Keepin’ It Real Rewinds 05

by QuatroMama on October 10, 2008

Picking up where I left off… God answered our prayers. And He answered with a  "No". BFN. (Big Fat Negative) I can’t say that I was overjoyed with His answer. In fact, it was hard to comprehend. Why would He instill this deep desire to have a child and yet leave me with empty arms?  [...]

Keepin’ It Real Rewinds 04

by QuatroMama on September 23, 2008

Sweet Henry’s posture captures my spirit well, as I’m stare at my computer screen… if only I could type comfortably in that position.
