Shelly and Bobby were on Nightline last night! Their story had me in tears. Wow! Amazed by God's grace in their lives, and the courage He has given them. http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/couples-decision-undergo-risky-prenatal-surgery-30022563?from=related
The whole story airs TONIGHT on PBS at 8pm Eastern.
FREE Jamberry Samples!
Our great friends Ben and Jess came over for my birthday back in January. I noticed Jess had really cute nails! Of course I complimented her on them, and she got really excited because...She got them for me as my birthday gift! I had never heard of Jamberry Nail Wraps, but it didn't take me long to get hooked. Jess let me pick out any two wraps I wanted, and then came back over to help me put them on. I was surprised at how simple it was to apply the wraps. We had so much fun chatting away while we did our nails. Then once the wraps where all on I felt so GOOD about myself. Anything I can do to treat myself as a woman these days is a joy! I loved looking down and seeing my nails done.
The best part is, the nails do not chip or smudge. Amazing, especially considering how many baths I give and how much I wash my hands. They stay on for about 10 days. Mine never did peal, but as my nails grew I was ready for them to be off, and they were really easy to remove.
I should sell these things, ha! The funny thing is, my cousin Heather DID start selling them! She asked me if I would host a "party" for her on Facebook so of course I was happy to help. If you're interested in checking out Jams, let me know and I'll invite you to the party. She is already giving away FREE samples (today and tomorrow) to anyone who wants them, and there will be other give aways during the next week. If you don't have Facebook, you can check out the party here:

Tuesday on PBS
I'm SO excited to share this with you all! This Tuesday at 8PM (I guess that's Eastern time) there is a series starting called Twice Born on PBS. It's about couples who have undergone fetal surgery, which is surgery on the baby while the Mom is still pregnant! A friend of mine from VA (she grew up at Reston Bible Church) is going to be in the documentary. Her name is Shelly Ross (husband Bobby). Her daughter, Lu has spina bifida and was supposed to be paralyzed. Her daughter is now 1 and is crawling, pulling up, and expected to walk! The couple have an amazing testimony! Here is a link to preview episode one:

Also, her blog is listed on my blog roll-Shelly & Bobby's Blog, but here it is for easy access: https://shobbyross.wordpress.com/ I appreciate her openness, honesty, and vulnerability as she shares about this journey God has her family on.

My Secret (Not anymore!) Addiction- Part 3
I just wanted to end this series of posts by saying I really don't have it all together nor do I have all the answers. My heart behind these posts is simply to share my own experiences and hopefully encourage others on the same journey. I could write a whole other series on "When My Fears Actually Happen". But the funny thing is, the things I have lived in fear about that have actually happened have never been as bad as I had imagined. God has ALWAYS used those things to some how bring me joy. And He has always healed. The bottom line is, the goodness of God abounds.
I am starting a new writing project, and will hopefully be "published" next Fall. It's a project through my writer's group, and my piece will be printed as part of an art exhibit at our church. Those who have taken on the challenge are going to create a piece of art that has to do with one of the names of God. (There are so MANY!) I haven't picked which name I am going to write about yet, but God's name, "Yahweh-Shammah: The Lord who is present" has really caught my eye. Here's the link to the website that lists the names of God as well as a cool song that was shared with all the artists.
I don't think there's any better way to conclude this series then by saying praise God- THE LORD WHO IS PRESENT- that those of us who follow Christ don't have to be shackled by fear, but can live in the peace of His presence.
