Hi Ladies 
A little about me:
My name is Adriana and I am a 22 year old hapily married South African Girl - just so you know lions don't walk around in our Shopping malls. And Yes Elephants, Rhino's and Crocodiles are found in our Zoo's only
<- Jip, it's hilarious but some ppl think we South Africans wear those little Zedra skin thinga majigs to cover our tushes 
, Nah we really are quite normal.
I have two threads out already that I am quite excited about - Turning to God in the still birth and neonatal section which is very new and then also power of prayer in the second trimester section which has been going for quite some time already...
I came across BNB about 2 years back after a m/c with my first pregnancy at 6/7 weeks
- and I met and made some wonderful friendships on here that made things a lil easier - You know, you don't always want to speak to the ppl that knows you well sometimes that can be VERY uncomfortable. I chose to hide behind my lil laptop, sharing my thoughts and feelings with amazing woman that knows where I am coming from.
It only took about 2 months after ttc again to get pregnant ( My little Super man is nearly 6 months already!) but let me tell you - it felt like FOREVER!
So I have been starting threads that will encourage and inspire ladies, at least I hope they do!!
My vision for this thread "Inspiration, Hope, Love and Laughter".
Here you can share your thoughts and feelings without any judgement and we can encourage one another to go on, It really doesn't matter if its big or small. Sometimes the smallest hurdles becomes our biggest mountains
.
I am a Christian and I do believe that God's Will for our lives are much bigger than the Will we have for our own lives.
Found this Beautiful Poem online and thought I'd share...
Wait
by Russell Kelfer
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate . . .
And the Master so gently said, "Wait."
"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.
"My future and all to which I relate
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to wait?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign,
Or even a 'no' to which I can resign.
"You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply."
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,
As my Master replied again, "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting for what?"
He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine . . .
and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.
"I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.
"You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence are all you can see.
"You'd never experience the fullness of love
When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
"The glow of my comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.
"You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
But, oh, the loss, if you missed what I'm doing in you.
"So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still . . . Wait."
Looking foward to meeting you lovely ladies!!
Attached are some Phodies - just so you can see who I am lol.
The little cutie is my son. Júan , Born 5th August 2012 Weighing 3.4KG (Little Fattie)
The handsome Guy is Jacques. My husband, we have been together 6 years married for nearly two (anniversary 8th Feb 2011).
