Research

I waited about a day after the appointment to start my research. I was terrified of what I might see.  I was determined to find some other women that were going through the same thing and children that had been through this too. I did find some women on Babycenter. Then soon after found that some had blogs about there experiences. These women and there stories are amazing. It just confirmed God's plan for Andy and I. Through all of this we will rest our faith in God that he will provide and give us peace in whatever we are given . I am determined to share my experience with others that might be faced with this one day and hopefully give them hope and confidence to trust in the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord will all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all you ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
