New life, literally & figuratively, is the greatest blessing one can imagine! A week ago we welcomed my sweet nephew into this world and emotions were at an all time high! Grandparents were ecstatic, aunts/uncles were giddy, parents blissful, and so much joy filled the air. It's those moments we want to grasp onto... esp. in moments we doubt love, perhaps God's love, or we doubt our purpose/existence, or when life is just too hard... We must cherish that moment we are blessed to see a miracle, a miracle of life! It's when the beauty of a God who gives us love, grace, & new life (through children & through being HIS child) is beyond evident...
It's this truth that I dwell on as my husband & I prepare to start the journey of hope that God will bless us with more children. After our miscarriage I find myself constantly battling fear, overpowering fear (fear of another lost life or of not being blessed with another life to cherish). But, as I see new life around me, & remember how much love a mother can have, how surreal it is holding a tiny baby, and just how beautiful the process of new life is... I embrace the fear and simply trust, because it is such a beautiful gift from our loving God!
