Thank you God.

I am preaching this Sunday, courtsey of my husband's pushiness. (God, I love him, but sometimes I wish he didn't always need to push me). Ah, and here I am debating on what to speak about... what does God want to have said? It is Mother's day... do I go from that?
But here I am lingering on the love of God to pull us through the worst times in our lives... A thought ran through my head today, I remember Julie saying (when we had first found about Kellen) how it was so frustrating to see this happen to a Christian couple. Today, I thought thank God, Kellen happened to Dwayne and I... we had/have God to get us through. When we went home the first time I was given the phone number of a lady that the cardiology nurse thought I would get along with. She wasn't Christian... and she explained how they had found out while she was pregnant about her son's heart condition.... so they went ahead and did amniocentisis to see if there was any other health problems. She told me that if there had been anything else... they were going to terminate the pregnancy, or if they discovered after having the baby they would have chosen "compassionate" care (where they just let the baby die). I had been so frustrated because she would have killed Kellen over, and over and over again.... and really if you have met him, can you imagine this world without him? I am thankful that God allowed us to have Kellen, that we were given him, that God holds us up to get us through every challenge. Thank you God for blessing us with this beautiful child.
