A Few Questions

The other day I got in my car and the radio was on the country station. {not sure why, because I rarely listen to country these days.} This song by Clay Walker was on and this is the line I immediately heard,

"And how can two people who've built a loving home
Try for years and never have a child of their own
And somewhere out there tonight there's a baby no one's holding tight"


Umm HELLO. That got my attention pretty quickly.
So I continued to listen to the rest of the song.
Here are all of the lyrics.

Clay Walker A Few Questions Lyrics:
How in this world can we put a man on the moon
And still have a need for a place like St. Jude's
And why is one man born in a place where all they know is war
And a guy like me has always been free
And how can two people who've built a loving home
Try for years and never have a child of their own
And somewhere out there tonight there's a baby no one's holding tight
In need of love, to me that don't add up

But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean to second guess you or criticize what I don't understand
These are just a few questions I have

And why did my cousin have to die in that crash
A good kid only 17, I still wonder about that
It seems unfair to me some get the chance to chase their dreams
And some don't, but what do I know?

I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean to second guess you or criticize what I don't understand
These are just a few questions I have

Why do I feel like you're hearing these prayers of mine
When so many outta be ahead of me in line
When you look down on me, can you see the good through all the bad
These are just a few questions I have



The timing of this song could not have been more perfect. This was the day that I learned that our first IUI had FAILED. All I could think about was, WHY God Why. We went through so much last month. I'm exhausted already from counting days for the next month and going to more doctors appointments.
So yeah I have a few questions of these things I don't understand. But I do know that He is the God and creator of this universe. He is ALL knowing and He does have all the answers. He is all I need. I also hope that I can look back on this whole journey and see that we struggled "well" and glorified Him through it all.


My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. (Psalm 62:1-2)

So as we begin another long month, I'm praying for peace, patience, guidance and faithfulness. The Lord has already given me an unexplainable peace so far which I'm so thankful for.
Now if I can just get through the weekend... Nothing reminds me more of how infertile I am than Mothers day coming up. So instead I will just have to focus on my wonderful mother.

Music Monday!

So I plan on doing these maybe like once a month because I keep forgetting, but seriously I have a new favorite band at the moment! They are:  Mumford and Sons. I found them a few months ago and can't quit listening to their album.
Folksy, Irishy, bluegrassy. I just can't get enough of them. I really think I should have been Irish because I'm obessed with irish bands. {i know, weird}

You can listen to a song here: Its called The Cave.

If you like it, you can listen to all their songs on grooveshark and the pandora station is quite nice too!

The album is called Sigh No More. Another one of their more popular songs is Called, "Little Lion Man." It is great, but I highly suggest listening to the edited, radio version!

Anyways, hope you enjoy!Happy Monday.

Music Monday!

So I completely forgot last week to do this.

For today I want to introduce you to The Shins. I just recently discovered this band and I really enjoy their sound. They aren't new, just new to me!

Style: Folk-pop
Artist: The Shins
Album: Oh, Inverted World
Title: New Slang

Listen here if you would like:  http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/New+Slang/1Vtr0D . It's great chill music, probably not the greatest workout music. Very enjoyable though. One of my new faves for sure!

Happy Monday. Maybe this will make it a bit more enjoyable!

GrooveShark

I love music. I love Itunes, I love Pandora, I love my ipod. I love finding new music too. I may or may not watch vh1 "jump start" in the mornings to see if I can hear a new song. Who knows?
All that too say, I have found a NEW love.
It's called GrooveShark.  It is much like pandora, except you get to choose what you want to listen to. You can make playlists to your liking. It's amazing you should try it out. Oh and the best part, it's all FREE!
So go try it out.
I'm also thinking about posting a song of the week. Please leave me a comment if you think that would be something you would enjoy or like!
Thanks and Happy Thursday!

"I Will Rise"

We sang this song in church on Sunday and then I heard this song on my way home from work today. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about this day! Its absolutely beautiful. Just think- No more Pain! How exciting!

This version is just a slideshow of pics, because I'm not sure if there is a real video for it. If there is I could not find it.
Enjoy, let me know what you think!




2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Have a Blessed Day!
