It came in a dream.

I've been thinking about starting this blog for awhile now. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for awhile now and although most people would say it's infertility I say it's an opportunity for our faith to grow. Through this experience I have noticed a lot of the whys. And I've learned that I need to trust in the Lord and his timeline. There's a reason for everything. And this blog is one reason, I need to build my faith. I was reading in 2 Peter when I came across a scripture that made me stop and ponder. My mind was drawn to it multiple times in the last couple of weeks.
2 Peter 1:5-8:
  "5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
  6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
  7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
  8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Verse 8 is what caught my eye, "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful" (no I didn't read any further haha). That started me thinking, are these things in me? Do they abound? 

I want to make sure these things: faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity, abound in me so I will "neither be barren nor unfruitful."

So I decided to start this blog to record my progress. I've been having a hard time coming up with a title for this blog. Well last night I was sleeping and it came to me, "good will come from this." It was perfect, everything that will come out of this will be good! 

So here it is. Enjoy and grow with me.
