Party of five...



So its been a while since I've posted a blog... To say the least, I've been busy. =) Oh, how I've been busy!!! On April 20th at 1:12pm this family became a family of four. Then, 10 minutes later at 1:22pm this family became a family of five. THE TWINS HAVE ARRIVED! All of a sudden, Elias had two siblings, and Mathew and I became parents of three beautiful children. THREE!!! Still getting used to that even after 3 1/2 months... NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS would I have thought that I would be a wife and a mother of three by the time I was 25 years old. Once a lost child, walking in the darkness with NO TRUTH to guide me, let the GLORY OF THE LORD be shown in this NEW LIFE of mine. =) Seriously, GRACE has lead my path, and oh how grateful this daughter of CHRIST is.
To say the least, I am privileged to be the mother of Elias, Jacob, and Selah. They have renewed my spirits, and show me every single day that GOD LOVES ME... Though, I may doubt that truth at times, HE HAS GIVEN me my babies to show me HIS love, mercy, and grace. BUT- my partner, my love, my other half, MY HUSBAND has been a light in my life these past 5 1/2 years that this blog post could never give enough justice to. Lets just say, I LOVE HIM. I love that he was chosen to BE MINE and to be the FATHER OF MY CHILDREN. A gift from GOD . FOR REAL, I consider him A GIFT.
I am NO FOOL. I know what a gift children are. I know how hard it must be for some to carry the burden of not being able to conceive. I KNOW from experience the heartache of miscarriage and loss (that might become another blog post one day). LET NO ONE BE MISTAKEN, I would NEVER change ANYTHING about my life. Truthfully, I never wanted twins before I had them. But NOW, I could never imagine my life without them. Though, my life may be crazy, and things may get even crazier, I AM GRATEFUL! I AM GRATEFUL! I AM GRATEFUL! If anyone actually reads this, know that I AM GRATEFUL for this PARTY OF FIVE!!!
