Wow 2 blogs in one day! Its a miracle! Last Year I heard a song by this singer that was about reaching out in a time of loss and trying to hang on.. I found another song and I think it really describes my year, I have learned alot about myself this past year. My strengths, weaknesses, where I fall short God picks me up and I come out of 2007 with a love for people, myself and God. There is no doubt that I have seen huge personal growth this year and I am excited to see what 2008 brings for all those that I love. Happy New Year everyone! Enjoy the song, maybe it will inspire you as much as has done for me!

Abby December 31, 2006
It's been 1 year today that Abby grew wings and as i sit here in the quiet of the morning reflecting on all that has changed in the last year my heart and mind are overwhelmed by the significance of Abby's short life. It was a life that no one but me ever felt or saw, it was a life that was lived out in my mind from birth to what I dreamed for her.. even though it is a life that never had a breath here it is one that has deeply changed me forever for the better.
I was reading this morning and this verse stood out to me: " He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they can not fathom what God has done from beginning to end" Ecclesiastes 3:11
I read these words and it their truth came alive in me God has taken me from the sadness of loss and a year later has made it beautiful for me, at the time there was nothing good that could have come from her loss but now I see clearly what I could not see then. My life is in God's hand and that trust that I have in him came from this event in my life. Abby is well taken care of in God's hand and I have no fear or doubt that she is fine. A friend said something to me once that at the time I did not believe or understand but now I hold dearly: there will come a time at the end of my life whenever that may be that when I get to heaven I will be standing there and the Lord will take me by the hand and tell me that he has someone for me to meet, then he will introduce me to my daughter in a way that I did not get to know her here. That is something that not every person will have the honour of doing. So I live my life with joy and excitement because God has blessed me with a new life that will be full filled here and I find joy in knowing that my Abby is cared for by the best hands possible- God my father.
So today New Years Eve 2007 I reflect back and I thank God that he took away my despair and gave my heart a new song and I know that I have only seen the beginning of what he will do in my life. Thank you God for my year it has changed me for the better. Thank you for Abby, that I carry her every day in my heart, and for my son that grows and kicks right now ... in the words of old I am truly blessed among women.
