All day I couldn't help but think back to Mother's Day last year. We had been trying to get pregnant for a little over a year at that time and I was just super depressed, thinking we would never be blessed with a child. After talking with JP and a sweet friend of mine who had been through the same difficult situation, I decided I wouldn't even go to church on Mother's Day because it hurt too bad. This year was exact opposite of the dark, bleak, sadness of last year. It was a day filled with joy, light and happiness! All week long I had been singing "Great is Thy Faithfulness" to Jonathan while I fed him. For some reason God had put it on my heart. Guess what we sang at church on Sunday...you got it, that very song! Coincidence? I don't think so! I've always known that God is loving and faithful, but I've experienced that more this week than I have in a long time! Thank you Lord for all your blessings!

I understand about the nursery thing. Joseph is turning a year old this week and I still keep him with me during the service. Occasionally I have to step out when he starts talking or being a distraction, but I want him to grow up in church. And I love it that our entire family worships together!
wow, I'm trying hard not to cry. We didn't know all the details of your story in trying to have Jonathan but are so thankful for the Lord's faithfulness! We love you guys! I'm so glad that this Mother's Day was so perfect.
Don't you just love it when we see God's plan come to completion like having baby Jonathan at just the right time. (God's time). He is so precious and we loved having you here for the Mother ~ Daughter luncheon. We have missed you and are deeply saddened at the news of your mom and dad's upcoming move. What will we do without Marilyn and Jerre. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill but yes, God is faithful and he will provide. I Love you girl, and your mom and dad.
