I want to share with you, how wonderful Our Lord is and how faithful He is to his word. For 3 years Mark and I tried to have a baby and 3 times I got pregnant but because of my health and diabetes etc... I ended up having 3 miscarriages. In my 3rd pregnancy I had a dream and the Lord told me I would have a baby boy and that his name would be Zachariah, well a couple of weeks later I had my miscarriage and I /we were devastated.Especially after my DNC when the doctor said definately no more babies. We cried and admittedly I have to say that for a very brief moment I was upset with God. But yet a second dream came and He had the same words for me.And when I commented it to people(my family) they were looking at me like I was crazy??My father even suggested that I should go to therapy because I was now talking to God in my"Dreams" because of the desperation of wanting to have a baby. Well NO...I was not going crazy! I said to myself well life goes on...This was a very bad Christmas..hubby off at PLDC ..me just out of the hospital...etc.. In March when the first round of soldiers came home we decided to go and visit a friend and welcome him home.When we arrive a young lady was sitting outside next door with a beautiful tiny premie(3lb) baby boy.She looks a bit frustrated and aggravated so I look at her and jokingly comment to her, hey if you don't want him we'll take him and I smiled and walked away. A week maybe 3 days later I get a phone call it was a Sunday I had just come home from church and my friend says Hey Des, this girl wants to know if you were serious about that baby..wow I jumped up and said YES!!We were eccstatic so we go over she gives us the baby and all his belongings and the rest is history. I did talk to her and let her know about life later on and regrets etc...She said that she had an affair and she would rather keep her hubby than the baby..and I by no means in this world judge her..I feel so much love for her for being the vessel in which God delivered unto us our miracle. The rest is between her God.All I know is that we love our child with all our hearts and never ever will I doubt my Lord! I present to you..
