And as I read your blog I saw myself in your words...marinating in the song. Wanting to understand every lyric, applying it to my life, feeling every rise and fall, I totally get that! Infact I thought I was the only one like this. But having faith in my afflictions and believing it is for His Glory, I totally get that too! Thank You for such a well written Blog.

i have come to your blog through lindsey...denise...<br />i have come to your blog through lindsey's blog! i have been a blog reader of hers for quite some time now, and have even purchased a few things from her. anyways...i am sorry to hear of your husband's accident and pray that he be strengthened, that your whole family be strengthened! i look forward to "getting to know you" through your blog as it seems very inspirational and encouragine! <br />i am also drawn and curious in something else you have mentioned...i am a stranger and so i understand if you don't want to respond, but i am struggling with something and after i read your last entry, i thought, well, maybe God allowed me to "meet" you for such encouragement as this.<br />i am a mother of two babies...emma is 4 and aidan is 2 1/2. i learned before i had both of my children that i had an anomaly with my uterus. i was told that i would be allowed several miscarriages before intervention. i found a second opinion...and yet diagnosed with another anomaly of the uterus. i had my two babies under that doctor's care....i was on bed rest for the last 10 weeks of my first pregnancy...(both babies were via csection)..and after my aidan was born, i hemorrhaged that night and came VERY CLOSE to not surviving it. it was the scariest moment of my life. thank the Lord, i was not done here. my doctor quit to stay at home with her children....so i was left to find another doctor. after not having a peace with the one that i found, i searched yet one more time...and found my current doctor. he and his daughter ( in practice together) have diagnosed me yet again, with an anomaly of the uterus...and i believe after much testing to be the correct diagnosis. i have a septate uterus, rather large fibroids among other issues. they have done a CT SCAN last week to see how involved my kidneys and colon are before doing a hysterectomy. i am EXTREMELY nervous of hemorrhaging again as my chances are higher. i am searching for encouragement and peace in this matter. i don't know too many people who have gone through this, and long story short, if you were willing to share....do you have anything encouraging for me? i know i am going out on a limb, and please forgive me if i am treading personal boundaries...forgive me. i am really scared and trying my best to trust Jesus...but i am human and i want to do the right thing...what is best for me and my family.<br />thank you so much for listening...if you made it this far in my comment...!<br />anyways...if i don't hear from you, i still look forward to reading what the Lord puts on your heart and hope to be encouraged and inspired by your writings!<br />sincerely...<br />shannon stinsonshannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155418573994676556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-35299507866086155542009-08-16T20:22:45.789-07:002009-08-16T20:22:45.789-07:00It often takes something of a challenge for us in ...It often takes something of a challenge for us in our life, to see the blessings that follow it. <br /><br />I am just so glad that the difficult times don't last forever, and that God is with us every step of the way. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-2968283791540369272009-08-16T18:08:40.684-07:002009-08-16T18:08:40.684-07:00Amen!!!
