Pray Hard + ABC Tagged.

I've been sharing a bit of my sister's story. She and her husband have travelled through infertility and, as I write tonight, are staying in a motel across town. Tomorrow morning, medical specialists will extract eggs from my sister and a "sample" from her husband, and then they will fertilize the eggs through amazing scientific advances. They have made the decision to seek children through in vitro very seriously, very prayerfully, and with a good grip on the ethical and moral issues involved. I am inspired by how carefully and prayerfully they have made this decision. And so now, I am asking you to pray along with me and them. Pray that God's will be done tomorrow. That they would feel a great sense of peace, standing in the palm of His hand. And, that if it's God will, that my little niece or nephew's life would begin tomorrow. The procedue is at 9:30, so please pray for them. And, as my sister has written in every one of her blog posts throughout this journey....remember that God is good ALL THE TIME.

I saw this on a friend, Julie's, blog so thought it would be fun to share some fun ABCs about me today:
