Wow!! Not sure where to start!!

So I wanted to tell you a little bit about the Jones' family without taking up too much of your time.  This Jones family was established June 1994. We were marriend in Jonesboro.   We have lived in Berryville, then moved to Tennessee and then to South Georgia, then middle Georgia, where sweet Kaitlyn was born, when she was 18 months we moved to Springdale, then to Dequeen, and while in Dequeen Eddie worked in Oklahoma, and Caleb was born in TX.  Yes lived in AR worked in OK and baby in Texarkana, TX.  An hour away!!  Whew!!  then we came to Greenwood and he works in Waldron.  So you see why I titled this Blog "Keepin up with the Jones'"

While living here, we have made a lot of friends, and going to church with a sweet friend occasionally at FBC, well then Caleb started playing upward and we started going to church frequently at FBC!  We love it there.  I see now that God has placed us there and with so many great christian friends. We have no family here, they live 5 hours away in the state of AR.  We bought a house when we moved here but longed to live somewhere with more space, but finding that was hard.  As of December 2009, we started watching this foreclosed home and we started praying about this and for other things, and so many things happened with getting this house we knew it was God.  We took a hugh leap of Faith and God took care of us.  AMAZING!!!  Well in the midst of buying the house I was getting very emotional.  Didn't want to close on the house, wanted to back out, but we went FORWARD!  I found out not long after closing that I was pregnant, which is another thing we had prayed for. Once again.. AMAZING . We sell our house and move in to the foreclosed one and things started coming together.  I was really having a hard time settleing, but was making it.

So we found out we were having a girl, and we started working on names and the  nursery, and it all started coming together even more, the kids were so excited.   October 14 came around and it was time for me to do my glucose screening at the dr.,  Eddie took off that day and thenext,  not sure why at that time, but I tryed my best to say no don't go, I really wanted to go shopping after appt.  Well he went with me, and all I can say is God knew!!  The dr. could not find a heart beat and my heart I thought had stopped beating too. My heart was broken.  We went to hospital and was induce and delivered my sweet little girl Kelsie Faith.  I was only 28 to 29 weeks pregnant.  From there I guess there is no need to tell amymore other than the earth still spins, babies are still born, babies are all around, but our world stopped.  The church, my friends, people I barely knew brought us food.  Going to the funeral home to pick out stuff and plan a service was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.  That day I felt my heart breaking in a way I have never felt before .  But God still picks me up and says you must move on.  I could go on and on about how I know God was with me all along, but that might be a book itself, so today is Jan 29 2010 and we are still moving on, it is hard. I miss her everyday and think of her everyday. But God is with us everybit of the way.  I should have a 1 month old baby in my hands today, but God needed her more. I am a person who has always loved babies and now I find that I keep my distance but I pray God will let me heal.  I can't believe I am telling my story through a blog, but I had to start somewhere and for me to move forward then I had to start at the beginning.  Through Prayer and Faith in God we are able to keep going. I am not saying it is easy, it is tuff, but I have no choice but to go on.  Afterall, the world is still spinning.  God is my strong tower.   Enough on my sad stuff, now on to happy stuff, that will be my next blog.
