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!!!

  1. It is wonderful when we can look past the mounds of laundry, yet another leaking poopy diaper and the need for peace and quiet, just to realize how blessed we truly are. Marissa Hess
