Bethany Juarez sent me a link to your blog a long time ago because we have some things in common - PCOS, loss, etc. I hadn't checked up on your blog in quite a while and I'm so happy to see that you now have your adorable Audie Lynn! Thanks so much for faithfully sharing your story.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069220262683215373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620303210567157081.post-79714429227962694352012-12-06T11:46:54.298-08:002012-12-06T11:46:54.298-08:00Well said!

I lost my first baby...and my second babygirl has always longed for her sister. she asked me one time if she could name her, such sweet sisterly love...yet, her knowing she has a big sister she will spend eternity with has fulfilled her dream of a sister...she understands God's ways are not her ways, so she is eager to meet her in eternity. Our babies get to commune with the Maker of the Universe and they're holding a seat for us at His Feasting Table...Merry Christmas!Skoots1moMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062108140123899280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620303210567157081.post-11839200797534058462012-12-06T09:50:18.222-08:002012-12-06T09:50:18.222-08:00Perfect post, Shayla.

He may ask for at least 10% back to His Kingdom, but He doesn't just look at what we give back, but what we keep. He blesses us to bless others.<br /><br />Regarding other things, even kids are His. Desires and dreams are His. Sometimes He gives us those desires to be fulfilled by Him. Sometimes He wants us to sacrifice them at the alter, much like Abraham did with Isaac. That's how I felt with motherhood. I KNOW I'm supposed to be a mom. So when God "withheld" that from me, I was upset. But then I realized that He has better plans and asked me to sacrifice that desire for something else. <br /><br />I had to. But He didn't say no to motherhood on earth (to either of us!) We can now see that you don't have to give birth to be a mommy and to feel the closest bond to a child that didn't grow under your heart, but in it!<br /><br />Looking back, I'd never change a thing about our fertility issues and miscarriage because if those didn't happen (and in their perfect timing) I wouldn't have my Baby J we get to adopt soon! I love him more than life and more than my past desires!

I have struggled with intense fears that God will "take" Jake and Eisley from me and I will be left with nothing. Over time He is changing my heart, and instead of thanking Him for giving them to me, I have had to change that to thanking Him for allowing me to spend five years, six years, now seven years as their mother, even if that is all I ever get. <br /><br />I have a good friend who lost her twins to a drowning accident at 2 years old. She has taught me a lot about the fact that God is merely granting us the gift of borrowing His children for awhile. Some are blessed with a lifetime, some a few years, and some only weeks. But we have all been blessed to borrow them for awhile, and it is up to us how we use that time as their parents. I believe someday we will all be responsible to answer His question, "What did you do with my children in the time I gave you with them?"<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your heart!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372544720396649429noreply@blogger.com
