Ray Lewis

If I am being totally honest while I knew right away that we were supposed to adopt it wasn't until just recently that I have started to feel excited about it. I don't naturally go searching for new experiences, I'd just assume stick to what I know and I know fertility treatments.  When Spencer and I got home from church a few weeks ago we were sitting on the couch and I was venting my feelings, "I don't want to adopt! I just want to go back to Dr Marrs! Why can't we just do IVF again?! Why do we have to adopt?! I don't want to!" Well you know those experiences when The Lord humbles you or teaches you. Like a few months ago I when was feeling particularly grumpy about the fact that money was really tight. Spencer quit his job last May and has started his own company which of course means I have to be frugal. I was reading in The Book of Mormon I am not sure where and The Lord is basically telling the Nephites to stop focusing on riches and start focusing on The Gospel. Needless to say I recognized that I needed to change my attitude. I have had many experiences like this and I have come to expect them when reading my scriptures or attending church or relief society. This Sunday however it came from an unusual source. The TV was on and The Raven had just defeated the Colts, the sportscaster was interviewing Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens. I had literally just finished my little rant and Ray Lewis says, "It's all about God's timing it is all about His will."
