It's All Worth It...

As most of you know, I have had a lot of pain with this pregnancy. I have been to the hospital twice, missed four days of work, and been hunched over in pain for hours at a time with nothing to even help relieve the pain. This all started last Sunday before Jer was to give his son a blessing. I feel so rotten for missing the blessing and for making Matt miss it, but I am so grateful to have a family that understands. Why am I telling you this? I don't want pity, I just wanted to write about what has come of it. I have been praying for help with the pain and I have recieved that help. It is not gone, but it is tolerable. I don't know whether my body is just used to the pain now or if the pain has lessened, but it is tolerable. So my prayer was answered. The power of prayer is truely amazing. I was also praying for understanding and for guidance. I now understand that no matter what this pregnancy causes me, I am so very grateful to be carrying my son. I know that no matter what happens, he is supposed to be here during this time and I was the one chosen to raise him. So to the bumps along the way I say, "BRING IT ON!!!" because I know I have the most powerful ally, My Heavenly Father. I also have a family who I know will be there no matter what happens. All the trials we go through are worth it in the end, because you would never be able to enjoy life the same without them.
