Fasting and praying...

Well I stayed up last night praying for a long time and I really felt like God was telling me to fast from secular music. Which I don't really listen to that much anyway, but I think it's important for me to worship all throughout the day! It helps me stay focused on really spending time with Him. I'm also really trying to remind myself to constantly be asking God for faith when it comes to my whole financial situation.... and I'm still trying to trust! Its just so much easier said than done! But I know that He is much bigger than all of it and I'm going to look back and wonder why I ever even worried! The garage sale is still in progress.... I'm thinking it will be around the end of May. Possibly the 29th and 30th? But I'm not for sure! I'm still working out the details! I recently got invited to my first and only prom! Which was a shock to me! But God provided a dress for $35! YES! Only $35 brand new! And it's gorgeous! So that was indication enough for me that I am meant to go! :) I'm really excited though! It's so sweet of my Jesus to help me make room for special things even in the midst of all this fundraising! He's too good to me! Exactly two weeks from yesterday is baby Jett's birthday! And we are all so excited! I can't wait to meet him! It's hard to predict how it will be though. I'm sure it will be such a sweet time of healing and celebration but I can imagine that it will be hard not to think about the day we met our precious Jace!
I still remember suiting up with Rocky and waiting for what seemed like FOREVER to go into the operating room! We were so sure he'd have dark hair and eyes like his big sister but when they finally shoved him over the sheet he was nothing like any of us could have predicted! ...He was better! Bright blue eyes and soft red hair! I fell in love with that baby the minute he arrived! He was absolutely perfect! I miss him so much it hurts. But God is still good. And I know I say that a lot but He just is. He is going to make it everything we need it to be! It's going to be amazing! Thank you guys for listening and taking the time to read! Keep praying!

"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy." (Titus 3:4-5)

  1. I think you're right Bethy. I think it will probably be a little bit hard just because we'll be thinking about the day we got to meet our baby Jace! I'm so thankful for you Beth and I'm so poud of your heart after God! I know he is so very proud of you too! I love you sis!!
