I wanted to take this post and thank everyone who prayed for us during our difficult time conceiving. For a while, I was doubting that the Lord actually heard my prayers for a child. I see now that I was completely wrong, and I am more than grateful.
One of my sisters friends had been in Rome early in December this past year. He had also sent a postcard before he had heard of our pregnancy. Here's what it said:
"Dear Sean and Laura,
Greetings from Roma!
This is a great painting. Mother of Divine Providence. Judging from all the things hung all around it on the walls in thanksgiving for favors, I'd say she's good for getting babies. So I lit a candle for you guys here, and then gave some money for the poor to thank God ahead of time, so He kinda has to now. Anyways, you guys should do the same and let me know if its a boy or a girl!"
I about fell over when I got this postcard in the mail. It was about three days after we found out we were expecting. This was truely something I needed to see. My faith as of late has been very weak, I have been struggling a lot with God's Will for my life. I was selfish I think, and weak. I don't blame God for feeling this way, I know what I have to do. This pregnancy is nothing short of a miracle, I truely believe that. Im trying very hard to give all of my worries and anxieties to God, because this isn't my baby. What I mean is, without the Lord, none of this is even possible. This child and the other to follow are just on loan from Him. I can't believe how unbelievebly blessed we are.
Deo Gratias.
