Getting real...

Please click over to my friend Amy's blog, and read her post today. It's fabulous. Amy is an inspired woman, who I am believing in Faith will someday make an amazing mother.

My story...

You can read the long version here,

The short version, for today's post, is that this year God made me a Momma. After one miscarriage and 3 years of trying, testing, and "everything looks fine...", God blessed us with twins.

You can give credit to modern medicine all you want, I know I do...to an extent. I am not sure why our procedure (an IUI with clomid) not only worked, but worked the first time and produced twins, but it did. Our doctor, the medicine, the procedure...all of it helped us get to our children, and I am grateful for that.

But nothing - nothing - happens unless God speaks.

And He did.

Why did He choose to bless us? I have no idea. I know I am not worthy of such blessings.

But I am grateful He did.


Today, as I write this, my 6 month old son and daughter are napping in their cribs, in the nursery I spent years dreaming about.
By His grace, I got experience pregnancy. And not only experience it, but I was blessed enough to carry our twins to full term. By His grace, they were both born healthy, and even though their birth went far from as planned, both the babies and I survived without any extereme complications.

It happened for me, and there were many, many, many times I doubted it ever would. With one positive pregnancy test, my life as I knew it would never be the same.

Thanks be to God.

He is Able.

Ephesians 3:20
"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! "
