Batting 333

First let me start by saying how much I love and adore my husband. He always knows how to make me laugh!



About a week ago Brandon said something that makes me smile every time I think about it..

"You know that in baseball guys who hit 333 are hall of fame'rs" (or something close to that)



Brandon and I had a 7 week miscarriage last Wednesday. We had only know we were pregnant for 2 1/2 weeks and I had not felt good about this pregnancy. I had no symptoms and just did not "feel" pregnant like I did with the boys.



I am feeling much better now and know that the Lord has a plan for our lives and that I need to trust in his timing. So the thing is I know this (the plan thing) but it is sometimes hard to understand. I have been pregnant three times yet only have one child?? I have held two babies but only brought one home? It was during one of those WHY?? moments that Brandon pointed out the we could still be in the Hall of Fame if we were talking baseball and not babies. So, maybe I should start looking into this baseball thing...



My prayer is that I do not let the timing of this lose take away from the joy of knowing my Eli and seeing him grow and learn. That I do not torture myself with thinking about what Micah would be doing as his 2nd birthday draws closer.

I pray that I enjoy this season of giving and love with family and friends and celebrate what my Lord did for me in sending His Son to earth for my sin.



I have so much! Thank you Lord for your blessings on my family and your perfect timing in my life!!
