A life changing day

May 22, 2012- the day that a prayer had been answered and our family is going to GROW!  Joy, thankfulness, and shock all rolled into one moment. 
Here are the events leading up to seeing the little plus sign.
May 19- Mom and Dad and us load up in our van for a trip to Alex’s graduation. My apple tastes a little funny on the way down and I get a little carsick when we get to the hills of Kearney but so does my mom so I write it off.
May 20- Day 28- feeling very crampy with backache and a stomach twinges.
May 21st- Take a pregnancy test mid-day and think I see a tiny blue speck where there would be the positive vertical line, but other than that it looks negative. Mad at myself for thinking I was pregnant. Report to Adam that I took a test that may or may not have had a little positive speck on it. He emphatically states that I am not pregnant and there is no such thing as a slightly positive test.
May 22nd- Pregnancy test first thing in the morning. I watch and wait. Not immediately positive. Bury head in hands and ask myself why I keep wasting money on tests. Look up again and see a plus sign!!  Wait until Adam is out of the shower and then tell him that I need help reading this one, because I must not be very good at it.  He takes it, looks, drops jaw, looks at me, looks at test, looks at me, looks at test. “You ARE pregnant!”


Trusting in God means trusting in His timing. I love these mirror cards that hang in my bathroom and this one was staring me in the face this morning- it’s soooo true! Thank you for this HUGE blessing and for answering our prayers, always within your divine timing and plan.
