WHY? That one 3 letter word that can lead to so many questions & we are forever asking ourselves on countless occasions. So in my last blog we were devastated at the news that we were going to have to wait another month for the process we've been longing for, for so long now. While wondering Why wait longer? Why didn't they tell us the lab was closing earlier? Why us? Why now? Why is all of this happening? Well guess what I completely understand now WHY God was in control & had this plan for us for it to happen this way all along. You know sometimes you never get the answers to you WHY's in life. Sometimes you may get your answer in a day,week,month. Sometimes its years before you realize that's why God made this happen but he knew way before we did the events that we would be faced with in our daily lives to come. 

Little did we realize that just 2 weeks after asking ourselves these WHY questions over & over; We got out answer. This past week has been one of the hardest weeks I've been faced with yet in my life. Memorial Day, I had a Great Uncle pass in a terrible accident at his home, a cousin (that has always been like a little brother to me) have a freak accident at the River, family issues with 2 other members of our family in 2 sepearate situations, & we are struggling with infertility. You see everyone faces hard times & tough situations but you have to be bigger & stronger than those problems & know that God is with you every step of the way whether its with you for days,months, or years --always keep your faith in him. God will never put you in a situation he doesn't think you can handle. Our faith is being tested without a shadow of a doubt, but we will all grow from this & be closer to him. Through this I went back to a book I had purchased before during struggling times called Under God's Umbrella. In this book it tells you that "Into every life a little rain must fall, but from under God's umbrella we see the rain in a whole new light. In God's hands, a downpour of trials becomes a tool God uses to bring healing, growth, & new life." Please continue to pray for my family & their connecting families to each one of these situations. Pray for strength, guidance, patience, peace, hope, joy, courage, & most of all BELIEVE! You see God made us wait another month because he knew hard times were about to hit my family & if I had already started my medicine for treatment it would have been 10x more difficult with all of those hormones piling up to endure the week we just had to face. I know that our road nor theirs are over nor will the coming weeks,months, or even years be easy but I do know we are strong enough to get through all of these things together. So wherever you are & whatever your storm may be whether it be infertility, loss, an injured loved one, divorce, abuse, anger, addiction, brokeness, bankruptcy, fear, guilt, depression, death, chronic illness, or something else. You are NOT alone! God is with you & your family whispering messages to your heart & theirs that will change your world(s) forever if you only dare to BELIEVE!
