I will not be in town on Cycle Day 2 or 3 so I will use birth control this cycle.

We are having a wonderful time in Texas! Last night Dave and I sat in chairs and everyone came around us and prayed for us concerning our desire to be parents. It was very meaningful. I am so blessed to be in a family where prayer is taken seriosly and everyone understands the importance of praying. Many of the family said how much they enjoy reading this blog and knowing specifically how to pray. When I started the blog back in March that was my purpose - to create a way to keep people informed about everything so they can know how to pray specifically. Thank you so much for reading and then praying. That makes all the difference in the world.

We also prayed for Uncle Guy, Aunt Elena and Vanessa as they are returning to Brazil next week to continue their missionary service in Rio planting churches.

It will be 18 months before all three sisters and their families will be together again. In December of 2005, Uncle Guy said, “Well the next time we are together it will be for Cristina’s wedding next summer, unless of course one of you other kids marries before then.” Little did we know at that time I would meet and marry Dave before we all flew down to Brazil for Cristina’s wedding. So last night Uncle Guy said, “Well the next time we are together Dave and Elaine will hopefully no longer be just two, but three!”

My nurse will be putting together the schedule for Cycle 2 sometime this week. I will post it when I get it.

Begin praying now that God’s will be done in this cycle, for His Glory, and that we rely on His peace, moment by moment.
