Today I was looking at Ellas blog ...reading over all the past entries I have posted and Some of them made me smile them some of them made me cry. WOW!!! What a year. I am just so thankful for all the prayers and support I have. Things in my life are changing everyday, Ella is growing so fast and that alone brings some many new challenges my way. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to stay sane without being heavily medicated...LOL!!! We all know who is my strength. There is a very popular poem called "Footprints" that really touches me. I have known the poem and have read it many times but have never truly understood it until going through this stuff with Ella. Now it is like my life story... I know there have been many times when God has carried me, many times when I didn't even have the strength to pray, but as always he was there picking me up ...over and over again. I know when I was pregnant with Ella I felt broken and my faith was the only thing that got me through. The times I couldn't pray but just call his name and sit in the quiet of his presence because he knew I was hurting...there was no need for words. At the time I didn't realize how much I was hurting or how broken I felt, until the day I had Ella. That day I felt like a new person but I also looked back at the last few months in amazement. Amazed at how that hurt had become such a part of my everyday life that I didn't even realize it was there until it was gone. God had just carried me right through it all.
God is Good!!!
