Something More

I usually don't post twice in one day, but God has been nudging me for days to share this and I finally stopped long enough to listen. Let me explain...after our first round of fertility treatments and my miscarriage, I went through a really hard time...mostly behind closed doors. A friend gave me a Kristy Starling CD with a song called "Something More" on it. I listened to the words of the song and they couldn't be more fitting for what I was going through at the time. And, most importantly, I had to hold on to the fact that no matter the circumstances of that moment, I couldn't lose sight of what God had in store for me. My faith in that promise is what got me through that time. I haven't heard that song or listened to that CD in three years or more, but something made me think about it the other day and I went through every CD in my car today trying to find it. I finally found it, plugged it into the CD player, and listened to the words on the way home this afternoon. It's funny how I had even forgotten some of the words and how meaningful they were to me both then and now. I realized as I listened to the song that the Lord definitely led me to "Something More," because as I looked in my rearview mirror and into the backseat there were two beautiful children staring back at me. Wow! They were definitely worth the wait and I am so blessed to have them in my life. There's not a day that goes by that I don't thank the Lord for my children. There were so many nights that I would lay in Colin's arms sobbing and wondering if we would ever have children of our own. I share all of this because we all go through tough times and one of you may be having a tough week and just need a little encouragement. I know that the Lord didn't nudge me to rummage through all of my CDs for nothing, so I hope you'll listen to the words and that they may inspire you to keep the faith despite hard times. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOMBo6tDWUg
