I debated on sharing this story....it is very close to my heart. Then I figured why not....I share everything else. :)
As many of you know it took us 4 years the get pregnant. The doctors didn't know why...and couldn't figure out why the medication they were giving me where not working......many times I was told I need to learn patience. Even the blessing I had during our fertility treatment experience I was told that I need to be patient.....That is not what someone wants to hear when they feel like they have been waiting forever. I started to get frustrated and lost faith that this was going to be in the cards for Jeff and I.
Soon after we announced we were expecting....people would share stories of how they have been praying for us....that meant the world to Jeff and I. I can never thank all of you enough. There is one story I learned a lot from. So here it is.
I received a email from my sister in law one day on Facebook about my nephew named Logan who is eight years old.....he is amazing.....I can always count on him being excited to see me....or tell me how he feels about me. He can always bring a smile to my face.
The Email said:
Logan has been asking me about you having a baby for the past year. I told him that you wanted a baby, but that Heavenly Father has a plan. That he could pray to HF to ask for what he wanted. He broke into verbal prayer every time no matter where or what we were doing. I wanted to tell you but didn't know how. We love you and are excited for you....all of us!
Of course I just cried trying to read this to Jeff. I felt so loved and grateful to have such great family.
We went to his baptism a couple of weeks later and he told everyone that I was pregnant. I loved his excitement. In one of the talks that was given to him they were talking about prayer and that his prayers will be answered. Right as the person said that he just stated that they already have been. I went and talked to him after and being me smothered him in hugs and kisses....he just kept saying I wanted you to have a kid so bad and that he was happy and I just kept telling him I loved him and thank you.
He has been such a example to me.....he just had such great faith and he didn't even fully understand the situation....I kept asking my self Why did I doubt god? Why didn't I just have faith that it was all going to work out like Logan did. He has taught me that I need to have faith and not doubt when things get hard. I hope that one day he will know how much this has meant to me and how much he means to me.
