Day Three of Thankfulness

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
and with my song I shall thank Him.
Psalm 28:7

Without God and His unfailing grace, I have no idea where I would be.  He has helped me through so much. At so many times throughout our journey, I was ready to give up and ask why me.  Yesterday I talked about giving up control to God.  It's hard for anyone to trust, much less trust that God will provide in His timing.  I know that God knew what He was doing all along, but it didn't make the situation hurt any less.  Giving up control and trusting in Him was not something that happened over night for me.  It was a process that required much prayer.  Once I was able to trust in Him, the bad things didn't seem quite so bad anymore.  And believe me, a chemical pregnancy, having multiple surgeries and procedures along with hospitalization for five days was extremely far from being pleasant.  Somehow through all of that, Brandon and I were able to find joy and peace in the midst of our trials.  I know that without God's love we would be where we are today-11 weeks pregnant.
