Today I got to message with my nephew for a little bit (he's a Marine, and currently deployed) and we got to talking about how great God is, and I'd like to take some time today, and list the things God has done for us.
We were told, after years of trying, that biological children would be impossible without major medical intervention. The Girl will be 4 next week, and The Boy will be 8 months. Both were conceived with no medical intervention (yes we did everything short of IVF when we were trying, but The Girl was conceived after we stopped everything. The Boy was our extra special surprise)
We were told to give up, and find somewhere else countless times, by well meaning friend and family, while we were trying to buy our house. We had peace, and I even physically heard a voice telling me 'WAIT!' one day. Scared me at the time, but I felt overwhelming peace. We now have a house that is perfect for us. It has every single one of our needs, and almost all of our wants. All within our budget. It took us 6 months, but God gave us our house. Had we given up, we might still be looking.
The Boy. He is a miracle to begin with, but he is a double miracle. I noticed at around 2 months something wasn't right with his eyes. He wasn't focusing, and he had 'wiggly' eyes according to his sister. The diagnosis was a scary one, and we were told he may never see. As of right now, his vision is good, and our ophthalmologist is very confident he will have almost normal vision. The pesky 'wiggle' is still there, but we know God will give the Drs wisdom on how to deal with that in the future if needed.
Those are just a few huge things that show us how much God loves us. That doesn't complete the list, those are just the big ones for us. God is good, even in the hard times. He never leaves us.
