Amazing Things

God has done some pretty amazing things in my life.

One of them, is having the courage and vulnerability to post on this blog. It kind of helps me to not know when you are reading this - and to not know your thoughts of me as you are reading this. Yes, there is a counter at the bottom of the page, and it amazes and scares me to no end the number of people that have read this blog. I have gotten emails from friends, family, and even strangers about the blog. I find it hard to wrap my mind around the fact that so many are interested in what I have to write. So, I usually just try not to. Because if I did get my mind wrapped around that fact... I may not write anymore! :o)

When I was in high school, I hated it! I was miserable. I was actively involved in golf, volleyball, mascot (that way I could be hidden... hmm... and we wonder where Chap gets it!), but those activities just helped me from facing the misery my heart was feeling. It wasn't until at Baylor that I truly found God's purpose for my life, and the will within myself to succeed. That is not to say that I still do not struggle with those insecurities. It is still a daily struggle, but the way God has shown himself in my life recently is what leads me to write and share myself.

My pregnancy with "the brothers" was filled with some of the most devastating days I have ever faced - way worse than high school days! God has shown me through life experiences and the blessings he has provided me, that I can't keep it all to myself. He showed me that I am loved to no end by Him and so many others. God revealed Himself to me during that pregnancy and the days and months afterward.

This is our miracle baby...


A little more perspective...

This is the size diaper he is wearing in that picture compared to the size he wears today...


















It is often said it is the struggles in life that bring us closer to God and provide the best testimonies. I've had plenty of struggles in life - most of them within myself. But when I look at this miraculous struggle and am a witness to the amazing hand of God - I have to share it. It is only a small piece of me, but a huge piece of my heart! So, I write...
