Seasons

Life, you gotta love it. Seasons are a part of our calendar year and they are apart of our life in the sense that different ages and times in our life our focus is on different areas and God works on us to mold us into who He wants us to be. I can look back on so many times in my life that didn't make sense at the time but today in the current season those events and times were to prepare me for now. Right now I am loving aspects of my current season. It started about 4 months ago when for the first time since my husband and I got married we lived on our own. We were nervous because it was just us for the first time. We always had someone around and it honestly was time for that season to come to a close so that my husband and I could bond even more and strengthen our marriage more and more. We have really drawn close to each other and close to God during this time. I feel a new strength and passion for my first love and its been missing for years. I love how I can't read my bible now without something speaking to me. Its been in the still and quiet that I have learned to hear the gentle callings of my Savior. I know I said that this blog is about the journey to our baby however I feel that this past few months has been vital to our family as it is laying foundations for us as husband and wife and one day mommy and daddy. If we don't have our relationship with God founded and with ourselves we will not be good parents. I am excited for the season of parenthood to begin for us.

I shared on my other blog that just about a year ago we miscarried a precious baby. It was very very early in my pregnancy and we could not find out why or really quite how far along I was. My personal estimate was between 6-8 weeks. It was so hard to deal with that season but I truly believe now it wasn't the right time. It was enough to prove to us the doctors were wrong in telling us that we could not get pregnant. Yes we miss the baby we will never know here on earth. We named our little angel baby Noah Alexander Empie. Of course we don't know if it was a boy or girl. We know one day we will see that baby in heaven.
