Do you ever think...
that you know what's best for someone else? I do! Ok, now don't think that I think that I'm better than anyone else. That's not what I mean. But I do think that sometimes I might know what's best for someone else in certain situations. I'm struggling with one right now - and have been for some time - and I have decided that I'm giving it one BIG shot, and if my thoughts and ideas are not accepted, then I've done all I can do.
Am I right for taking this attitude toward the situation. Should I do this and then butt-out or should I not even be involved to begin with? See, I'm the kind of person who wants everyone to be happy, and I sometimes feel that I know what would make someone happy if they could just see the big picture. I'm sure this is major flaw of mine, but I can't help it. I want everyone to be comfortable and pleased with life in general. I try my best to see the glass half-full. That's sometimes easier said than done, of course. If only I possessed the talent of mind control :)
What are your thoughts...give it a shot or give up? I'm guessing your comments will be 50/50!!
On another note, I go back to the doctor next Tuesday, the 22nd. If I'm not pregnant this month, then next month we start our first round of Clomid with an IUI (intrauterine insemination). I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. If anyone has had experience with this, I would love any advice on what to do/expect! Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this next journey.
Also, I know that those of you who read my blog saw the previous post about Brian and Kristy Gray. Little Helen's funeral was yesterday and Kristy was able attend. I did not go to the service, but from what I've read on Facebook from those who did go, the service seemed to be extremely inspirational and uplifting. This family is one to be looked up to not only for their strength and positive attitudes, but more importantly for their faith in God and for letting him lead them through this. I am simply amazed. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they continue with Kristy's recovery and grieve the loss of their precious child.

Every little bit helps...
I've copied this from Teale's site....Please do what you can and continue to pray.
I know we are all approached this time of year in some form or another asking us to give to a certain cause, whether it be by someone ringing a bell outside a department store, or by someone calling you on the phone. Please do consider giving anything you can to help this sweet family... All funds raised will go toward medical, funeral and other expenses they may incur.

Hospital Address for Kristy Gray...
I'm sure that by now, several of you have heard the tragic news about Brian & Kristy Gray and the loss of their daughter, Helen. If you haven't, you can click on the "Prayers for the Gray Family" button on the right side of your screen and it will take you to a facebook page with more information or click HERE. Kristy is in the hospital and will be for some time I'm guessing.
I know that there are no words to say to someone who has just lost a child that can make it better, but I'm sure that a card just letting them know that you're thinking about them, and praying for them would be greatly appreciated. Here's the address for the hospital:
Atlanta Medical Center
Pamela Kristy Gray (be sure to put "Pamela" on there - she may not get it otherwise)
VICU - 234T
303 Pkwy Dr. NE
Atlanta, GA 30312
Please continue to keep them as well as their family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
