Where to start... Well my life is about to get a whole lot busier this summer! My husband and I are moving in May back into apartments, but much closer to everything ie: church, friends, work. We are excited about moving, and moving on with our family. For almost the last year we have been taking care of my elderly Grandmother with Alzheimer's disease. It has been a huge blessing and challenge. It first of all has helped us get Alan through school without having to work full time as well. Such a blessing! He has been working so hard for his family to get done with school. He will finish his degree in computer networking this summer. It has been a long time coming after moving so much and switching his major from nursing to the IT field. It is amazing to me how he is doing so well and yet all of his IT text books look like they are written in a secret coded language. He get's a kick out of asking me to try and read them. He loves to make fun of his wife and how she can't read IT text books. haha. My brain was not made to function well with anything computer-ish. I hate computers actually. lol.
So back to the main point...hehe. My Grandma is moving out in May to go to a care facility and we will be moving out as well. Another HUGE life change will be the welcoming of two identical twin girls to our growing family in July! little Miss Claire and Chloe Whittemore. We are thrilled, but also a little nervous about all things twin. How are we going to do it you might wonder (and as I have wondered occasionally as well)? Totoally relying on God and family to get us through those first couple of months. I have heard those will be the most challenging. I can only imagine, as with my son Boaz(now 18 months old) who needed mommy and her milk supply so frequently. I often felt like a cow, now add TWO into that mix! Oh Boy, or Girls I might say. But I know that every tiny finger(there will be 20 of them), every little coo and smile will make up for all the challenging times. And not to mention the miracle of it all, me having twins without the help of fertility drugs or due to my age or genetic history. All God's handiwork right there. He just amazes me more and more! I read that identical twinning is NOT based off of the maternal age or genetic history or anything like that. It is a medical mystery why the egg splits. When I read that I got goosebumps. It's all God and his infinite wisdom. The creator of life. He decided to give me two! Just simply amazing to me. As I am typing this, I feel them both fluttering all around in there. How can someone study reproduction or be pregnant and NOT think there is a God?! There are so many tiny little things that have to happen just right at the right time for everything to function correctly. Studying up on twins has opened up my eyes even more to how awesome our Creator is. I'd like to end by posting a couple verses from one of my favorite hymn's.
"How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure, that He should give His only Son to make a wretch his treasure. Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders, ashamed I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers. It was my sin that held him there, until it was accomplished. His dying breath has brought me LIFE I know that it is finished! I will not boast in anything, no gifts no power no wisdom, but I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and Ressurection!" AMEN!!! :) God bless you all. Remember, we are saved by his GRACE that was freely given upon the Cross. I am slowly beginnning to truly understand the meaning of Grace.
