Hello!

Good morning to my blogging friends. I am not really sure how to post a blog so this is an attempt at getting started.

I am so encouraged by so many of you women who have experienced trials and hardships, but still rely on the Lord to carry you.

I too have had some trials, the biggest being the loss of my dear son Caleb last August, who was 17 months old. I am still struggling, sometimes on a daily basis to overcome the grief that is associated with losing a child, but I have a great faith in my Heavenly Father and He has/will help me navigate this sometimes dark road.

I also have great joy. A husband who has helped to see our family through many ups and downs, and six living children, one of whom is still in my womb. Our oldest being a daughter who is 17 and then four boys 15, 13, 11, 7 and a daughter expected in October. Also, Caleb, like all of our children are our biggest blessings.

I, as my profile reflects, enjoy scrapbooking. It has been very therapeutic in working through my grief. I have been able to smile at pictures of Caleb again and remember so many good times that we experienced in his short life.

Please leave me a message and tell me about yourself. I'd love to hear from others. Thank you for sharing your lives with me.

With Hope,
Cheryl
