welcome to autumn my friends

Our journey begins at the sound of a bizzard buzzer. Three, Two, One and off they go. Down that windy autumn road. As the leafs russels through the trees, the faint smell of color leaves fill your senses. You start to smell the hot apple cider in your hand. Aww..what a refreshing new day it is. The wind blows right through that light jacket you have. Can you feel it? Can you sense it? Welcome to Autumn my friends.

Traffic Lights and me

I thought you ladies will appreciate this. Well, we have a behavior/award traffic light in our classroom with each of the children names on a stick figure. The stick figure goes up and down depending on the child's behavior. Ie) As the children do good they stay on the green light, as their behavior intensify they go in yellow, red etc. At the end of the week, if the children do well, they get a reward. After explain this system to the children, one of my students came up to me and said, "Miss Nina Where is your stick figure for the traffic light"? I respond, "Oh, I don't get one because I help you and our other friend make good choices". Gotta love the kids.

What does this verse mean to you?

So, I'm curious. What does this verse mean to you?

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness".

perseverance

My IF journey has not been an easy, but I must say that the Lord has been working on me through it. One things he has been teaching me is perseverance. Here is what the Lord been sharing with me.

We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God (Acts 14:22). This includes putting down our own personal goals for His goals. This has been extremely hard for me. My personal goal is to become a mommy. This has been in my heart for a very long time. I believe God does promise me that in the future, but for now he wants me to focus on Him and helping him in his kingdom. Has it been a breezed to go through? No. Have I been kicking and throwing tantrums? Yes (ok, not physically but mentally I have). But I have learned that the Lord is patient with me and has giving me grace to do it.

While go through perseverance the Lord has told me to keep my mind on these things:

1 Recalling the words spoken in the past to be about his promised he still has for me.
2 Don't forget how big God is.
3 Trust the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding but in all ways knowledge him and he will make your paths straight (Prov 3:5-6).
4 Keep in mind Rom 5:1-8
5 Remember the Lord's plan will ALWAYS stand firm forever(Psalm 33:11).

ticker-

I been keeping track of my weight since I have been doing Zumba. I thought it would be a good idea if I made it into a ticker (I guess it is more for my benefit then you ladies would want to see).

Summer

Summer
Summer is a time of peace and relaxation. It is a time to stop and smells the roses. It also involves planning vacations and time to have fun in the sun. As you know, summer is drawing near and I'm looking for some ideas as to where we can go on vacation. Maybe you bloggers can help us choose as to where. We would like to go somewhere warm (possibly near a beach), mountains, or somewhere historical. Do you have any idea yet? Do you know what you are planning for the summer? Anything fun?

funny ttc letter

I like to share with you a letter that one of the ladies on the PCOS board wrote:


"Dear Body,
I respectfully request that you please stop messing with me. Creating sore boobs and "implantation cramps" when we are not pregnant is mean and misleading. I promise to stop putting junk food in you if YOU promise to stop teasing me.
And while we're on this topic, could you please send AF? That way I can stop spending money on pregnancy tests.
Also, while we're talking, could you please ovulate in a timely fashion this month?
Thanks,
Management"
