Craving

Have you ever felt like your body was telling you that it wanted something specific to eat or drink??

I have often had cravings, especially for chocolate.

These days, it’s coffee, or salty foods. Very odd, because my body really does not want chocolate and that is usually the first thing I crave.

I was pleased to read that I can have decaf!!

Infertilité

Lorsque nous sommes toutes petites, nous les filles ont se fait une idée (non réaliste) de ce à quoi notre vie ressemblera lorsque nous seront grande. Nous décidons de la carrière, de notre maison, de nos animaux, notre mari et du nombre d’enfants que nous voulons.
C’est bien de rêver! Mais il faut aussi se rappeler que Dieu a le contrôle sur TOUTES ces choses.

Moi, j’avais oubliée. Lorsqu’Adam et moi nous sommes remarier le 8 décembre 2006, je ne pensais pas aux enfants. Je voulais tout simplement jouir de la présence de mon mari. Mais peu à peu, ma sœur et nos amis ont commencé à avoir des enfants.
Un beau jour, nous avons décidé que nous étions prêt nous aussi à fondé une famille. J’étais exciter, mais très nerveuse!
Puis, les mois avançait. Les gens autours de moi donnait naissance à leurs enfants ou annonçais qu’elles étaient enceinte à nouveau. Et de mon côté, tante rose venait me rendre visite.
Je me suis souvent trouvé assise dans le bain à pleurer et crier à Dieu. J’avais tant de questions pour le Seigneur.

Puis, la semaine dernière j’ai lu un de mes blog préférée CJANE. J’aime beaucoup la façon dont elle décrit les choses qu’elle voit et vie.

Voici ce qu’elle à dit sur l’infertilité :

To create life--this act of man and wife--is sanctified by God as the greatest of man's ability. To some He gives it freely, to others he tempers with humility and patience. To struggle with procreation is how God chooses to keep my pride in check. I fail; I fail and fail until it becomes more logical to give up. Somehow in giving up, He gives to me. (Quote from CJane blog)

Et je me suis vue. Cette femme pour qui Dieu demandais la patience et l’humilité. Et Il sait que je ne suis pas très patiente, OK, je ne suis pas toujours très humble non plus.

Alors jeudi passé (le 17 septembre) lorsque j’ai fait le test de grossesse et qu’il était positif, je n’en croyais pas mes yeux! Comment Dieu pouvais me répondre aussi rapidement? Je venais à peine d’accepter Sa réponse à mes prières, soit « Attend ».
Mais les voies de Dieu ne sont pas les nôtres, et pour cela je Lui rends gloire!

Je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi il m’a répondu et pourquoi Il n’a pas répondu à d’autres, mais Dieu, Lui, le sais et Il prendra soin d’elles. Et Il me donnera la force nécessaire d’être un modèle pour Lui et surtout de Lui faire confiance!

Crazy month of August

I have really tried to be faithful to writing on my blog each week, or even every second day, but there always seems to be a tone of other things to do in one day.

The month of August went by so quickly that I forget most of what occurred. But here are a few highlights.

At the beginning of August Adam and I took a little trip about 3 ½ hours from our home to St-Adèle to pick up our new baby (ies). Adam had shared with me hi desire to have another dog and we had been searching the internet for just the right one. We had found a place that had many German-shorthaired pointers (Braque Allemends) which is the type of dog Adam wanted. They are hunting dogs and have a very good personality. But this place made the process long and hard to get a dog, and they were all dogs which came from hard backgrounds so we would have had to deal with the repercussions. But God knew what we needed, and on August 14th we drove to St-Adèle to pick up a dog. I had told Adam I would be comfortable with two, so we ended up leaving with two. They are wonderful pets. They have adapted quickly to us and our lifestyle (the fact that we work outside the home) and they love the cats. And I am pleased to say the cats tolerate them and have adapted quickly to these bundles of energy.
We have named them Mia and Sidka. Mia is 4 months (almost 5) and Sidka is 2 months (maybe 3 now).

On August 22nd, we had the privilege of having some friends and family over for a BBQ. We had a blessed time.

Then on August 29th my niece Léanne came into this world after many weeks of anticipation on our parts (and especially on her mother’s part, who was very tired). She is beautiful and in good health. So is my sister Cheryl! I praise the Lord for this little miracle, because all children are a miracle from the Lord, and a blessing! I have the privilege of being off next week to help Cheryl take care of her little family! I am looking forward to it.

And this week off is only possible because I changed jobs. I have returned to my old roots! I am so happy and relieved to be back in familiar territory. I am glad I had the opportunity to try something like that. I had always wanted to work in the President’s office, so now I can check that off my list! J
But being back with my old group brings me much joy, especially with the fact that I was able to get a full week off next week!!


I also attended a baby shower and a wedding in August. It was quite an eventful month!!
