Today Wyatt and Kyle turned 9 years old. To be honest, I struggled with what to post today. I get out the photo album from their birth, and I just get lost in it. Cadas birth was difficult and joyous in three days. The boys birth was traumatic and heart-wrenching for almost 4 months. I dont remember a whole lot from that time in the early days. I DO remember having a peace that was inexplicable--my dad even mentioned it when I talked with him on the phone. I DO remember a nurse sneaking in often to pray over me. I DO remember Mike telling me how he left to go take pictures of Kyle because it appeared he would not be brought into the world alive and we would not be bringing him home. I DO remember a nurse Karen who spent long hours with Wyatt and breathed life into him several times night after night. There were women there who were faced with alarms and frantic nurses and after a time of working so hard, had to hear the news that their tiny little gift had not made it. It was horrible to be there and observe that. My boys were spared and early death for a purpose. I hope to one day be ever so clear to them on that. Many people claim Jeremiah 29:13 as their verse when faced with uncertainties and difficult times in their lives. I have too. But I need to bring forth the praise today, as these verses reflect the joy that comes from His hand on our lives. I say this because I know what I am planning for you, says the Lord. I have GOOD plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you HOPE and a GOOD FUTURE. (vs. 11-13) I know these words were for captives in Babylon, but if you are applying this to today, we have to realize that God has his hand on the direction our lives will take. We DONT know what that looks or feels like, when or where it will happen, or who it might affect in the meantime. It just comes down to TRUST and FAITH. What are you having trouble trusting God with and for? I have always been thankful for all my children, but I just really feel the need to publicly tell my Heavenly Father THANK YOU, for sharing these gifts with me, and may I live to see His purpose in their lives.
