I am Blessed.

 I am not a stranger to grief and loss. 7 years ago when I lost my mom, my faith was shaken but I struggled to hold on to it and my love for my Savior. I was blessed for my faith. That year, while I struggled I grew close to an awesome friend I had known but never truly " knew " the way Jesus knew her. That summer, I lost a mom but gained a best friend that would never leave my side. Ashley, you are my blessing.

I also met a man that would change my life. He swept me off my feet and showed me true love. We have struggled through many hard times together but our love is strong and faithful. We married quickly not because we needed to but because we wanted to. 6 years Daniel and you are still my blessing.

18 months we tried for a child. And we were disappointed every month. Daniel was told he would likely be sterile from the many medications that helped save his life as a little boy. We gave our hopes and dreams of a baby to Jesus on the 17th month of trying. On the 18th month we received new of our little blessing on the way -Abigail. 

2 years after our little blessing was born, we conceived our sweet lazy little angel Isaiah. This little boy showed me how precious life is. I was shaken again after we buried our little boy. Isaiah you will always be a blessing.

 However after the most difficult 15 months, I have been shown more blessings. This time in the form of lifelong friends. These ladies have helped me see the hope on the other side of grief. This group of friends have all struggled yet they show unrelenting love to others in need. You have shown me compassion my sweet ninjas. Thank you for being another blessing in my life. 

After we lost our son, we tried desperately to conceive our rainbow. In February we were blessed again. Our little Lillian gained her wings after 6 short weeks. I have questioned why, Lord? Why another loss? But I have seen the blessings in this as well. Strength. Understanding. Patience. During these weeks since hearing our sad news. I prayed for peace, healing, strength. I truly do worship a Mighty God, because He knew the desires of my heart for this miscarriage. I prayed to be able to see our little Lillian and say goodbye. I prayed for a natural, quick and painless miscarriage. That is exactly what I received. I barely felt a thing, but I did get to see my perfect, whole baby safely in her sac. So tiny and so perfect.

 My little Lillian you have been my biggest blessing for showing me how merciful and graceful my God truly is. 


I am blessed.
