*Quotes That Stick*

I saw this quote today and it's exactly what I needed...

"Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one's thoughts.” 

-Elisabeth Elliot

I know that our trying to become parents and our adoption process is completely in the hands of my Father in heaven. I know that when we are supposed to become parents he will make it happen for us. He knows when, how and where our little one is going to come to us. I just need to make sure that I am "willing to bear uncertainty", our path through adoption will most likely throw us some curves and lead us through some hard times (ex: adoption placing not going through, financial struggle, long waiting periods, doubt). And I need to make sure that I am "lifting my heart to God about it whenever it intrudes on my thoughts", I can do this through prayer prayer and more prayer. He knows what we are going through and he expects to hear from us about it. He's there to help us, prepare us, comfort us and guide us! And I will most definitely being "carrying with me the unanswered question(s)"... Where? How? When... when??? And I need to be able to "bear" that question while it is constantly in my head, consuming my thoughts.

So, this is me, recognizing once again that God has a plan for me. I will continue to wait... Wait and pray :)

*Quotes That Stick*

"A little white lie don't mean anyone no good"

- Lyrics from the song "Drinkin' Dark Whiskey" 

Written by: Chris Stapleton & Michael Henderson

Preformed by: Gary Allan 

I like these lyrics, how they replace "harm" with "good". Yes, I totally agree that a tiny white lie like saying, "It's good", if someone asks you how dinner tastes and really it's horrible, but they spent a while making it and you don't want to hurt their feelings. Or the famous question and response, "Does this make me look fat?" "No, not at all", it really does, but who would admit it?? BUT, I do know that people take "little white lies" way too far sometimes! And I, personally, am not a fan of liars. In a way, these lyrics remind me not to ever take a little white lie too far.

"Love is the only thing that matters. Fall in love... Fall in love with as many things as possible."

I love this quote... It's my new motto in life! Don't you think it's a good one

*Quotes That Stick*

I got this quote from McCall & Eric's blog.  I thought it was very appropriate for these pictures that I absolutely LOVE!

"It is the soldier, not the poet, who gives us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who gives us the freedom of press.

It is the soldier not the campus organizer who gives us the freedom to protest.

It is the soldier who serves beneath the flag, who salutes the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the demonstrator the right to burn the flag."

(Make sure to click on all of these and really look at them!)

*Quotes That Stick*

"The truest mark of your success in life will be the quality of your marriage"

Gordon B. Hinckley (Former LDS[Mormon] Prophet/Leader ) 

This is my momma's favorite quote.  I love it.  Every time I am cross with Joey, or think our marriage is "tough" on me I think of this quote.  Marriage isn't a one person show, it takes two to make it last forever.  So, if I'm not doing my part to make it work and make it the best marriage ever than I am failing on my success in life... here on earth and in heaven
