Perspective from a nut

Wow its been a while. I'm back on the 14th of December... 2018. This is the day 5 years ago I almost died and I did loose my son at 5 months to Complete Placenta Previa. A condition I had never heard of until is happened to me and BAD.

I have 3 kids now. My son from a surrogate is 2 years old now. He is wonderful and beautiful. Today I really don't feel as sad.

I was teary eyed this morning only. A Pastor Thurston Meyer came to work to preach. He spoke about standing in the gap and praying for others. I recalled how 5 years ago my family and friends stood in the gap for me and prayed for me to stay alive. So here I am, alive and well.

So since 2014, I started boxing and gyming, getting healthy and eating better. I still have a scar from navel to pubic bone, but its much better now.

I love being fitter and healthier and even though I complain about my body often, I have done quite well.

Life always has its ups and downs but I count my blessings often. I am blessed and blessed to be a mother to my 3 great kids.

People are asking me how I feel today on the anniversary of my child's death, and Im really fine. 5 years have past and time heals, but Im restored, grateful and loved.

We all go through these trials you know. Some more difficult than others.
I remember my cousin told me about this movie, about the beginning showing this object and you cant make out what it is. Is it s rock, a meteor, what is it? You just cant make it out. Then the camera zooms out and you see its actually a nut. What is the moral of my story...
Well sometimes when you are in a situation, you cannot understand why you are going through something and its only once you are away or been through the situation that you find perspective in it, that you see why you went through what you did once you are on the other side.

Today, I wrote on a mother blog as a guest blogger. I used what I had been though to help other out there, and that in itself reminds me that:

God turns all things good for those who love Him and are called according to his purpose. 

Keep the faith
