Show Us Your Life: Testimony Story



It's Show Us Your Life Friday over on Kelly's Corner and we're sharing our testimony, so here goes mine:

When I was fourteen years old, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Endometriois and told that more than likely I would never be able to have children. Ten years and five surgeries later I am the mother of an eleven month old baby boy who is happy, healthy, and hilarious.

I gave the situation over to the Lord and accepted that he would be in control. I knew that if I was faithful to him, he would give me the desires of my heart. I found peace in reading Hannah's Prayer from I Samuel. I claimed the verses she pleaded to our Lord thousands of years ago, and I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that my God would be faithful. And he was!

We got pregnant two months into our marriage. No drugs, no doctors, just God! We were shocked, not at God's faithfulness, but at his timing.

We named our son Eli because Eli was the priest who told Hannah that God had heard her prayers.




God heard our prayers too. He is a God who can move mountains, defy science, and comfort the brokenhearted. He is the God who healed my body and gave me a precious baby boy!

    Our God is so good and I can't wait to see what plans he has in store for Eli.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports?  Ha!  I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested.   The thing is, he doesn't discriminate.  Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube.   We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats,"  John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers,  "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops!  That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break?  Not this boy! I never thought

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our yard is basically an o
