Merry Christmas !

I want to Wish Everyone a Merry Christmas and safe travels.

P.s. I have not tested yet, I plan to this weekend I am on cd 33. I have had some cramping like Af is going to to come, But she hasn't. I have had some spotting when I wiped a few times on Monday bright red blood and some old brownish colored as well. So I am praying and asking Lord to please let this be our month if it be your will and plan for us to get our positive this month. As you know what is best for us.

God Blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12

Whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. If you need wisdom--if you want to know what God wants you to do--ask Him, and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But when you ask Him, be sure that you really expect Him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. James 2:6 (NIV)
