Sunday Naps...
Well, sort of. Janie is growing out of naps--she's in the horrible in between phase where she likes to fall asleep at 5pm :(
I've mentioned this before but I am continually overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from our family and friends, as well as from people we don't know. Your prayers are felt and I can honestly say that there have been an abundance of blessings that have come from this situation we are in with baby Kevin. I have gone through a lot of different emotions but most of the time I feel gratitude for the hand of the Lord in the life of our family.Here are a couple of quotes I've been given that I keep meaning to share:
"No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, [God] will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is [against] His character [to do so]. He is an unchangeable being...He will stand by us. We pass through the fiery furnace; we may pass through deep waters; but we shall not be consumed nor overwhelmed. We shall emerge from all these trials and difficulties the better and the purer for them, if we only trust in our God and keep his commandments." --Jeffrey R. Holland
"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain." --Richard G. Scott
