Hello everyone! This is my second attempt at the whole blogging world. My first attempt failed miserably. But recently I had a very good friend tell me about some one who was trying to adopt and found a birth mom through their blog. I know that that is a slim to non chance, but since that is the avenue that Cameron and I are looking at right now, I figured it was worth a shot.
So that and the fact that I am terrible at keeping in contact with people on a one on one basis has inspired Our Little Corner of the World and (soon to come) Joslin's Photography.
It has been an amazingly trying year! It's a wonderful reminder of the tender mercies of the Lord, and the amazing way that he strengthens and guides us. From the end of January, to now it has been one unfortunate event after another. There are times that I feel that God just challenges me to see how far He can push me. I know that this isn't true but sometimes it feel that way.
Currently, Cameron is recovering from orthopedic surgery on his Tibia and Fibula, and my mom is in isolation because she is doing radiative iodine treatment for thyroid cancer, and I am realizing that I have been given a great opportunity to take care of my family.
I guess there are just some things in life that we aren't supposed to understand, that's what I am going through right now. Between my husband being out of work for three months and having to take care of him all on my own, and my mom having cancer, and (last but not least)the fact that we have not yet been able to have a baby I have felt really bitter.
But I have realized that I need to look at things I can be greatful for. True Cameron is out of work for a while, but I have a good job that I love and I can provide for us. And yes, my Mom has cancer, but it's one of the most treatable forms of cancer. And no, I can't get pregnant, but I have 13 wonderful nieces and nefews and I love them dearly, and I get to help other mothers create memories of their children everyday through my photography.
So it may be stressful in Our Little Corner of the World, but every minute of that stress is a blessing.
PS not all of my entries will be a novel like this one.
