I just want to take the time to give thanks to God for blessing me with such a wonderful family. That may come off as shallow sounding but I truly am blessed. God led me too my husband three years ago at a time ( I was only twenty) when I really had no direction to my life. I was in college doing well but still just couldnt find a dierction. At the time my now husband had just gone through a very bad divorce. . I wont go into details but it was ugly. He had custody of his two children. Two amazing little boys who would change my life. In my husband and his mother and father I found a family. We got married very shortly after we met at a time when my family ( step mother and father) had left me. I felt lost. Soon after we were we decided we wanted to try and have a baby. Months and months went by with no successs. Drs finally informed us that I would never be able to have a baby. At 21 this crushed me. (Please don't criticize for being so young...that was another huge hurtle a had to overcome. . The only thing I wanted in life was a caring family that I could love) I was saved when I was younger but in my life until then I had drifted away from God. When I met my husband and his family I started going back to church and slowly getting closer and closer to my savior. I prayed and prayed about this situation but I never could just leave it in the Lords hands.


One day at church the preacher preached a sermon on not regretting what we do not have but instead being thankful for what we do. It made me realize what I did have that I should be thankful for. I realized that in a way I was being selfish. Here I had two beautiful boys as a part of my life. .a wonderful husband. .and finally a loving caring family. That day I went to the alter and actually found Jesus again. I prayed and gave thanks for what I did have. I asked god to guide and direct me through life. If this was what God meant for me then I was truly thankful.

Since then my husband and I have truly tried to live our lives for the lord. We are not perfect and we still screw up but I have been a much more satisfied person and lived a more satisfied life since that day. I do not worry now about the little problems because I leave them in His hands.

Two months after this night in church I found out I was pregnant with my now 6 month old daughter. The Drs still do not understand how. I take every day now to give thanks for what I do have and do not regret what I do not!


Thank you Lord for washing my sins away! You are an awesome God!
