Wings
But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31
This verse has helped me through SO many things in my life.
My parents divorce, high school, relationships, marriage, and my 3 miscarriages.
It is with my hope in Christ that I have been able to be comforted.
I have been surrounded with so many great friends and family members.
Just a few shout outs if I may...
On the morning of my miscarriage I had a friend offer to come with me to watch my son.
I had her come in to the ultrasound room with me. She was there when the ultrasound tech said
there was no heartbeat. When we left the U/S room, she cried with me. She stayed with me through my doctors appointment and she has continued to be so amazing. I am so thankful for you Krystle!
My mom~ I could write a book about how I love you. Thank you Thank you Thank you, for everything you are, everything you do and for everything you have taught me. I love you so much.

I am going on a cruise in July for my mom's 50th birthday.
We are SO excited!
I was really excited to be pregnant as that was a great excuse to be chubby.
Well now, I have no excuse.
Yesterday I was determined to work out!
And I wanted to work out hard.
I think I wanted to release some of my emotions.
And what better way than through excercise.
Some people hit the bottle.
I hit the pavement.
I met up with my sister and we power-walked 2 miles! (go us!)
Then we did about 15 minutes of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.
I say 15 minutes not because I pooped out, but because my son threw an enormous fit that I wasn't paying attention to him.
I also packed away ALL of my maternity clothes.
I will admit I was still wearing some on my fat days.
Now I have no excuses but to squeeze into my REAL jeans.
And start working on my muffin top.
I am determined!
I also want my body to be a more healthy dwelling for my next baby.
So I am throwing in all my anger, frustration, dedication, strongwill, and hope...
into being more fit and healthy.
So here's to a more healthy us!

There are days where I feel his love wrap around me and I feel strong.
There are days where I feel lonely and weak.

I love you more that you probably know. God has big plans for you my dear friend. I hope and pray you feel His love today!
Not sure how I found you, but I'm glad I did. I, too, have had 3 miscarriages (in the last year and a half) and we just found out we are pregnant again. It wasn't supposed to be. My husband was supposed to "get fixed". Too late. Ugh. At first I was angry. Not at my husband. I was angry with God. What is He doing? Why? I don't think I can handle this again. But God is faithful. I am finding solace in Him. Zeph 3:17 brings me comfort over and over...
"The LORD your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with his love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."
I pray that He would be glorified.
Nice to meet you... Cory =)
Love in Christ,

I did create the piece "God's Delays" (that blog is my creative outlet!). Interestingly enough (or not so) that piece came after my first miscarriage. It was to signify losing my 3rd child. Now I am seeing it as God having 3 of my babies with Him. God is cool like that.
"Sticky dust"? Tell me more!
Praying for you too,
Cory =)
