When it's hard to stay positive...

That's when you need to dig deep, deep, down inside and really rely on your faith. That's all you have when nothing else seems to be going right.

Lately I feel like I put my hand out and no one is there to grab it. Like I'm alone in this journey. In all honesty, I've been feeling really defeated.

But God reminded me of his promises today. He promised that we ask and he will answer. He promised that if we trust in Him, he will make a path for us that is smooth and straight. He promises that if we trust in him he will grant us peace.

I asked God for another baby, and it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. At first I felt selfish. I have a beautiful, perfectly healthy son, and who am I to ask for another. I am one of God's children, that's who I am. And he wants us to come to him with our "shopping list" of things we want in our life. Who better to buy from

I hope that somebody else reads this and feels encouraged. If one thing can come of this post I want you to know that you are not alone in how you feel. But remember He always watches out over us and will always provide a sense of comfort that only He can provide.
