Yuck, ice! This ice storm has taken me down memory lane a bit. During the horrible ice storm that hit McAlester in January 2007, I lost our first child. As we were hunkering down this past Monday preparing for the worst, my mind kept going back to Matt and I huddled in front of the fire knowing that we were losing the baby and there was nothing we could do to stop it. I shut myself off from much of the world that week as I battled with God why He would take away something we had wanted for so long. Little did we know that God had BIG things in store for our little family the very next month as we found that I was once again expecting.
Fast forward two years later and here we are with a 15 month old bundle of joy! Looking back on that awful time in our lives, I know that God was showing me that I needed to rely on His timing instead of doing things when and how I wanted them. Yesterday, my sister sent me a link to a blog that I was so drawn through that I read from beginning to end throughout the day. Little did Wendy know just how much I needed the words in that blog yesterday. Thanks Wend! One major quote that spoke to me most said, "And I know there'll be days when this life brings me pain, but if thats what it takes to praise You Jesus bring the rain." Wow!
