Keep a watch over our mouths!

I have been meaning to post this for a while, but I am just now getting caught up! On August 11th as I was laying in bed with my mom and dad...we were flipping through the channels and Joel Olsteen just happened to be on! We watched his sermon and boy did it touch my heart! Being raised in church my whole life we have always believed in being positive and not speaking things into existence! This was exactly what he preached about! Whether it be sickness, a goal/dream you have, or just everyday life... It is so important to keep a watch over our mouths! If you happen to be sick and someone ask how you are doing and really in the natural world you would like to say horrible...turn it around and say all is well! When we respond to things in a negative way that plants the seed of what you have spoke about...you have brought that to life...when we respond in a positive way it does the same except this time The Lord can begin his work for the good! You can turn everything you say around and make it positive! Even if you think negative thoughts DON'T speak about them!! Turn them around to be positive!

At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early. The results came back, and the screening detected a 76% predictive value for Trisomy 21. Definitely not something we ever expected. And the way it was presented to Cody and me made us leave the appointment scared, confused, and in denial of the results we had just been given. We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
