Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me, and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."
How can I argue with that?! I can't. I'm happy to say that I don't think I ever thought "why did God do this TO me..." I know I've wondered why, but I don't think I've ever felt like taking Eli was something that He did TO me. Aren't we all His children anyway? Obviously this is part of His plan for me and I do have hope for the future.
I can say that I am starting to have more "up" days than "down". I could truly enjoy our crazy weather today. We got out in the snow again today. I had forgotten that snow has a scent, and I like it! I felt the cold on my nose and cheeks, it was really nice. The crunch under my feet as I chased the kids and the sting of my fingers when I took my gloves off to take some photos... all things that I made a conscious effort to enjoy today.
So, tomorrow will be yet another day and I am going to try to enjoy it to the fullest of my ability - YAY!

Kristi,
I had no idea you were Jenna's secret mommy. Were you the one who sent Mason the blanket? For the longest time he wouldn't sleep without it and still gets excited when he sees it! :)
Small, small world. When this first happened I posted on the August 08 board on BabyCenter and one of the moms said there is this blog you should read... it was yours. Small, small world.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. You are able to express so many things in words that I am not able to. I truly feel that God is speaking to me through you. I am so glad ya'll got out and enjoyed the snow!
