Almost a year after my last post, yes I am still here. I recently received a comment on my last post from someone named Jackie in Texas. Thank you for your kind words Jackie, and your prayers. My husband and I appreciate them very much. I too am sorry for your loss, I can not even imagine how hard it must have been to lose your baby so far into your pregnancy.
To answer your question, I disconnected somewhat last year but God still provided a wonderful Christmas for us, as you can see in the photo above with my little sister, my husband, and I. It was hard, but we are blessed, as always.
It's hard sometimes to write when your not sure what to. I love Christmas, and that's what this blog is about, but life's circumstances make it difficult to look forward to Christmas sometimes, even as much as I love it.
Just when you think your recovering it seems that there is another roadblock there to steal your joy. We found out we were pregnant again this May, and right before I started my second trimester, once again we lost our baby. The last year has been the absolute hardest of my life. I know God is still there, still listening and still working, but sometimes my heart cries out "When will it be our time?". My husband and I are both so anxious to share our world with our own family and want to expierence the joy of children. We have a wonderful support group of family and friends who are there for us constantly, praying, talking and just being there. Without God and them, I don't think we could have handled this last year on our own.
Thank you Jackie for inspiring something in me with your note. It's nice to know someone does read these posts, even if they're a year out of date, and that a stranger who doesn't know me, cares. That to me sums up the Christmas spirit, and what it should be year-round, better than any card or movie could. I do intend to post on here more frequently. I can't guarantee how often, because life is busy with family, work, and other daily randomness, but I promise, it won't be a year before my next post again.
For any of you who still follow this blog or read it, thank you as well for your continued reading and support. May God bless you richly!
