Before you start reading this post, beware it is long. If you read the entire post you will know what is going on majorly in my life right now. These are not little issues that I have dealt with, these are major things that I have spent so much time thinking about, praying about, and crying about. I am crying as I write this because it is just now that I realize though everything i've been through in life, I am truly Blessed!
If things in you life aren't going to way you've imagined give it to God! Believe me I know it is easier said than done, but when you truly do give it to God, you will feel a trumendous amount of weight lifted off of your shoulders and he will take care of everything!!
So in my last post at the end I said I would post about how God has been blessing Chris and I.
1st
Everyone knows that I have been having trouble with my health and have been taking Medication for Inslin Resistance. My case of Inslin Resistance is very different for most people's case because mine interfered with my menstral cycle. Starting back in December I stopped having periods and did not have one until April. This is not a good thing to happen to any woman who has been having regular cycles. Well the Dr. didn't find out what was wrong with me until February so that is when I started taking my Meds. I had a cycle in April, and June. It seems as if i'm only having one every other month. This can very well interfere with Chris and I having a baby, but I have given this to God and I know that if us having a baby right now is in God's will then we will have a baby. If it's not in God's plan for us to have get pregnant right now, no matter how much we try we won't. I will still praise God and know that one day our day will come, and I will wait patiently for that day!
2nd
Like I had mentioned in my last post I passed my test. I knew that I always wanted to work with kids, and that when Central became it's own city I wanted to work for it's school system. I have such a passion for the kids in Central and I know it's because I grew up in Central Schools all my life. I thought that only way for me to work there would be for me to finish college with a degree in teaching, but I knew I wanted a family more. God opened to door for me to have the job I want in the school system I want, without having to finish school first.
3rd
Chris and I have been talking about starting our family. Having a baby right now is in both of our hearts and God knows that. I know that we will be great parents, and I just see Chris being an awesome daddy!! With that being said we don't really want to live where we are living when we have a baby. It is fine for the two of us, but it's just not a place that I could see me bringing a baby home to. We do not have central heat and air, and all of the electricity wiring is very old. We didn't know what to do b/c I don't feel we should put having a family on hold just because of where we live right now. I talked with my mom and we decided that in October (pregnant or not) we are going to move to my parents house for 6 months counting October. This means that in Feb. we will find a house and start the paperwork process of buying it. This way by March we should have closed on a house and start moving.
At first I didn't know how I felt about this plan, but now I'm really excited. In the 6 months that we are at my parents we should save around $12,000. Not everyone's parents would let them do this for free, but my parents are being a huge blessing to us starting our family. When I look at mine and Chris' life together 6 months at my parents house is no big deal. I just Thank God that we have this chance to better ourselves.
Lastly
I am not writing this post to say that I am so holy and deserve all of God's blessings. God knows that I have done my fair share of sinning, and do not deserve anything from him. I Thank God for his mercy and forgiveness that he has given us. No one is perfect and God knows what is in everyone's heart, and if you just open the door and allow him in, the changes he will make in your life are so amazing!!!

Well I had a lot of posts to catch up on, so this will be kind of a long comment. Congratulations first on passing your test!!!! I'm so proud of you. The tuition program is an added bonus too! I loved your pictures from Florida. You and Chris make such a beautiful couple, and Emmy is adorable. You are still in my prayers about y'all starting your own family. Like you said, don't be upset if it doesn't work out immediately because it will work out when it is supposed to. God takes care of us like that. I'm glad that you and Chris have made steps towards getting a home. I know that leaving your own space for six months will be a sacrifice, but all good things take sacrifices in some shape or form. I'm so happy that your new niece was born healthy and cannot believe that in four short weeks, you'll have a fifth niece. Well I've lost my train of thought about what other comments I wanted to leave, so I'll just say that I love you and miss you! I can't wait for you to come visit!
I'm SO VERY proud of you for passing your test! YAY SIS!
Danielle, you have such a great head on your shoulders, both mentally and physically..HA! (of course)
Miss You already..
GOD IS GOOD..ALL the TIME!!
