Friday Faves

I always love when a friend shares something they love. I enjoy hearing about what friends are reading, what apps they are using, and what podcasts they are listening to. I listen to a podcast (I'll mention it in my faves list) where she asks her guests three things they are loving and three things they are reading. I thought it would be fun if I followed this format and share my reads and loves. I would love for anyone who is loving something right now to post in the comments or on social media. So, here we go...

Things I am reading:

Loving My Actual Life by Alexandra Kuykendall
**This book set off my summer of reset refocusing my attention to what matters to me and what I want my life to look like.
Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequest
**This book is a breath of fresh air; to be empowered to remove the busy title and reestablish rest in our lives.
Giddy Up Eunice by Sophie Hudson
**Sophie Hudson is the author of the BooMama blog and is absolutely hilarious. Her reads are fun. This book reminds us ladies that we need each other and the need for relationships with other women of all ages. She uses stories of ladies in the Bible to open our eyes to the blessings that lie in relationships between women.


Things I am loving:

The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey
**Jamie speaks with ladies who work in various fields talking about their passions and every day life. It's like two girlfriends chatting over coffee. Refreshing, inspiring, and fun.
IF:Gathering App
**I am a HUGE fan of the IF:Gathering ministry that Jennie Allen founded. This app is easy to use and has lessons that are quick and easy to follow.

Live Simply
Love Generously
Learn Constantly

Love & Blessings,
Meg

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

Grady's Story

Grady Steven Fish 7lbs. 3oz. 19 1/2inches April 25, 2009 4:45pm SURPRISE! Actually, I think absolute shock is more appropriate! This was me a week ago...happy at 36 weeks pregnant with not much happening. I thought for sure that I had at least 2 weeks left, if not four. I did, however, frantically run around town that day getting all the things I thought I needed to get just in case. Good thing I am a little neurotic and OCD because it paid off a few days later. I have had contractions on and off since I was 25 weeks pregnant or so. I never thought anything of them because they were so sporadic and fairly painless. Friday camearound and I noticed that I was having more contractions than usual. Grady was still moving about so I didn't worry much. Around 2:30pm that day I laid down because the contractions were coming on a little stronger and closer together. I called Scott to let him know and honestly, to see when he was coming home from work. Jackson was still napping and I wasn...

Joys and Sorrows

Ok,so I don't really know what to say. All I know is that writing is therapeutic for me and I think I need a little therapy right now. Where to begin? I guess with my doctor appointment. I went in for my routine 12 week check-up only to find out some grim news...the baby had no heartbeat and stopped developing at 10 weeks. No...this cannot be happening...again. There is just no way. God wouldn't allow this to happen again. Yet, it did. How am I feeling, you ask? Honestly, I don't really know. I am deeply saddened, angry,hurt, overwhelmed, fearful, determined, full of faith, lacking in faith, etc., etc. How should I be feeling? What should I do now? Do I sit and cry or do I go finish the errands I need to get done today? I am at a loss. What I do know is that less then a week ago I was experiencing such great joy. I watched my son enjoy the very things I loved as a child. I enjoyed time spent with my husband and with us as a family. I felt my toes in the sand, watched my fav...
