I go to the rock

When my cycle didn’t show up on Saturday as it should have, I didn’t immediately get excited. What’s a day here or there? Sunday came and went, nothing. Same thing Monday and Tuesday. Woke up yesterday morning and nothing again.

I tried not to, but I got a little excited. Maybe we wouldn’t have to pull out the frozen embryo after all. No shots, no pills, just regular ol’ rabbit died cigar passing around babymaking. I told Mr. SingLikeSassy and we decided to just hold tight and take a test on Saturday if nothing had happened by the weekend.

Then around 4 p.m. I felt a twinge in my hinter regions. And then, the floodgates opened, as it were. No baby. Sigh.

But, as Yolanda Adams sings, the battle is not mine, it’s the Lord’s and then Dottie Peoples reminded me that he’s an on time God and Richard Smallwood told me to not to be discouraged, there is a healing for my spirit and my soul.

So I’ll call the nurse, as planned, and get the frozen egg transfer process underway.

I don’t go to church

It’s not that I don’t believe in God, I just do not go to church. Mr. SingLikeSassy likes to joke that we worship at the Church of the Bedside Comforter. Despite my lack of church attendance, I love gospel music. I always find hope and inspiration in the lyrics and music. So, here’s a sampling of some of my favorite spiritual music:

The arrangement of this song makes it a favorite:

These are what I listen to when I’m feeling low, and I need inspiration to keep on keepin’ on:

I listen to this when I need encouragement:

This one I keep on hand for when my friends need encouragement (I also have a great memory of singing this in the kitchen with my grandma while cooking a Sunday dinner):

And this is my all-time favorite from back in the day. Whitney did it right on “The Preacher’s Wife” soundtrack, which stays on continuous play in my car.
