4 years ago today.

I took my second ever positive pregnancy test.
It was one of the best unplanned things that ever happened to me.
Right alongside her brother's positive pregnancy test, that is.

At this point in my life, I cannot imagine that there was ever a time that a positive result could have ever been anything other than pure bliss - but neither of my 'positive test experiences' were any kind of bliss.

I think I will always regret that.
I wish I could have clicked my heels a little more.
How precious and how very planned by God those little lives were.
At the time, I just couldn't see it.

But now I see it.
And I am so glad for them both.
Thank You Father for knowing exactly what I needed, even when I couldn't begin to understand. I love You.

Didn't you take like 9 positive pregnancy test when you found out you were pregnant with J? Planned or unplanned, you're never really prepared for parenthood.

this situation is now very close to my heart. my 17 year old niece is pregnant. she will graduate from high school in may. there are no plans for a marriage at this time and we support her decision.

i told her i was so proud of the decision to keep the baby. our family and her mother has handled all of the news so well. i am proud of our family and her. she is working in a nursing home that is going to help her go to nursing school. she will then owe them some time after she graduates from school.

i am so proud of her. and i am so proud of you and proud to call you my friend. what a blessing your two little ones have in a mother like you.

your children will rise and call you blessed. because you are a woman of God who actually walks her faith. i know God is proud of you for sharing your testimony.

God bless you my sweet friend.
i am reminded that all things work together for good for those that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

love you,
kimmie
