Wow! Thank you so much, Tabitha, for the award but most importantly for your kind post. What a blessing!
When I entered the blog world a little over a year ago, I started looking for other women traveling down the road of infertility. I immediately discovered there were two types: those with hope and those without. And not just any kind of hope but the hope that only comes through Jesus Christ. Those precious women sought the Lord and His guidance through every step. I am happy to report most of that small group I began following then are now pregnant. And while I still check in and pray for them, I knew I needed to find another batch of “friends traveling along the infertility trail.
And I found Think (+) Positive. Tabitha’s love for Christ, her husband and her hope in the Lord to provide was evident immediately. Thanks to her list of blogs, I’ve found new friends to follow. The Lord encourages us to fellowship one with another but we do it miles apart through our blogs. Thank you Lord for such a gift.
Now I have to pass on the award. So I decided to pass it along to a dear friend but a new addition to the blog world and not at all (I mean, seriously, not) related to infertility.
It’s Fanny at So Now You Know.
She knows how to make fabulous lemonade when life gives her buckets full of lemons!
Fanny taught me to see This Day in a new way. We all know this is the day that the Lord has made and we should rejoice and be glad in it.
But we don’t really do that often.
We think, not today. This is not the day to rejoice. Another day when things are not so bad. When things are the way I want them to be. When the world seems right again.
And that is a lie.
As Fanny would say, He didn’t make a mistake. He doesn’t need a do-over. THIS is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.
She’s a big part of the reason I started my Gratitude Friday posts. The one thing in this world I wanted and still want is a child. And yet, so far, that is not in the Lord’s plan for our life. I saw our path with that proverbial fork. To be grateful for what the Lord has given me or to be resentful of what He hasn’t.
Easy choice there. At least to me. And I learned that thanks to Fanny and her testimony.
Fanny is hilarious and my only friend taller than me. I won’t lie. I don’t particularly enjoy that she’s taller than me we’ve managed to work around that issue. I could spend (and have spent) hours talking with her. We share a love of high heels, Bible study, bold-faced honestly, analyzing every thing and every one, all things Justin, Edward, Sookie and Taco Bell. Friendship built on those kinds of truths is destined to withstand the winds of change (name that band!).
Thank you again Tabitha!
