A New Vision

Today I am thankful and truly blessed! Until I started blogging, I didn’t realize how many people struggle with infertility issues or experience the loss of a child. Thank you God for blessing our family and giving us our beautiful baby boy! Many families struggle with finances and other issues daily but at the end of the day it’s the family time that really matters. This life is not about the things we can or cannot buy- it’s about enjoying each and every day with those you love. Last night Jaxson was fussy so I said a prayer out loud hoping that hearing my voice would put him at ease, he went right to sleep afterwards. He slept all night without waking 1 time for his paci- I even got up a few times to make sure he was breathing. Part of our nightly routine will be to say a prayer from now on. It seems like every Thursday night I’m packing our bags to go somewhere-it’s either a shower or a wedding all the time. Emmett and I have neglected finding a church in Hopkinsville because 1) we are never home 2) we just aren’t sure where to start 3) after Jaxson was born I’m really nervous about putting him the nursery where we don’t know anyone and 4) we are afraid of making people mad if we aren’t able to make it to the wedding/shower. It’s just impossible to make it to every event we have been invited to over the past several years, especially now with a baby. You can’t really understand how hard it is to travel with a baby until you have one and every event we are invited to requires traveling. My goal for our family for June is to visit at least 1 church in Hopkinsville: we will probably start with First Baptist since that’s where Jaxson goes to daycare. Since we don’t have a lot of family that lives close, I think finding a church family will be a great support system for us, help us grow in our relationship with one another as well as with God and will enable us to meet more people in Hopkinsville.
