I need to remember this...
"When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other..." (Ecclesiastes 7:14).

Hi, my name is...
- Kristi
- I am a 30-something living in NJ with my wonderful hubby...married since May 2007 and STILL trying for our first baby. After numerous IUI's, two unsuccessful IVF cycle's on our own and one failed donor cycle, we're feeling consumed by infertility. This is our story...
The shoulders I lean on...

I love that verse...it's so true!
How ironic! I just heard this as the "Word on the Way" on the Christian radio station that I listen to!! Yes; I tell myself that all the time. That nothing comes to me or my life that didn't come through God first. And He brings me what I NEED, not what I want. And if it's a trial, it must because I need to learn something from it. And if it's something good, that's a good day. :)
Hope you are having a good weekend!
Erica
