Four years ago...

Four years ago, when I was 20 weeks pregnant with the twins, I was told that one or both of them may not make it.  There was a good chance we would lose one. 

Four years ago, when we were diagnosed as having twin to twin transfusion syndrome, that this condition does not correct itself and the condition only worsens.

Four years ago, when we were overwhelmed with the thought of losing our babies, we prayed like we had never prayed before.  Our friends, our family, our community, and beyond prayed for their healing.  

Four years ago we had no idea what the future held, but we never doubted who held each of their futures.  

Now, four years later, we look back on a miracle.  Their lives are a testimony of great healing with all the praise given to God.  The doctors had no explanation (don't you just LOVE that!) and they were born 100% perfect in every way.  

As hard as it is to think about, and even harder to experience, we know that the days of our children's lives are not in our hands.  We know that they belong to the father in heaven.  And while we prayed for the healing of these two girls, we praise him not just because he healed them, we praise him first and foremost because he is good.  He is good whether healing comes or not.  God is just so, so good.  

But every year, during October, I will remember what the world said and I will remember what my God said.  He said BE HEALED and I will give all the glory and all the praise to Jesus, for choosing to heal these two so that their lives may reflect HIM.
