Abortion

The heartache I have had after hearing about a dear friend who has had an abortion is just unimaginable. It ripped me open....and I thought hearing about a miscarriage/still birth was rough.  This person is already a mother.  How can it be that she and her husband could ever make such a decision.  I let it sink in, trying not to judge...but failing at first.  Trying not to have harsh feelings, but it took me a while to get past them.  I started reading blogs about abortion.  More heart break.  One career driven mother said she felt empowered by the abortion.  How absolutely unbelievable.  Feeling empowered by the act of killing your own child!?! This sounded like pure evil.  Again trying not to judge, but wow!  There is no way of justifying that.  How can someone who is ALREADY a mother feel even remotely at peace about doing such a thing?  Maybe sometimes she doesn't?.?.  How can that be an option when you are a grown woman?  How do people take life so lightly?  Can these women look at their children without guilt, without pain in knowing they killed one so much like them?  I weep for them.  

Having been through 2 miscarriages before successfully having a baby taught me just how miraculous and fragile life is.  The fear of losing another one was so overwhelming for me that I waited as long as I could to tell the people around me, and even until he was born to tell my close friends who lived in other states.  It taught me to trust God's timing, His plans, and His grace even more.  I should have never doubted Him.  He has blessed me beyond words with the most amazing son who is healthy, happy, and handsome:).  If He continues to bless in the future with more, I will only give Him praise.

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
