I am only 4 months have been to the ER twice thus far, which has caused anxiety. My first pregnancy was a cake walk compared to this! I too wonder why God has let me endure so much...<br />Isn't it amazing how God has made our bodies and how he's made us to endure so much, with him. <br />God Bless and thanks for your post!<br />Your girl is a beauty.<br />B from Kansas CityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-5222174953377736312011-07-02T13:35:02.668-04:002011-07-02T13:35:02.668-04:00And what a beautiful little miracle she is!And what a beautiful little miracle she is!Tatumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038394087642483207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-70642827355972151262011-07-01T12:59:36.754-04:002011-07-01T12:59:36.754-04:00Thank you for sharing!Thank you for sharing!Lil Mama Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311577182493946745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-26016088215791564272011-07-01T11:04:11.116-04:002011-07-01T11:04:11.116-04:00You always know how to make me cry!

This story remi...What an honest and heartfelt post. This story reminded me of a very different story. (If I remember this right.)<br /><br />A friend's twin sister got engaged to a man she loved, who loved her—but over the course of their engagement, he repeatedly doubted, broke things off, came back, over and over. My friend was flabbergasted that her sister could stand for this (I suppose her sister must have been guided by the Lord).<br /><br />During this hard time, the sister spoke with the lay minister of her and her sometime-fiance's congregation. The minister assured her that this was to give her experience that she would need later. She did end up marrying her fiance, and from what I heard, they were happy.<br /><br />A few years later, my friend became engaged, and <em>her</em> fiance went through the same doubt cycle. Although her twin's pain had seemed like suffering without reason at the time, it came to be an experience she could use to succor her sister in her time of need, and to help her sister through her own turmoil. (And my friend also married her doubtful fiance, and they were also happy.)<br /><br />Whenever I hear a story when someone says, "I don't know why I had to go through this," I can't help but wonder if it might have been preparation to help someone else in pain.Jordan McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523599384793856702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-64771557702892738292011-06-30T23:40:26.857-04:002011-06-30T23:40:26.857-04:00Your story moved me, Nikki.

I went through 2 (early) miscarriages, and had several serious issues with each of my 3 pregnancies, but just as you beautifully said, there were others believing and praying - even if it was just Jesus sitting at God's right hand - He is more than enough. I love 1 John 3:20: "If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows all." Thank you for sharing your story. xoxo micheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-40795477787173343892011-06-30T23:18:26.012-04:002011-06-30T23:18:26.012-04:00Oh Nikki, that is so touching!
