Encouragement and Inspiration

So...after the emotional weekend I had, something happened today that just filled me up. :) Two things actually...First I have this daily Max Lucado calendar and todays inspiration just spoke to me, so here it is.

Why didn't Christ quit? Becasue the love for his children was greater than the pain of the journey. He came to pull you out. Your world had collapsed. That's why he came. You were dead, dead in sin. That's why he came. He loves you. That's why he came. That's why he endured the distance between us. "Love endures all things."

So I read that this morning and it really moved me...I shared it with Jeph and he said "thats powerful and is exactly what we needed to hear." This journey to kids and even through kids may be painful...but full of love and worth every bit of this crazy journey.

The second thing was I got to babysit a couple friends of ours little girl, Audrey she is almost 16 months and just pure joy. I spent the afternoon, evening with her and tonight Jeph and I got even more practice we had dinner with her and put her to bed. It was amazing so peaceful...I played with her, talked with her, rocked her to sleep...when Jeph got home we had dinner together and shared Audrey duty. We both looked at each other after we went to bed and agreed we felt so at peace with the whole day. We know thats exactly what we want to be doing with our lives...raising kids. I feel so great going to bed tonight and I know it's because through caring for Audrey I know my purpose in life, I know that staying home with kids is exactly(the only place) I want to be. I know God put that there.

Thank you God for an amazing day...I pray that you will bless our efforts towards kids. That we would have our own children soon...we are excited and can't wait to meet them and raise them. Thank you for putting that desire in our hearts.
