Faith with a GIANT serving of Victory!

Yesterday, I received a text from my Dad that simply said: "1 John 5:4 "Victory is in the faith NOT the outcome." When I read my dad's text I paused and started crying. For those of you reading this blog you might think I'm on an emotional roller coaster...and you're right. For others, you totally understand. Anyway, what I realized yesterday through a simple text was that if I have FAITH that God can do a modern day miracle and allow Tyler and I the honor to be parents...We've already won the battle because we are putting our faith in HIM and HIS will. You might be thinking... how the heck have you won by just having faith? Well, it's simple! I truly have faith that the Lord is going to perform a miracle. Now, whether that miracle is the miracle I have in my head, physically carrying Tyler and I's baby, well, that's up to God. However, He does say that I have the victory if I just have some faith. No matter what the outcome of this journey the Lord keeps sending me littler reminders, whether through His word or through a simple text from my sweet Daddy...that He has a plan! I keep hearing the Lord cheering for us at the finish line...although it seems like that finish line is SEVERAL miles away...He's cheering "HAVE FAITH....I'M HERE WAITING FOR YOU!!" Winning isn't always about getting what you want...it's about realizing what you want and what God wants may or may not be the same thing...but in the end, if you are following Him and truly have the desires to do His will...no matter the outcome, you have the victory!!!
My point in this somewhat random yet meaningful post (not to mention the 150 mg of clomid that have me about to cry a waterfall) is to simply say...no matter what you're facing...no matter what's going on...KEEP YOUR CHIN UP...THE VICTORY WILL BE FOUND WITH A LITTLE FAITH!!!
Life's a marathon...not a sprint people...

Pressing on......

One Month of Breathing Differently...

On October 17th, it will be one month since we received a text that changed our world. A text that told us the little boy we were growing in our hearts would no longer be in our arms. It’s been a month of questions, A month of wrestling, a month of tears, a month of silence, a month of wondering why, a month of trying to put pieces back together, a month of heart break, a month of hell on earth, a month of learning to breathe a little differently, a month of surviving, a month of being on our knees because standing was too hard, a month of being stuck, and a month of leaning into a Heavenly Father that right now...takes away. As I sit here in a quiet living room with just my thoughts reflecting over the last 30 days it’s hard to keep typing. Not because I don’t know what To type, but because It still hurts. Don’t get me wrong, we have more good days than bad right now, but the bad still hurts more than I can put into this blog. We think daily of this little baby boy....is he’s ok, is h...

Even If you don’t, Our hope is YOU alone.

Monday (Sept 10th) started like any other day in our house...we woke up...late. Ate breakfast in the car and headed off to school. My parents were in town so when I got home from dropping the kids off my momma and I headed to the outlets to do some baby shopping. Walking into Carters again after years of being away was a dream. All the newborn/ 0-3 month clothes screamed at me. I could have taken every outfit home but settled on a handful and rushed off to meet Tyler at the field. We were heading to meet with our attorney and our birth mother to sign some “pre-birth” paperwork and to make sure everyone understood what each line meant and no questions were left unanswered. Everything was signed and we left with giant smiles on our face. Our little boy was due in two weeks and we were ready! The following days I had tried a couple times to get ahold of our birth mother. However, I got no answers. I didn’t think much of it because she admitted she is horrible at getting back with people. ...

God’s Plan All Along...

TODAY, January 18th, we have been a family of 5 for 6 weeks....and TODAY is also our baby boy’s 12 week birthday!!!! I felt it was fitting to FINALLY share our story of Dax Ivan Griffin.  On September 17th, we lost the baby boy we “thought” God had for us. Since that day we have wrestled a lot. We wrestled with why God would give and take away...and why God called us to grow our family through adoption only to leave us hurt and confused. We had decided to hold off on finishing our paperwork for our adoption agency until the beginning of the new year. We wanted to get through the Holidays and then start the process fresh at the first of the year. However, God had a different plan. With that being said here is our attempt to share “God’s plan all along”.  Thursday, November 29th started like any other day. I woke up late...trying to get the kids dressed and out the door early because, they had school and I was working at the school that day too. We rolled in on two wheels...
