The only reason why I attempted to blog in 2005 was because I could not sleep. The reason I could not sleep was because my mind was so cluttered and I was going through a period of pain and stress. I needed an outlet. Like I said in my first post I poured my heart out in cyberspace, not daring to make it public, i kept it under wraps, even from David.
As we are approaching the start of our 7th year of marriage, I remember great times and a deepening love for each other. I also remember 5 years of struggles, trying to conceive. It was a real roller coaster ride but through it, there are 2 constants in my life.
God.
And David.
I am still on that ride but I think the roller bit has passed and I have just begun the coaster part. As I journey along this ride with David, I am certain that God is ever present. I am also reminded that my prayer has already been answered in the form of an understanding husband. I have prayed and am thankful that David has chosen to walk closely with God and with me. God is all that matters because without Him there is no meaning. In Him, even our struggle has meaning.
This journey has brought us closer to Him. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want it any different because I have found a joy and a peace that comes from Him. I may never have been blessed otherwise.

Tracy, I am glad we all had a chance to meet up recently. The past few weeks has been very good in terms of renewed friendships. I look forward to greater testimonies - those that even you can't imagine at this time ... but it's coming.
I am blessed by hearing about your joy and peace in God. We don't always understand the pain that God allows in our lives but like you said, "In Him, even our struggles have meaning." May God's peace continue to sustain you. It has been fun to meet up again after all these years.
What a inspiring post... didn't your hubby read this? Thanks for the encouraging post.
