Let's start this new blogging season off with a story of God's faithfulness.
A year ago I wrote this blog.
Man alive was that a hard day to put into words. I didn't understand why I was so compelled to write that blog at the time. I didn't want to seem like a whiny hiney (I have a tendency to whine), I also knew that the season we were going through needed to be put out there. Let's face it, we are not the only family who go through things that long to hear someone Else's story. AND I really needed to use my blog as a therapy session...it's much cheaper that way.
So, here we are a year later. Guess what!??!!! My house is full of babies now! God's beautiful gifts didn't come in the package I thought they would. But despite my skeptical unbelief He blessed us with 2 amazing little boys.
As I cried myself to sleep on February 1st 2011 I had no idea that one of my babies was just waiting to be united with us, and the other baby was still baking in his biological mothers belly. God had heard and answered the cries of my heart before I ever knew it. He's awesome.
I often wish I could look into the future and see what all is in store. I kid myself into thinking it would cut down on the tears I often shed about the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
Other times the thought of knowing what the future holds scares the snot out of me. So, after this past year of all it's ups and downs (smiles and frowns! hahahaha) I'll stick to whatever God has in store for my life. I don't need to see into the future, because as a christian I must practice faith in God's plan for my life.
Just as a I prayed this blog would be it reminds me of where we've been. The lows of how we've felt, and then God's provision and the highs that living in accordance to His path for our life feels.
I am so thankful to have a niece that turned one year old this week, and I'm so thankful that I was able to bring all 3 of my children to her birthday party.
My, my, my, what a difference a year makes!
