So lots of time has went by since I have updated and I still don't know if I know what to say. I have been struggling with alot of things. My life wasn't happening in the way and time I wanted it to. So instead of being patient and knowing that God had a plan I got angry and upset. I know that is wrong but I wasn't willing to give it up. Now that I have given it up I feel better but I still could use some prayers. I want to do what God has planned and I want to be patient and follow it.
So on a lighter note I went to Chiago for three days last week with my friend Kristin and a girl named Rachel that attends college with Kristin. It was a good trip and I kind of got to relax. OK not really cause I know I walked like ten miles at least a day. My feet hurt so bad. It was a fun trip though. We went and visited Wrigly field, ok this was for Kristin not me. I can't say I am a Cubs fan because I'm not but it was still cool to go to the field. We went shopping on Michigan Avenue on Thursday and that was fun. We went into the Hersheys Chocolate store (it took everything in me not to buy anything. We also went in a bunch of stores where we couldn't afford to buy anything. At two points in the day we decided to be kids again. We went into the American Girl Store and walked around all three levels. We also went to the disney store and though it isn't that kid like I got to purchase something for the little girl that I love so much. I got to buy her a swim suit and I have to tell you it is so cute. It is purple and has princess Jasmine on it. I also got her matching sunglasses because our Drama Queen needs the Hollywood look for a trip to the beach.
The parking for haitians only sign I also found in Chicago at Navy Pier abd I was so so excited. I also got my mom her own stand with a Haitian and American Flag sitting in it.
Now then, my sons, listen to me, blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instructions and be wise; do not ignore it. Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever find me finds life and recieves favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 8:32-35 NIV

I knew you were struggling Bethany and had been praying for you. God has a great plan for you, but it is in His timing. Trust me I don't always like His timing, though it's always perfect!
Sometimes, at least for me, God lets me stand awhile. He wants me to understand how to be content just standing and being in his presence. Then, and only then, will he show me where to walk next.
that's how it was before I met your uncle Todd. I wanted a mate so badly. I had royally screwed the search up! And God was calling my name. I didn't want to acknowledge it at first, you know like a 2 year old. You KNOW they hear you but act like they don't. LOL
Anyways, when I finally got to the point that I said, Ok Lord, you are enough and I am done trying by might, now I will wait (stand) for you to bring that special someone to me. BUT even if you don't, you are enough and I will continue to learn to be content.
I met your uncle Todd soon afterwards.
Be still and KNOW that he is GOD!
I love you!
Yeah...you're posting again. I missed you!!! I know you have been having a hard time and I too have been praying for you. Your trip sounds amazing. I can't wait to see picture of Matu in her fancy swimsuit and sunglasses.
I love the sign!!! {{{ Hugs }}} to you! Will continue to pray for you.
