The last two weeks has been a flurry of emotions for me for some reason. I mean I just don't get it. First, why is it that a couple who have built a loving home and try for years to have a child of their never do while a random 16 year old high school girl can just pop one out or go to other measures to get rid of the pregnancy? Second, how come when previous couple finally have child it is sick and must be taken care of in a NICU for weeks/months? Third, why do beautiful children get sick with diseases like cancer and leukemia and live a few short years only to be given back to God while there are men and women out there who feel the need to drink and drive then get behind the wheel and take a life but walk away scratch/scott free? Finally, why is it that a single women who has six children already, live with her parents in a modest three bedroom two bath home feel the need to use fertility treatments to have eight more? What kind of life is she expecting for those kids? She now wants to go into hiding and be left alone - Lady, I have news for you - Not gonna happen. I don't condone her for wanting children I just think that she needs to evaulate her true purpose with these kids. Is she wanting a show on TLC, is she wanting to be like the Duggars or the Gosselins, is she wanting Extreme Home Makeover to come and build her a new house? Why? I just don't get it. I have thought about turning to my Bible but I wouldn't even know where to start. Growing up we were casual church goers - I want to be a regular attendee with my family but I cant seem to ever make it happen. Sorry about ranting and raving - just needed to get a few things off my chest.
Love, Me

Oh Mandy! I have not been out and about keeping up with my bloggy friends!! i can't believe I am reading your post from January when February is almost wrapped up! I am a sucky blog friend!!! I have been slightly self absorbed lately!!! Sorry......
My take on your question....we live in a "fallen world" where "fallen people" do the craziest things!!! Our Heavenly Father is the only one who won't let us down or disappoint us!! He does not control people....we have free will....and apparently keep using it to screw things up!!! He loves us and wants us to draw near to HIM.....that is the "pull" you feel and makes you want to go to church.....Mandy....church is great if you can find a good congregation that you feel at home in, but if not......I can suggest some WONDERFUL books to get you started!! shoot me an email....I would love to read thru a book or two with you!!!
