I don't even know where to start. God has been with me all my life, but especially the past five years through many happy occasions, and also a few sad ones.
He first blessed me five years ago with the wonderful man I am married to today. He is a man that has the same great traits my mother had, among them patience, which is what is most needed to be married to me. A year after we were married, we were blessed with our first son. We enjoyed two wonderful years and found out we were expecting again. Sadly, that pregnancy ended with a stillborn at 20 weeks. That was an extremely difficult time, but God was there with us to help get us through it.
About a year after that we were blessed with a second son who brings great joy to our family. Unexpectedly, we found out we were expecting a few months later, which ended in a miscarriage. That was a difficult time as well, but God knows what is meant to be.
Then, in September 2008 I started having migraines and after an MRI found out I had a brain tumor. That was the most devasting news. I could not imagine what was going to happen, if I would even still be here to take care of my family.
I had brain surgery December 17, 2008 and was home recuperating for the Christmas break. Unfortunately, a month later I developed a horrible infection and had to go back in the hospital for a week to receive heavy-duty IV antibiotics. I went home and was on IV antibiotics for two weeks, but the infection came back again after a month. I was put on another round of antibiotics and the infection finally went away completely.
Fast forward to now, and I am completely better. No one can even tell that I've been through brain surgery. Not only that, but my husband and I are expecting again. God has blessed us in so many ways and has been there with us when the going got tough. I can't imagine my life without my faith in God. We haven't always been able to make it to church with my health issues lately, but we are always praying and teaching our children the Christian faith.
