Praising God through trials

This is the day that the Lord has made;
Let us REJOICE and be glad in it!
Psalm 118:24

If our God created this day, and everything that He creates is perfect, then how can I not rejoice and be glad for this day? Sure, we didn't get the results that WE wanted. But then again, it's not HIS plan for us! Sure, my due date would have been on my mom's birthday and it would have been so perfect. I had it all planned out how we would tell her. But, that was MY plan.

It's amazing how much better God's plans are for us. We don't know exactly what they are all the time, but just having faith in his promises and His amazing love is so much more than I can ever ask for. He offers the peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and that is so calming to my heart.

I am a little saddened that this IUI didn't work, but I know we will be okay. The fact that He has a better purpose for me is what keeps me going. I'm not saying I'm not gonna have another bad day, cause I am human after all, but today I have chose to be joyful and REJOICE that He has given me another day to be alive and I need to live this day serving and praising Him and sharing His love. We aren't promised tomorrow, and so many times we get caught up in the thought of "next time..." that sometimes it doesn't come. 

Thank you all for those that offered apologies. We are totaly fine with this and we are very content with where we are! =) Just keep us in your prayers! Ask the Lord to direct us where we need to go and to continue to give us peace and this joy that we have!

Today has been a great day at work. We had a fireman come in and talk to the kids about fire and then we went and explored his truck and listened to his sirens and horns. I have a blast with my babies big kiddos (NOT happy about this...) and they truly are the light of my life! I'm soo thankful for them and how they help to lift my spirits just by seeing their sweet faces! =)
