my Granny to my great uncles funeral in Arkansas. Which was a very fast trip.
This week we are up in Grand Haven, Mich. a dear couple from church invited us to spend time up here with them at their condo. It has been such and encouragement and blessing to spend this week with them. Bella has taken her first boat ride... she LOVED it... May I add that my camera lcd screen has gone out, so I have no idea if the pictures we took are going to be any good. Talk about going back to the stone age...LOL!
Well that is our update... what has been going on with you?
Well there is the update on us

Are we going to be Rained Out??

Today we are going with some of the children from preschool to Indiana Beach. Its looking like there's going to be some storms. I sure hope it clears out!

A huge undertaking... did I say HUGE!

Well, it is now very final.... I feel the commitment even stronger when its being posted. We are going to start "A walk to Remeber" in our county! I have a huge list of 'to dos' and lots of questions ect... but I know that its what we are suppose to do. As well as starting support group here in our community for Miscarriage/Infant loss. Still all in the planning process, but I am wanting to ask all of you to pray for us and about this event. I want it to be such a blessing and help to all of us!
Good night for now,
Michelle

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for....
A God that Never Changes
A Loving Husband
My daughter and the Joy that she brings.
My church family
Friends who are striving to please the Lord in all they do.
And many more things... these are what the Lord has laid on my heart today!

And since it has been forever....

I was just trying to catch up on some blog reading and I looked at mine, well it has been awhile.
Things here have been a little crazy trying to recover physically and emotionally. We did have good news from the Dr. that all of the losses may just be related to insulin resistance. We are praying for the Lords guidance to know what to do from here.

I am wanting to start listing blessings every Thurs. If any of you have a cleaver name, I would appreciate your input! I am thinking "Thankful Thursdays"
I will post above separately from this posting.

I want to thank all of you for your cards, emails, prayers and words of encouragement. I love you all and thank God for giving me the opportunity to get to know you all.

Love,
Michelle

Our Precious Five

The title says it all...
At the begining of this year we found out that the Lord has blessed us to call another little one our precious. We are thrilled at the miricle of life and the Lords faithfulness.
Monday we went in for an ultrasound and found out that we were having another Glory Baby. God is so good and faithful. He has given us so much grace. Yes there is definately grief and a huge feeling of loss, a total loss of a dream to hold, have, enjoy a newborn agian. Everyone knows how sweet they are! And for that I ask your prayer. That is the biggest loss to me. Anyone how has known me knows that I have always wanted a big family. Darrell and I always said that we wanted to have 5 children, but we were going to trust God for His will to be done in our lives. Today I started reading a book that I read in middle school, called Absolute Surrender. Its been amazing... I want to leave you all with a phrase that gripped me.

" If God allows the sun to shine on you moment by moment, without intermission, will God not let His life shine on you every moment? And why have you not experienced it? Because you have not trusted God for it, and you do not surrender yourself absolutely to God in that trust."
" Such a life has two sides - on one side, absolute surrender to work what God wants you to do;on the other side, to let God work what He wants to do."
