"For we were saved in this hope.
But hope that is seen is not hope.
For why does one still hope for what he sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see,
we eagerly wait for it with perseverance."
~Romans 8:24-25

About Us
- Jenn
- In God's timing, we learned we were expecting our first baby. We were thrilled beyond words to be expecting our Sweet Baby Tyler. In December of 2007, at 25 weeks, I went into premature labor, and Tyler was born on December 20, 2007. We had 6 amazing days to spend with our beautiful boy. We savored every moment, reading him stories in the NICU, including the Christmas story. Right then, he opened his eyes for the first time for his mommy and daddy...our best Christmas present ever. He went home to be with Jesus the next morning. We trust God with His plan, and rest in knowing that this is not the end of our story... and now, two years later, it turns out that it wasn't the end of our story. We are NOW thrilled to be expecting a baby girl, who is due January 9, 2010! If you are struggling, just know it is not over...this is not the end. Your story is still being written!

Wow! What an awesome blog! It is so neat to find a blog where you openly lay out your faith. You put me to shame. I commend you on your unconditional love and trust for the Lord, even with what you've been through. You are an inspiration and have shown me where I need some work. Thank you. Although I do not know you, I will be praying that the Lord will continue to lift you up. And I will pray for your sister, too. I want to share a song with you that really hits me everytime I hear it. It is from 4Him, called "Candle in the Rain".
Heartbreak come, steals the color from my sky,
Blue & white fade to black & gray,
Clouds collide, and tears fill up my eyes,
Storm winds steal the words I want to pray,
Deep inside of me there is a flame called faith,
and though the tear drops fall there is a choice I have made
Chorus:
I will dare to dream about tomorrow,
I will hold to hope through all the pain,
I will never surrender to the sorrow,
No, I will be a candle in the rain.
So I'll go on a light that's burning in the dark,
Reaching out to others all around,
And though the lightning strikes & the thunder rolls,
I have no doubt,
God is in control. (chorus)
Bridge:
I will trust that life is more than just what I see before me,
And a bright new day is up ahead,
Another chapter in the story. (chorus)
What a powerful song...I truly believe that it describes you. Take care.
