Above All


       Hi ladies! This weekend has been such a luxury, so I figured I should take this treasured time of relaxation and post an update! Today and yesterday have been heaven… Jason and I have had a chance to rewind and kick back for once. We spent almost the entire day yesterday watching Netflix (we’ve been loving Bloodline), and today we went to church. He is back in Denver now for work, but I am at home just thankful to be here. When you travel for business as much as we do, you really understand that there is truly no place like home.

       This past month was our last hope for this time in our lives of having a baby naturally, and it looks like that is not in God’s plans right now. So, that means…. We are about to start our IVF journey!!! We’ve been waiting for this for what feels like an eternity, so although it is of course a disappointment that we couldn’t conceive naturally, it is thrilling to know that our hope is now renewed. Our dream is so much closer now!

        With the giant leap we are about to take, comes the reality that it is not a perfect world. There are countless things that can go wrong, and nothing is guaranteed. Right now, we’re just hoping for the best and praying that we won’t have to face the worst. Some of our friends recently received a negative blood test after an IVF round, which was so hard to hear about. I can’t imagine what they are going through, but I do have faith that any negative result is not for nothing (forgive the triple negative). All of those hours, emotions, and shots invested have proved that they can get through it, and that it will be even more precious when their blessing comes.


      I had to take a step back and remind myself that I must trust God through the beautiful moments, as well as through the worst ones. His plan is always the best one. He knows what our outcome will be, He knows why we are going through this. On Thursday I spent my quiet time making the challenging decision to trust the Lord and believe in His plan above all, and through all. God does not give his children second best, and he wants us to be happy. It’s time to step into his calling without fear! If we let Him lead us, we will always be blessed.

  1. Letting go and trusting isn't always easy. However, when we do let go and trust, THAT is where we grow in our faith and in Him. We're praying for the best for you both.
