I find myself so much more dedicated to prayer since my time with Luke. I tend to have an on-going conversation with God a lot of days. A lot of the time it is because there are so many people I feel led to pray for. I also take the words "I'll pray for you" so much more to heart as I know the power of prayer when you are in a difficult situation. I am so thankful to have a God who cares to listen to our desires, needs, concerns and wants. This morning in Bible study the lady spoke of relationship not religion. Relationship is what we will have when we constantly converse with God and also take time to listen to him. I am trying hard to listen to him on the desire for a baby. We are all left with a desire for another baby but can't have any more of our own. We haven't yet felt led to any certain adoption agency. We did feel led in July to write a letter to a birthmother in the area who was looking for a family for her baby. She chose another family which we know was God's will. (We had been praying whatever was God's will in this situation.) We are still open for whatever God has in store for us whether it is to give us the closure that we will just be a family of four here on earth or open a door for a baby for us. We are just praying and listening.
Here is a picture of Hogan Sydney and me at the wedding in KC. Hogan was not thrilled to wear a tux, but Sydney was more than thrilled with her dress! It was on her birthday and made for a great party. She caught the bouquet and danced the entire night. Hogan was just happy playing Sydney's new Nintendo DS! It was really fun to be at a wedding and not a funeral! Our family has had too many of those this past year.

Love the beautiful picture. Hogan was handsome in the tux and Sidney looked like a bride.
I am happy that you have had some other things to attend or be involved in since all that you went through with Luke.
I will pray that it be God's will for your future with more children. You would be a wonderful mother once again. But it has to be in God's timing you know. I enjoy the blog so keep it up if you can. I am always inspired. love gloria
Susan-
You all look so good! I have loved talking to you lately. Thanks for listening and praying. It has been so good just to hear your voice. You are so encouraging to me. I pray that in time you will God will show his plan for another child. In time he will. It has been awhile since I have been on the blog thanks for keeping it up it means a lot.
Lots of love,
Christie
I recently read on a blog that 'the spirits of the children meant to be ours get to us no matter what'. Luke, and his beautiful spirit, made his way to you, but Heaven pulled stronger than earth, and now he is with Jesus. Though you may not be able to physically bring a new spirit and body to this world, Jesus is either preparing that spirit in the womb of another, or is filling the hole in your heart with peace that your earthly family will continue to be four. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Your blog continues to be an inspiration...
