It’s hard to believe that we began this little blog almost
three years ago. It was born out of a
lot of struggles, and even more cups of coffee.
But we knew that God had placed within each of us a redemptive story to
be told – of how He took the ashes of infertility and turned them into
something beautiful in each of our lives.
We all have a story to tell of how God transforms our lives. He uses stories to connect and to encourage. To bring hope, peace and comfort. To let us know that we are never alone. If we harbor that story within us, then God never receives the glory, honor and praise He deserves. And thus, over lots of chats and Thursday morning meetings over coffee, we created this little space to share our journeys to motherhood.
We didn’t know what that would look like, or even know if we
would continue to write beyond those first few posts. We have a lot of encouragement, and an almost
equal amount of discouragement. But
ultimately God wins over Satan's whispers of doubt and we persevere into
unknowns with God as our guide.
Thank you to all who have followed along with our blog over
the last (almost) three years. We’ve
made the most beautiful connections and friendships. We’ve developed a tribe, a sisterhood, a
group of “me too’s.” Although our
season of life with little toddlers turned preschoolers didn’t allow us to
share as much as we wanted, the time has come (as we cry crocodile tears that
they are now in kindergarten) where we have the opportunity to do more and
bring more to the table. We’ve also
endured other struggles along the way which have opened greater doors for
us.
So with that, we are announcing the close of this little
Blogger site as of today. This is our
last post here. BUT, we have some
exciting news! It’s not the end, but
rather a new beginning for Our Not So Engineered Life!
We have a whole new space in the world where we invite you to grab a cup of coffee and come hang out with us. ONSEL is an entire website that is officially live now where we
are able to bring you so much more in the way of words, encouragement, prayer,

XO,
A HUGE thanks to Ashley Mitchell of Big Tough Girl for
designing our new space and putting up with two type-A personalities over the
last few weeks! As most of you know, she
is amazing and has so many hidden talents. We couldn't have pulled this off without you!
