9 months of serious work and all I got was a "D" ... I couldn't be happier

9 looooooooong months and my result? 

"D" yeah, DAVID

I had him 6weeks ago. I found out that I was pregnant on my birthday, and from then it's been a roller coaster of emotions. Shock, sadness, guilt, anger, exhaustion, pain and now joy, as I hold him in my arms and thank God for such an amazing blessing.

Having a support system made up of family and friends, many of whom I met here, made the journey so much easier and I must say that my greatest blessings are people. God used many people to reach me when it seemed like I couldn't hear Him and I am grateful.

As we dedicated him to God today, my heart was filled with so much joy, it's hard to believe that I was sad when I found out I was pregnant. 


I consider myself privileged to have received such a precious precious gift from God and I call him my lil' miracle.
One of friends went: "Miracle?! Was he conceived of The Holy Spirit?"
Perhaps when I share how it all happened, you'll see why I call him that.


Between feedings, diaper changes, school runs and all the stuff that a girl with 3 children under 4 has to deal with, I can't be here that much, but I'll share, however long it takes. Perhaps my story would encourage someone. I have learnt a lot this year. Lessons I wouldn't have learnt if I didn't walk this road. 
This sorta kinda sums up my story:




Thanks for dropping by.
May your dreams come true
xoxo


And
errrm, 
May your plans be interrupted by pleasant surprises like me... Did I hear you say amen? ;o)

    He will come through my dear, keep trusting Him.
    He watches over His word to perform it and He's been known to do "exceeding abundantly above" what we ask. David is a good example.

  38. When I was a teenager I used to wonder that women are weaker than men. But gradually I got to understand that I was wrong because the women were stronger than us because they tolerated our weight and if we are strong then they are stronger to carry us. I would like to congratulate you for your David.
