Mother's Day

I woke up this morning having a heavy heart. I thought about my life a year ago on Mothers day... I remember it was a really tough day after losing our sweet baby 2 months before. I remember my family took a trip and I was unable to see my mom that day, I believe I laid in bed all day. It was just the beginning of God working in my life and making me the women I am today and yearn to be. Now a year later, I can see who I was and who I am today and I owe to our savior for seeing me through all my pain and long road of medical treatments. Today I am almost 18 weeks pregnant with a sweet gift from God that was so unexpected but so cherished. Today my heart is heavy for children who have lost their moms, for moms who have also lost their children in some point in life, and for friends who have tried and tried to become moms. My heart aches for all of them.  My dear friends, you hold a special place in my heart, you might not know it but you have taught me so much. I see God working in your lives and it brings me much Joy when I see HIM shine through you. HIS plan is perfect, we might not agree with his timeline but we have to trust. I know HE is going to do great things!

I love you MOM! Thanks for always letting me know you are here for me for all trails of life, thanks for being the wind beneath my wings!

"We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise"
