The Lord has been changing my heart in many ways recently. I wanted to share a little bit of my personal journey that started back this fall when I decided to take the Beth Moore bible study "Living Beyond Yourself" at church. I started to reflect on when this journey actually started.
Thinking back 6 years when we started trying to get pregnant with Adrianna was when I think God started to really work on my heart, though I didn't know it yet. We had tried for 2 years to have Adrianna, and after some fertility drugs, we were finally pregnant! The soft words of the Lord through that time was always "wait". It was a very difficult time but a time of intense growing in my reliability on Christ. I remember about a week before we found out we were pregnant that God whispered to me "It's time". It was so amazing! I had a very difficult pregancy with gestational diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia, bed rest, and severe post-partum depression for a year after she was born. I REALLY did not want to have any more children after that. After Adrianna turned a year, I remember the clouds parting and actually felt like I could live again! Her full name is Adrianna Grace and it means "Protected by Grace". It was so humbling to see how God's grace was so abundant in every step of our journey.
She truly has been a graceful blessing in our family. It's amazing to see how God fulfills our heart's desire beyond what we can imagine!
