[-] Well, it's been a
long time coming... the blog is
back :) I've known for awhile that I needed/wanted to pick it back up, but for some reason I've been so
intimidated by it that I've pushed it aside. The
pressure,
oh the pressure! So, just a
regular ol' cup o' joe it will be....
random bloggings about the
life that we lead.
Alot over the course of the next
several weeks will have
alot to do w/ the journey that I took 2 years ago, when I gave birth to
Avary, who was born at
29 weeks gestation. The reason being, that my
sister, Misty, just delivered
26 1/2 week twins,
Katelyn & Cali. The morning that her water broke, Derrick (my husband) was
praying and felt that the
Lord told him that He had allowed me to go through that journey with Avary, in
preparation to offer comfort and hope to my sister during HER experience.
Wow. We so often
question God and wonder "why?", and then one day, out of the blue, you are faced with a
possible answer.
He is truly amazing. Since we are separated by miles during this time, I want to offer her
more than just my
three daily phone calls
(!), so I will offer through the blog as well. Maybe even just in my noting a
memory, she can be comforted in knowing that feeling is
'normal'. Since the babies were born this past Monday, I've felt like I'm
retracing the footsteps of two years ago. I feel like I'm in the same exact
cloud I was in during that time... it's so strange and
surreal. I cannot believe that my
sister is faced with such a similar situation. Of course, I will
never know her feelings; I may have faced a
similar situation, but each is
unique, and I can only
pray that
God give me the words to say, or
not to say, to offer
comfort to my sister, my best
friend.
Might I say that she is an
A+ mom! Naudya, Katelyn & Cali are so very
blessed to call her Mommy!
Prayers to her and Cash; as if this isn't a difficult situation already, Cash is currently deployed to Iraq and was
denied early leave, so will not be home until possibly late
April. I can't imagine his
feelings and fears, being so far from his
precious family during this time.
Ohhhh, I could go on and on and on, but I will save the feelings and thoughts for
many, many other posts ;) My mind has been running on
overdrive the last few days/nights, so I'll
try not to overwhelm! I think I'll go read the blog from the beginning and be
reminded of the
many miracles that
God performed in our lives
before he even held our hands through Avary's birth!
Love and prayers!
