The Ingram’s – Our saying has always been when it’s right it’s right and when you know, you know. And we knew we were meant to spend a lifetime together immediately. We live on the TN river in Rogersville, AL, and are true to the core “river rats”. We absolutely love spending every minute possible in and on the water with friends and family, and we are very blessed that our families live close to us. We enjoy anything outdoors- wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, fishing, hunting, and traveling. But we also both share the same dream to have a family. I remember when we were doing our pre-martial counseling with our preacher that he asked us how many kids we wanted to have and we said 4. And yes we would still love a house full, and we still have hopes for 4. But it appears that we will be very blessed if we are able to have just one. So far we have experienced a very emotional and physical journey trying to see our dream of having children come true. But this is our story-The Ingram’s River Ride, and we wanted to have a way so that all of our friends and family from near and far could have a way to keep up with what was going on with our baby journey. So sit back and enjoy our “river ride”. I want to be sure and say first of all that if it wasn’t for the following I wouldn’t have made it through all of this # 1 God and the faith and hope he provides # 2 Jason– he is my rock- the love and care he gives me is so amazing to me and # 3 The love and support from SO MANY who we are blessed to call our friends and family from near and far. We are RICHLY blessed to have so many people who care about us and pray for us and please know that we are so grateful for each and every one of you. I have tried to go back and capture everything that has happened in the last year so I am sure I will forget some things. And I might as well apologize ahead of time if the blog seems as though a 4th grader is submitting the posts because I have a hard time putting my thoughts on paper and that along with my “kuntry lingo” should be interesting. :)




A word from God - Sunday, July 18th 2010

We had a guest preacher at church for the morning and evening worship b/c Bro. Tim is in South Africa. I truly look forward to seeing and hearing God work through Bro. Bill Stafford each time he visits. If you ever get a chance to hear him you wont be disappointed. And if you have seen the movie Fireproof, then you have already seen him in the movie. Anyway, in the evening service the children sang and told of what they learned at camp the week before. And the entire time I was watching these children I was getting afraid/sad/worrying b/c I kept asking myself if I find out Thursday that it was a success and I am pregnant then "when can I get excited?". I dont want to miss out on times that I should be enjoying due to worrying. So I just kept asking meself if I'm pregnant when can I get excited. Then it came time for Bro. Bill to take the pulpit, and he said "As I was sitting in my chair God led me in a totally different direction than what I had intended on preaching on. And the title of the message is When can you trust God?". I thought oh wow this one is for me! And it was exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you God for a fresh word from heaven! I highly recommend going to clementsbaptist.org and listening to his sermon online. Big picture is I can and will trust Him now and if I get a positive result Thursday I will be excited and trust Him. :)

I love when God gives you the exact word you need to hear...and at exactly the right time. He is awesome and worthy of our trust always....even though that is easier said than done.

We love you and will praise His name with you no matter the results.....but we sure hope for BFP!!
