One year ago on February 23, 2010 my nephew was born. He was perfect in every way. I love him more than anything. This past Saturday we had a party for him it was a great celebration with cake, balloons, food, and lots of presents. Don't get me wrong I love my nephew with all of my heart and would do anything for him. All I keep thinking is I should have a perfect almost 5 month old baby to see touch, smell and hold. But God had other plans for that baby. Which wasn't always ok with me. I have come to relize that he had a greater plan. This wasn't very easy for me to take or what I wanted I wanted my baby. But I'm looking forward to what god holds for my husband and I. He is in control and I'm ok with that. So celebrating life is wonderful I just hope I get the chance to get to experince that feeling again with my own baby or babies someday. I know all I have to do is have faith and everything will be ok.
I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
Everything will be ok, and God will provide for your needs. I am so sorry it was a trying day. It is so hard to not think about the what would have beens..I should have a one year old, but like you said it was not God's plans for us. He seems to know what is best for us even when we don't understand. I am praying for peace for you..you really are a great aunt!
