Well, I’m a little surprised that my submission to this carnival wasn’t used but I guess that, after five years and around a dozen attempts at IVF (all but one of them failures), the blog post I had chosen didn’t show sufficient gratitude to Him for the gift He bestowed upon my wife and I.
He knows my gratitude toward Him.

Asalaamu alaikum JD,
Please let me clarify: I do not “choose” from submissions. If something is submitted to me, it gets added to the carnival. If something is not in a carnival I post, it’s because I didn’t get it. I have a very systematic way of keeping all submissions in one folder, so whether it comes to me from the Blog Carnival site or direct via email, it goes into that folder immediately – even before I read it.
Therefore, your post was not added because it was never submitted or was incorrectly submitted perhaps; either way – I never got a submission from you.

Jazaki Allahu khairan Aaminah for taking the time and effort to put this together. Brother JDsq, maybe you could go ahead and submit it to her and she can update the entry? I would like to read it, insha’Allah.

Assalamualaikum,
Such a wonderful idea. Haven’t gotten to read any of the entries yet, though I shall certainly find the time to delve into each one of them.
Thanks for sharing.
