Is That Like A Thing?

WAITING. When I (Emily) was asked to tell our story of infertility in these episodes, I had NO IDEA that a book would be coming out the same weeks we decided to air Part 1&2. Thanks to Magen's message during our episode "First Steps in a Dream" I wrote down, "Finish the book I started about faith and infertility." She said just take ten minutes a day, so one of those days was a phone call to my partner in the project, Lindsay Schott and we decided to pursue publishing this book that began years ago. It happened so quickly from there and it's now available on Amazon!

And I must say...just like we've heard from many of you, this podcast is growing my faith weekly with each episode. Thank you, Jesus for these friends I get to do life with and for how they follow you! You can find our book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093RMYF65/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_X5E1BSJ226ZNZFQE3DH7

Trying: Reflections On Faith Through Infertility, Miscarriage & Loss Trying: Reflections On Faith Through Infertility, Miscarriage & Loss

Waiting for a miracle. Waiting for an answered prayer. Waiting for a "Yes" or "No." Waiting for a job. Waiting for a surgery. Waiting for a friend or relative to find personal healing. Waiting for reconciliation. Waiting for a child. Waiting is the hardest thing we are asked to do sometimes. Yet it's there we continue to find a God who is present, who loves us and who draws near when we are hurting. Emily's husband, David Gentiles, wrote this song when they were 8 years into infertility and continued to wonder at God's plan. If you're waiting for something, this song was written for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pO7Z1XFfz0

WAITING. This week's episode is Part 2 of our "Waiting" series. It comes at the perfect time as we recorded it awhile ago, but in this past month several of us personally experienced another difficult season. Listening to it again, we were reminded that no matter how hard it is, our God is good. Even here in the waiting. Listen to Part 1 and Part 2 now wherever you listen to your Podcasts!

Favorite Book and Movie|

One Bucket List Item|
I’m an enneagram 8w7. All I do is create bucket lists. Which one do you want? Bucket lists for Europe? North America? The UK? Bucket lists for Disney world? Bucket Lists for what I want to do with the rest of my life? Day? Month? Week? Bucket Lists for getting all the Bucket List degrees I want? What about my teaching Bucket List? Or my singing Bucket Lists? Just let me know which road you want me to go down…

One Thing you can’t wait to you can’t wait to talk about| Bucket Lists! Kidding. Women’s roles in the Church is definitely at the top. I love any topic thats slightly uncomfortable to talk about…especially with this group of women. It’s just fun!

Favorite Book or Movie
My choice in books is a little, well, juvenile. I prefer the easy, fun and fast beach read over a more serious sort of book. I would say my current favorite would either be It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover, or more recently, Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. We love classic rock in this house and that book captured it all. (Both of those books would be rated PG-13, by the way, so there's your disclaimer!)

As far as movies go, we've really been into showing our kids some of our favorites from growing up. We enjoy all the genres of movies (except I'm not into the super hero or Star Wars stuff, despite my family's deepest desires), but my favorite we have showed our kids recently is Father of the Bride I and II.

Favorite Food
Pizza. Hands down. I could eat it for every meal every day for the rest of my life. Pepperoni? Meat lovers? Chicken Alfredo? BBQ Chicken? Spicy? Cheesy? YES, PLEASE, to allllll of it.
