I am 24 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Wow! 24 weeks! What a blessing. In my past three pregnancies I never made it past 6 weeks. Everyday is a gift! I am thankful everyday for this life growing inside of me. I have a new level of faith that I would not have had without the trails I went through. God knows what he is doing. I hated it at the time, and didn't understand it, but I know His purpose supersedes my desires .
My focus is on my son now. But that is not my only focus. I can't help but want to help others who are going through what I went through. I have a friend who I pray for daily. I told her I often smile before, during, or after my prayers because my faith in God and in her situation is so strong. I know she will one day feel what I currently feel being pregnant. Her and her husband are so deserving of a child. I pray for their children by name (the names they have chosen) and can't wait until they are here with us.
Maybe I went though all that I went through, not only for myself, but to help others.
Blessed to be a blessing.
Nikia, you are an incredible blessing and "thank you" could never say enough. I appreciate all your love and support. Your blog posts always move me to tears. I cannot wait to see you again and meet Matthew very soon! XO
