Prayer for 2012

Wow! It's New Year's Eve! I can't believe how quickly my favorite month has flown by. I absolutely love the Christmas Season, with all the festivities, family get togethers, and the true spirit of the season. This Christmas season was a bit of a roller coaster emotionally for Keith and I, we had a lot of ups and a lot of not so much fun. But overall I think Keith and I learned a lot about each other and the importance of our relationship we have together. I think we've grown to rely more so on each other and understand that it is okay to be disappointed or sad by events, as long as you bounce back and find your footing in life again. I have always known how resilient Keith is, but I don't think I truly understood until this past year. Keith has shown me how wonderful of a man he truly is and how strong he is for me. I know I could never go down this path alone or with anyone else. I am just so thankful to have him in my life.

The problem with marriage is you both come in thinking together you are invincible, then you realize down the road that the two of you need something more than just each other. Keith and I needed something more than our unshakable love for each other, we needed a light to lead us through, that Light is our Faith. Keith has always had a strong faith, but I believe that if your not on the same tier as the other you bring each other down, because you are a part of each other and if I sink so does Keith. Keith has really shown me that true faith and prayer will get you through the worse bit life throws at you, and when you are having trouble with believing prayer is like the mortar that holds it all together.

This New Year's holds a new meaning to both Keith and I, we are hoping and praying to have our baby home within the next 365 days. We just have to keep praying and have faith God will answer our prayers. Last year our hope was to just start the process of adoption. Our resolution was fulfilled and hopefully at the end of next year we'll be 2 for 2 and a family of three.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's and God Bless you all in 2012!
