Fertility update

I figured I should give you gals an update on my infertility. My first round of Clomid failed. I just got done taking my second round of Clomid and it was looking very postive. I took the shot 2 days before Thanksgiving and now I have to wait until 2 weeks to see if I'm pregnant. So, I test on Dec 11th. I hate waiting. I would rather know if I am or not. I have a feeling that I'm not..So please pray! Thanks

Adult Fitness Test

So, I was reading an article in a magazine and I came across this article. It talked about how the public schools do a fitness test (known as the President's Challenge). Well, it goes on explaining that adults can take the challenge. As adults, you can see how you add up against avg people for your age. I thought this was interesting, so I posted it.

I think I'm going to try this out.

Update: Praise God

Well, I meet this awesome lady the other day, and all I can say is that, "It was just a God Thing". We relate to each other so quickly. I learned that the doctors told her that she would NEVER have kids, and today she is here with 3 wonderful daughters. It just shocks me. It something to hold on to..to know that what God says in Jeremiah is true (For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future-Jeremiah 29:11).

Trip to Mass

Sorry that I didn't post this sooner, my life has been a emotional roller coaster; but atlas, I have included some picture from mass:



<-This is our neighbor flower. Carolyn is our beautiful model showing us how huge this flower is! I think it is a hibiscus flower..am I right?











<-This is me at the Hard Rock Cafe in Conn. It took awhile for my mom to get how to take the picture (she is technology challenge..but I still love her!!) My mom took me to play Bingo. No, I didn't win, but got to meet some interesting people thou!













<- And how to end a week without visiting the mall for some Dipping Dots Ice Cream..umm.. I got Banana Split Ice Cream. :o)












P.S images of us at Six Flags will be uploaded soon ( I have to get them from my mom and my sister)!

Praising God

I just want a chance to Thank God.
Today at church (we just started attending this church because our old one closed), God spoke to this wonderful women and I was caught by total surprise. She talked about how we need to pray for women who can't have children. This shocked me because in all my trials of suffering threw IF, nobody..I mean nobody EVER stood up and recognized that we should pray for others who are dealing with IF..I was just lost for words. I just sat there, baffled and cried silently in my seat.

I don't know if you ever felt this way, but I knew it was from God and that he is comforting me in this tough time. just to know this..wow..no words can express how I feel.

So..Thank you God..You know what we need..and its just right on time..

Camp

my friend Andrew
Rebecca (our waitress)


So, camp was great! One of my campers receive Christ and another one of my campers was so intrigued about God. She wanted to know more about him.
I came home with two bee stings and a burn on my arm. It is healing well tho.
Just to be at camp, once again was amazon. It change so much. They added a worship every morning to the schedule, I learn the proper way to Cup Stack and I learned about Geo-cashing (which I want to do here..Just trying to find out locations here in town). Also, for the first time they had 50's night (to represent Highland Retreat Camp's 50 Anniversary). That was a blast! We were taking into a van and drive down to the lower camp and into a pavalin. We had a waitress take our order at the drive thru and then we ate inside. Another waitress on roller skates (my friend Rebecca) deliver us our food (burgers, chips, pickle, and soda).

Here is one of the new songs I learned at camp. Oh its so beautiful. It;s not on youtube, but I did find the lyrics. Here they are. Enjoy!:

Water Fall On Me

by Jonathan Reuel


O my savior I give you glory, My redeemer my God and king.

There is no one oh so holy, Like the one who sets me free.

I can’t think of anywhere anywhere I want to be more than with you

And I can’t think of anything anything I would rather do than give you glory

Come my savior on the clouds, Holy spirit speed the hour

I will shout out loud the message

“freedom is coming and the kingdom is now”

Let your rain come down all around, Let the thunder sound shake the ground

Let the waterfall pound breaking down, All the lies you found under me

Let the sightless see let ‘em see, Set the bound ones free, set um free

Water fall on me water fall I have sought your heart hear me call

O my savior I give you glory, My redeemer my God and king.

There is no on oh so holy, Like the one who sets me free.

I am here to speak the message, Tell the truth that will set you free

I proclaim freedom to the captives, Freedom to you in Jesus name

You can bow ,before the master, Find your shelter under his blood

You can come and be forgiven, Carried along in the crimson flood

Let your rain come down all around, Let the thunder sound shake the ground

Let the waterfall pound breaking down, All the lies you found under me

Let the sightless see let ‘em see, Set the bound ones free, set um free

Water fall on me water fall I’ve sought your heart hear me call

O my savior I give you glory, My redeemer my God and king.

There is no on oh so holy, Like the one who sets me free.

Let your rain come down all around, Let the thunder sound shake the ground

Let the waterfall pound breaking down, All the lies you found under me

Let the sightless see let ‘em see, Set the bound ones free, set me free

Water fall on me water fall I have sought your heart hear me call

Psalms 84-thoughts for the soul

ThinkOnITDevotions: Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You. (Psalm 84:4 NKJV) Staying focused on God no matter what’s going on around you causes you to see things from a different perspective. When you remember God knows what He’s doing, you can praise Him, even while going through a tough trial in life. David had plenty of trials in his life. If David could praise God in the middle of his trials, surely we can too.
What are you experiences with God when you were going through a tough trial? Did you praise God?

Trash happens??


Well guys, the most funnest thing happen tonight. You see Luke, our neighbors, and I were walking home from a nice long walk and something interesting happen when we reach our house..... My neighbor tacks our trash can..That right!! He just tackled it like a football player..just randomly!! out of no where comes our neighbor..and next thing we know, he on top of our trash can!!! It was so funny!! you should have been there!!

A walk to the park...

I have to explain this picture...So, Kim and I went for a walk to James Street Park and while we were walking around the track, a cute little dog followed us. I texted Luke and told him..we have a dog now!! :) but alas, we came to a fork in the road. He (the dog) chose the right path..I tried to convince him that the left path was way better, but he did he listen?? NOOOOOO... He left us for another couple! How rude!

On our walk we came across the world most largest worm....(okay okay..it was not the largest..but you have to admit..it is pretty HUGE!!!)

So, out of request from a friend, I put up pictures from my first baskets that I made in a basket class. I went to the class a couple of Saturdays ago. It was fun. The baskets we made were for breads. I opt to put fruit in mine :) Just because I can!! :) It was made from some ragweed stuff and other stuff I have no idea what it is..LOL. enjoy!

Discussion: Favorite Child hood memories/Camp memories?

So, as I was doing my devotionals this morning, God laid on my heart a camp memory that I long forgotten. Wow. It was incredible. So here it is:
I was a camp counselor for 8-11 years olds and each cabin was given a scripture to memories and perform on stage. We were given 2 Peter 1:3; which reads, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life & godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory & goodness".
Some cabins perform plays, some cabins song it, and others acted it out. Our cabin decided to rap it. That right..we dressed up as "gangstas" and rap 2 Peter 1:3. It was so funny! At the end, we had Carolyn yelled, "Run, the cops are coming" and we ran off stage!!

So, Whats your favorite childhood memories or Camp memories?

oo..a quizy quiz:What American accent do you have?

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

Challenge topic #1

Here is the challege topic:
If you could go back to any age again, how old would you want to be and why? What age would you least like to be and why?

If I could go back to any age again, I would want to be 15 years old. I didn't have a license, but my friend laura did and we went EVERYWHERE! I remember when I had so much fun and freedom and didn't have any big responsiblities (besides helping ass't coaching a soccor team). The age I would least likely to be is 12 years old. I was chubby, had the most dorkest classes, and got beat up and spit on by my brother. Needless to say, I didn't enjoy it much.


--geez..some ppl make this hard work!!
