Just found your blog, Becca. Your story has touched my heart. You just can’t go wrong when you keep laying it back in His lap. And just think – it might be kinda cool to conceive in Africa!

Trust me, I wanted a spring baby, not a child with their birthday 2 weeks before Christmas…. but it has been awesome. Christmas is already a special time for me and Dave and now it’s extra special to have Cooper’s brithday in Dec. Saying I trust you God in your heart and telling that to your brain are 2 very different things sometimes!
We miss you guys.

I understand what its like for God to put your plans on hold. I have assumed that every experience related to having a baby is important and makes up the greater story. God is working in the midst of all these things and that is real hope!

I have tears in my eyes after reading this. When we had dinner so LONG ago, I could see in your eyes the desire to have a baby. I remember that desire, and I know what its like to pray to God that he will give you that baby in that certain month so that your life will run exactly as you have planned it. I’m not going to tell you that God’s plan is always better (even though we both know it is) and I won’t tell you not to be dissappointed (because I sure as heck was!) But I’ll pray for you and your heart, and Andrew’s (Scott thought I was going nutso during the trying stages of getting pregnant, now he just knows I’m nuts) and I’ll pray for the people you will touch in Africa. You are such a beautiful person I hope you get the desires of your heart soon.

I will be praying for you. I have been praying that prayer for over 5 years now, and still trust. Some days are better than others!

Let’s talk Malaria when we see each other… I did not take medicine when I went. I will tell you why… So you could still keep trying! H

It will happen when the time is right. Trusting in Him is the right thing to do. BTW: I went to East Africa twice in the last couple years and did not take the maleria meds either time and I am still alive. Probably not smart, but didnt want to have the nightmares that come with them. What more info? Email me!
