Well, it's been another few weeks since the last blog. No adoption news at this time. That area of our life has been pretty much the same routine......wait....wait....wait....no new news. I am struggling with that lately but our minds have been on other things.
The last few weeks we have been busy.
July 26th: I completed the Waco Triathlon. It was difficult but fun. I was praying the whole time to just survive it! For that i am thankful. That same day we received the news of Jerry's Papaw's passing. He was 86 years old. We went to his burial in San Antonio last weekend. We spent a much needed weekend with the family. One thing we know for sure is that Papaw is in heaven and not in pain anymore. WE are thankful for that.
Tomorrow i will compete in the Temple Triathlon. Please pray for that.....
All this to say that God gives us things in our life to help us cope with other issues....to set our minds at ease. I truly believe that. Each day we get a little stronger. Of course i have some sad moments but I know that one day we will have a baby.
Please pray for Jerry in coping for his loss. He loved Papaw very much and it will be hard to see the future without Papaw in it. One thing is for sure. Jerry will be a better father to our child because of the things that Papaw taught him. A part of Papaw will always be with Jerry and in all of us.
Please pray for me....I need strength to cope with life at work and home. My mind is distracted and I am having trouble trusting that our baby will come soon. It is hard to walk into the completed nursery but yet have no idea when it will have our baby in it.......ugh!!
Please pray that Jerry and I will cherish every moment we have with each other and enjoy our life and all of our blessings.
That is all for now. May God bless all of y0u daily.
love,
Jenny
Blessed by your honesty. Will pray for your specifics. Sorry I missed you guys the other day! It was a rough day.. Have your stuff to return to you. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI hope the triathlon went well! I will call later to find out.
ReplyDeleteThinking of both of you. Love you.
Just couldn't get you off my mind today..thought I'd stop by and say HI and that I am praying for the 'right' time for all that you are praying and believing for! HE is in control - even when we don't feel like it...HE is! "Let not your heart be troubled or fear..wait patiently on Him".
