Tada ...

Today I start the beginning of my third trimester! Praise the Lord! There have been many times that I did not think Braden would make it this far!
I was reminded yesterday of the Saturday of our District Convention and how we did not go because it looked as though we were loosing our baby. Later that night I was sent to the ER and told that we were in the process of losing him. It was an hour trip and all I could do was pray that God would help me to handle this honorably and to take care of Bobby because I didn't feel I had the strength. This song that a sister sings at our church came to my hurt, "By Faith I Can Touch Him Now." (Or at least that's how I say it.)
I was scared, depressed and ready to give up, but God was not. He was in control the whole time. He knew the outcome!
When the doctor examined me all the symptoms had stopped! He did an ultrasound and the baby was tumbling and had an awesome heartbeat. God had took care of what I could not even see.
Those symptoms NEVER came back and my whole pregnancy took a incredible turn for the better that night. AMAZING!
Several weeks later we were again faced with a scare of a different kind. A blood clot, but within weeks, without medication it was absolved. Come to find out, the clot had been part of what God used to stop my earlier symptoms. So what I thought was for my bad, God had used for my good.
After all that I was so worried about our 20 week scan, but again we were so blessed! They said he was perfect!
Today he is moving and I stand in awe at the wonder of life growing in me. I am so very thankful for the miracle God chose for me.
Guess what? He can still do miracles for you too! I am as Paul said in the Bible, the least among you. (Paraphrased)
God's miracles are not all in one bottle and once they are poured out that is it. He is more than able to do what needs to be done. His supply never runs out!
Some may read this and think my testimony is premature. It is not! God has already given me the gift of life. Something the doctors said I would never experience. They told me to give up and I believed them, but then my Father stepped in!
There is a song Bobby use to sing and it keeps me going. "I AM SAFE THUS FAR".

" For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." 2Ti 1:12

" But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Php 4:19

" Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Heb 4:16

Praise God! He is so faithful.
Like I told God when my grandbabies were being born, I'll never again take babies for granted. They are each one . . . a miracle!
Love you.
