Life, Gender Reveal, and 17 years of blogging

It has been far too long between updates, hasn't it? I honestly think one of the hardest things about maintaining this blog is wanting to share everything with my readers, but having to be sensitive to the fact that there are a lot of things that aren't appropriate to share online. I'm not going to lie, in the last year, my family of origin has been going through some tough stuff, but it isn't the kind of stuff you can share with on the interent. While I have always wanted my life to be an open book before people, I know that I have to be cearful of the feelings and expriances of others. 

Honestly, the last few months have been a stressful as wonderful time. Wonderful because God has sustained our little one. After three losses, we grow more and more hopeful each day that we will hold this little one in our arms and get to see them grow up.

It's been hard because I've had to walk through a difficult season with my family. One that has required a lot of patience, forgiveness, grace, and wisdom. I often see my sinful nature coming up, and it has made me run to Jesus for strength, wisdom, and, yes, a lot of confession and repentance.
