Day 1 of Thankfulness

-

November 1, 2018 


Today is the first day of November! What are you thankful for? I am going to try my best to make a post for 26 days in a row. Yes, Thanksgiving is a little early this year, but that's okay. I've done this in the past, but I wasn't very successful. I know we should always be thankful and not just around Thanksgiving time. However, it is good to take time to stop and think about it. 

Day 1: Today I'm thankful for: 

~Anniversaries
~Attributes of God
~August
~Ark

~Anniversaries- I am thankful for my wedding anniversary! God has given Scott and I six wonderful years.  Over the course of our marriage God has brought us through many things. Marriage takes work but it's so worth it! I love doing life with Scott and I'm so thankful God has brought us together.!! We have had so much and have made so many memories! Looking forward to many more anniversaries!


Our Wedding Day 


I'm also thankful for the anniversaries of our miscarriages. Yes, you read that right. Why would I be thankful for something that's so hard? I'm thankful because every baby is a gift from God. Even though I wasn't able to meet my babies, they are still a gift from God. 


~Attributes of God-I'm thankful for the many attributes of God. In college we had to read and do a Bible Study called, "Behold Your God" by Myrna Alexander. If you haven't had the chance to do this study, I highly recommend it. We studied these 11 attributes:

-God is Love
-God is Supreme and Sovereign 
-God is All-Powerful 
-God is Good
-God is Omniscient
~God is All-Wise 
~God is Omnipresent 
~God is Immutable 
~God is Faithful
~God is Holy
~God is Just 




~August-I'm thankful for this month, it's one of my favorites! 
Why? It's our anniversary month, baby nutter's bday, and the start of fall! 

Our 6th anniversary get away!

~Ark-Scott and I were able to visit the Ark Encounter which was amazing! If y'all have the chance to go, I recommend it! Noah's Ark is a story that most people have heard. It's one of my favorites for a few reasons; Noah's amazing faith and God's promise. I think of Noah's faith and how strong it must have been for him to obey God and build this ark. I'm sure others made fun of him and yet his faith didn't waiver, he continued to build the ark. The people didn't listen to Noah (except for his family) and they were all destroyed. However, after the flood, God put a rainbow in the sky as His promise to us to never flood the whole earth again. I'm thankful God always keeps His promises!


Scott and I were able to visit the Ark Encounter in Kentucky this year.

Our 1st Miscarriage

The Story of our 1st miscarriage with Baby Nutter I am ready to share my story about having a miscarriage. They say there is healing in sharing.  What is every little girls dream? To grow up one day, get married, and have a baby. The day came when I got married, I couldn't wait to start a family! With much prayer Scott and I thought we were ready to start a family. We  had been trying for awhile and it didn't even seem hopeful. Every-time that   time of the month came around I would be sad that it didn't happen, time and time again. After what seemed like forever, I gave up on that dream of being a mom.  ~The day we found out our happy news~       I remember the day that we found out we were expecting. It was in the very beginning of December. I had finally talked my husband into letting me buy a test. He did not want me to be disappointed again. I was so nervous to even take the test even thought I was certain this time! I had waited long enough and the time

Our 2nd miscarriage

          Christmas 2017 will always be a day to remember.  That day was filled with so much sorrow and yet I received the best gift ever. What? How is that possible?  Grab a cup of coffee and let me share our story with y’all. Our Baby's precious name        When Scott and I knew that we were expecting, we had a wave of many different emotions. We experienced great happiness, joy, fear, worry, and the unknown future of this precious baby. I wanted to be prepared as we had experienced a miscarriage before. Read about our first miscarriage here if you haven’t already:     http://jenny-s-journey.blogspot.com/2015/05/miscarriage.html?m=1 .   I knew that God was the only one who could see the future life of this baby. God would know how many days or weeks the baby would grow, if the baby would make it full term, and if there would be  any compilations. I didn’t want to have to experience another miscarriage, this has been a fear of mine for a while. However,

Blogmas Post #3 There are only 22 days left until  Christmas!  The question for you today is:  Do you have an ornament that's special to you personally or as a married couple?  I love decorating the tree each year, its one of my favorite things to do! I looked at all our ornaments to see which one was the most special to us, I found two of them!  The first one is this ornament. It was given to us as a wedding gift. I ordered a picture small enough to fit in it.  The second one is this ornament. It came from my most favorite store in the whole world!!!!! If you aren't from Michigan, you probably have no idea what store I am talking about. Michigan is known for many things, one of them being a Christmas town with the world's largest Christmas store! If you ever go to Michigan, I encourage you to go to the town of Frankenmuth! While there, go and visit Bronner's, it's the Worlds largest Christmas store! They have every ornament you could
