Journaling Reads:
Some say that the past is best left forgotten, but I disagree. Today I find myself reminiscing about the past a lot, because ten years ago, on this day, our son, Andrew, was born. It was my very first baby, and everything was supposed to go so perfectly. I'd been so careful during my pregnancy, eating everything I should, and avoiding the things I shouldn't. So, when Drew was born sick, I was shocked. I spent hours by his bedside crying and praying. God was my strength during that time. People often say that you won't really understand the grace of God until you've actually experienced it, and that is so true. God gave me a peace that is unexplainable. It passes all understanding, but it was there as the doctors sat us down and told us that there was nothing more that they could do. Our son had two months to live at the most. I knew at that point, that God was the only one who could heal our son. And that is exactly what God did. He stepped in and gave us a miracle. Now, ten years later, I enjoy visiting the past. Remembering the doctor's lost hope. Remembering how God stepped in and healed our son. And as I look at my son today, now ten years old and so full of life, I am so very thankful. And I pause to remember and to thank God anew for what He did for our family. Happy Birthday Drew!
