His way is perfect.

"For You will light my lamp; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect."

Psalm 18:28-32

An Update

Scott and I have recently received results that indicate that we will be unable(or at least it is quite unlikely) to have our own biological children. We have found out that we are carriers of a genetic chromosomal abnormality.

This, in combination with some other infertility issues that we tried unsuccessfully to treat for the last year, indicates that the likelihood of us having our own children is very small. Even if pregnancy was achieved, the miscarriage rate would be very high, and/or the children would be at risk of having abnormalities.

We trust in the LORD and are thankful for His love and perfect plan for our life. Please pray for us, that we would be joyful and have peace in God's will, and that the Lord would be gracious and allow us to have children in whatever way He sees as best.


"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ..." 1 Peter 1:6,7

The LORD is good.

"I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, and none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned."

Psalm 34:1-3,8-10,22

We went to this boot shop where the boots are all hand/custom made. Some of them cost tens of thousands of dollars!!

It was a delight to spend so much time with Nick and Anita, as well as their little girl! Thank you for having me... I will never forget such a wonderful trip. :-)

Autumn Activities... :-)

\

One lovely autumn afternoon Scott and I went for a drive to Great Lakes Farms. While there we enjoyed the beautiful weather, picked apples, hiked through the corn maze and admired the pumpkins. The apples are sooo yummy and we are now enjoying them in pies and crisps! For some reason they are always better when picked fresh off the tree. :-)

Fun times with little Brock...

Breakfast time... :-)

Loving his bath...



Being goofy... :-D

G'night, sleep tight...

So happy! :-)

I had the privilege of caring for Brock S. (one of Scott and Becky's triplets) for 4 days this week while they are away on vacation. We had so much fun together! He was a very happy baby(most of the time! :)) and a delight to take care of! Thanks for letting me have him for awhile!
