These past few weeks have been trying, but God has remained faithful. On the day of my Grandmother's funeral, Jay and I found out we were expecting. I kept looking at the positive pregnancy test, and all I could say was "Oh, My God!". I was so ecstatic and completely surprised. We had given up a couple of months ago on actively trying to have child and had even looked into adopting a child from foster care. Just when we gave up hope, we were reminded that God's plan always prevails.
However, last week I began bleeding, and we soon found out that I was having a miscarriage. We were upset, but still thankful that we could actually get pregnant. We'll keep you posted on our journey, and hopefully within the next couple of months, we'll be pregnant with Baby JRD. The song below has been my prayer these past few weeks and has reminded me that God always carries us when we no longer can carry ourselves.

Building 429 -- YOU CARRIED ME!!!

I've been so busy, I missed the reasons
I missed Your love, and I nearly missed it all
Still You've loved me, and You've healed me
You've given all and it brought me to Your cross
I stand only because You've given me grace to walk
Only because

I know the scripture, I've known the songs
I sang the words from my hollowed heart
But You've spoken softly through the storm
I've heard your voice, and I've felt the calm
I stand only because You've given me faith to walk
Only because .....

I know that you love me

I'll never doubt it

I can't live without it Your mercy has found me

I am astounded, I can't live without it
