I'm a preachers kid and a youth minister's wife. DH and I have been married for 7 years and we have Lainey, 3.5, and Evangeline (Evie) due in 3 weeks.

Sarah- Wow, I didn't realize you were that far along! I'll bet Lainey is excited to have a new sister to play with soon!

It is great to see such good news. Sorry I have ben MIA. I am at home visiting my mom for about a week. She is kicking my butt in the gym and helping me get in shape and get into a workout routine while I'm here. When I get home I will have to modify it a little because I won't have all the machines in the fitness room in my apartment. She is also helping me watch what I eat. I needed someone to push me and help get me started.

KM Congrats on your exam!
All the new people, hello and welcome.

rose- welcome!

sandstar- hope your exercise and eating changes go well!

Thanks Jashobeam. so far so good. I am really tired, but optimistic because the 3rd workout is supposed to be the worst in the case of not wanting to do it. I am already starting to see some definition in the sides of my waist, so I am definately still motivated. Today will be my 4th day working out.

Cool! Glad it's working for you

I'm so glad to read about others who are in prayer and believing God for a supernatural breakthrough concerning conception. MY motto is "if he can par the red sea... surely he can cause sperm and eggs to connect" I belive in His word. Is there anything to hard for God. the answer is no but it's the waiting process that is not so easy. stay at home of my precious 3 yr old daughter ttc #2 pretty much ever since she was born. it took us 3 3rs to conceive her. currently on clomid starting friday waiting for my miracle. my strong hearts desire is to give my husband a son and wants a boy badly * but as you mentioned God knows what's best.

Hi Everyone. I am somewhat new to this site. I have 17 month old twins that we had to do IUI's to get. I wanted to share what happened when we were trying to get pregnant. My mom was watching Joel Osteen on tv. I usually dont like the people on tv, but he is such a positive, down to earth guy. anyway, the Lord spoke to my mom and told her to have us pray every night for the babies that would sit around our table. My DH and I prayed that every meal and now we thank god for the two babies we have.

I was raised in Michigan going to a non-denominatial church. I explain it to people that if you have heard of it happening in a church, I have probably seen it.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know all of you!!

Welcome MomofTwins!

Welcome Momoftwins!

Just wanted to give you all an update on things here...
The property didn't pan out...it was WAY too remote of a location. On the job front...I have put my resume in for a sales position here at work. It is totally what I want to do and other than an insurance license I know I have the qualifications. Many people (including both of my managers) have put in an excellent recommendation for me. I am just waiting to hear about an interview.
I would covet your prayers on this. The Lord kind of brought this all on us at once, the same week my husband was offered a managment position with another store in his company. (He manages a service center that supplies home respitory to patients. He currently manages about 5 people and this would be about 18 people).

Thanks!

Sara- praying for both your job situations!

Would you ladies please pray for my cousin. I ran into him today and he is far from God. His parents both are Christians, but him and his siblings don't seem to have any interest in salvation. Thanks.

Sorry I've been MIA. My Nana lost her fight with Ovarian Cancer last Monday July 30th. I am hanging in ok and dealing better now. She was such a wonderful faithful Christian woman. I know she is in a better place with her savior. This sorta threw my diet out the window, but I will get back into it soon. I fractured a bone in my foot, so I can't do cardio until after it heals. Please pray for my family with this loss, and please pray for fast healing for me. Thanks,

Hi guys, its me again! Sorry I bailed out of the thread, these last few months have been so hectic. We moved to another state and we're still settling in.
I wanted to share a story that to me says you can make all the plans you want, but God knows his plan is best. It's a little long so....

DH and I were looking to move closer to our hometown. We were looking around 45min away and were decided that in NO WAY were we moving all the way back to town (we wanted a cushion of space). We had found several houses in the paper in a few surrounding cities the week before and thought it would be no problem.

Well the first day we looked for almost 12 hrs and nothing worked. The second day we looked for 6 hours and nothing worked. We looked in several cities and nothing. Well we were desperate so we drove to the hometown and looked around. Found a few places, but nothing great. On the way back to me parents' home I saw a brick house sitting off the road with a For Lease sign. It looked way too expensive but I called and left a voicemail anway.

The owner called and DH talked to him. The rent was $150 too much but when DH told him that, the guy lowered the rent to suit us. We have 3 cats so we were having a major issue. The guy says so what my wife and I have pets, why wouldn 't you? No pet deposit. Just the security deposit to hold it for over two weeks until we could move in.

The house is exactly what we needed. DH found a great job right in town in a field he enjoys. I haven't found anything yet, but I'm sure I will.

Sorry if I bored you guys. I wanted to say hello, and I hope I can be a part of this wonderful thread.

book- that's wonderful news!
