I wanted the name for my blog to reflect scripture. I loved the blogs I read that had incorporated scripture this way, Perfect Work and Light and Momentary. So I looked for what would fit for me. I always wanted to own a farm and call it "Hallowed Hills", but this blog name was already taken. I tried a few others and they were also taken.
So, when I was at mass on Saturday, I picked up a pamphlet on infertility. In it, the author in conclusion, used the scripture Ecclesiastes 4:12, and it fit. The three-fold cord; God, my husband and myself. Stronger than the pain of infertility. Stronger than a two-fold cord; husband and myself, God and myself, husband and God.
It's through marriage and having God in our marriage that I find strength. And, surprise, it works for all things, not just infertility. In many ways, it's my biggest gift, my own personal three-fold cord. I can't express the security it brings.
I love it.
"Though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. A three-fold cord is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

My new blog
I've been reading other blogs for over a year now and have decided I would like to have my own. I'm nervous about this and not sure what to expect. I'm not even sure what my blog will be about, but I figure it will center around a few things. I'm Catholic, I'm married, I suffer with infertility and I love children. There is enough in those four topics to keep me posting for a bit. So welcome. I should warn you now, I can't spell to save my life!
