9 months

I don't really have any profound words today.  Nine months ago today, my life changed forever.  I can honestly say I am different in many ways than what I was before that cold November day.  I have learned to rely on the support of so many people.  I have learned that God is a faithful God who loves me and cherishes me as His child.  I have learned that this life is but a blip on our radar.  I have learned how precious life is, how a perfectly formed little baby girl, my daughter, taught me about an even deeper love and has taught me to hold Maggie and Elliott a little tighter.  I have learned how amazing my husband is and how much he loves me and would do anything for me.  I have learned to trust a little more and to let go of MY plans because they are not HIS plans. 

I have learned to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

I have learned that "‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

I have learned that "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."(Romans 8:28)

I have learned that "I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done." (Psalm 118:17) 

I have learned that "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."  (James 1:12)
