Since my wedding day, I don’t know a happier day than yesterday. I went for my 2nd sonogram and got to see, in all his glory, my sweet little boy! And everything is just fine. No bright spots on his heart. He is doing wonderful! I start to cry just thinking about how God is truly making all my dreams come true each day. Perhaps it’s just the pregnancy hormones (everything makes me cry these days), but I think it’s just the overwhelming love that He has for me. I spent many years waiting, hoping, praying, and still waiting for these things within my heart to come to pass. With each year that passed, still single, my heart waivered, but never strayed. I held fast to His promise that He gives us the desires of our heart. It wasn’t easy, but now so worth it! I haven’t done everything right, by any means. But God still honored my faithfulness of the years. And today, I’m married to the man of my dreams, have two beautiful step-daughters that love me, and a precious little boy on the way. You don’t have to be perfect for God to do what He says He’ll do. He’s perfect, and His promises will come to pass. He doesn’t waiver, even when we do. And He certainly doesn’t change His mind about us, despite our wrong choices. He makes a way, where no one else sees a way. I certainly didn’t think this time last year, that within one year I would be married and have a baby on the way. There weren’t even any dating prospects a year ago. God is so good! I have done nothing to deserve all that He has done for me, but His great love transcends all that.
And, as if the wonderful news at the sonogram wasn’t enough, my boss informed me yesterday that when I get ready to come back to work, I can bring my sweet little Jacob with me to work. I can keep him with me all day & don’t have to worry about daycare for a while. He would rather me come back with the baby, than not have me at all (his words). Do I have the greatest boss or what?!
I wish you all the congratulations in the world! Girl, we need to meet someday. L, Carmen
