Graititude

I was thinking this morning before church and realized how informational/negative my posts have seemed and I wanted to fix that. That is definitely not my intention, but with nothing going right with this transition and my baby and all of that, I did forget to write about the good things. 

First off, I am grateful to my in laws, my parents and my brother Adam and his family for their willingness to take us in this summer. That has been a true blessing to us. My kids have adapted and seem to be doing great now. I'm grateful that my father in law was my dr during my miscarriage and that I was living at their house during the process. I knew I was in good hands and that I would be taken care of. And, I was. 

I'm also very grateful for the few friends I had who cared to contact me and help me through this summer. One in particular helped me talk through the miscarriage which prevented me from allowing myself to try to figure out what I may have done wrong to lose the baby. She helped me talk through everything enough to make me realize that I wasn't ever going to carry this baby to term. That was crucial in being able to emotionally heal from it quickly. 

Even though it seems nothing is working out, I am also very grateful for the knowledge I have that everything is happening as it is for a a reason and that the God is aware of me, my family and our situation. I know everything will work out as it's supposed to. We have been fortunate as a family to have everything we've ever planned work out the way we planned it up until this summer. It only seems right that we go through these trials as a family. It has helped us become stronger and our relationships grow closer together. I'm grateful for that.
