One Month Old Today

WOW

One month old today!

I am so blessed to have been able to do this surrogacy. God is so GOOD! I am blessed everyday. Last night at our ladies small group got together for a monthly meeting. We studied God's love and how to make an invisible God visible through our acts of love. That is all I want to do, share God's love. Most days I am certain "my" attitude blocks what I want to be seen.

I love that the mother of this baby has God's story to share. I Iove to hear her stories of peoples' reaction to sharing it. It makes me cry tears of joy at how God is being seen. This was something that I struggled with. I did not want people to be looking at me. The attention made me uncomfortable. I liked it at times, but most times I wanted to be invisible and God be visible. He deserves all the praise and glory.

Please pray that His story continues to touch lives. That He is made visible.

Recovery

God is so GOOD!

My recovery has been an act of GOD.

I returned to work the Monday following surgery. Everybody, but my boss, told me it was too soon. As I stated in the beginning of this journey, work has not been supportive in any way.

I was amazed at how much walking hurt the first time, and the several times after that. But, I was more amazed at how quickly the pain stopped and my energy came back. The doctor let me go home Thursday. It was great to sleep in my own bed and snuggle with my husband again.

I started pumping at the hospital but found it much easier to do at home. I was able to give the intended parents a couple of weeks supply of milk to supplement the formula.

I find it hard to believe there are people that don't believe in God, when I look at the the all the different jobs my body can do.

Life quickly returned to the normal pace.
  • kids
  • work
  • church

I would do this again and again. This journey is a BLESSING. I am so thankful to God that He LOVES me this much.

Praise GOD!

Please continue to pray for the parents and their beautiful baby.
