As I sit here with Jack nestled up under me and the girls tossing and turning in their cribs.....I can't believe we've made it this far. One year ago tomorrow, my life changed drastically and we were blessed with two girls! I remember finding out it was twins and all the worrying about money, parenting, time and my mental health....but as usual the Lord delivers and in abundance! My test is now my testimony and I can say that when the flood gates opened for me things spilled in from every direction.
I was worried about diapers, food, clothes, money for daycare...how was I going to take care of three kids in the evenings while Dallas was at work? The Lord provided answers and people to help with every issue I could imagine and I want to take a moment to thank HIM and all of you for being there for us:
Lord, even when I was scared and my faith tested you found a way to give me an inner peace. Letting me know everything was going to be ok. Thank you. You opened people's hearts to my family in a way I could have never expected. This taught me to give thanks in all circumstances and I'm forever grateful!
My family - Betty, Sandra, Jazsmine, Reggie and my Grandmother....you guys were the first in line to buy clothes, formula and babysit when we needed it most...thank you!
Shea - My sister from another mister....you came to stay with us for months to help, the girls look at you as a second mom and love you as much as we do! Thank you homie
Fredda - You are always there when we need you ....especially when I was sick with a faulty gallbladder! I couldn't ask for a better friend.
Beth - Wow what can I say...the clothes, stroller and patience for my crazy ways. I'm truly blessed to have the best bossfriend in the world!
Juanita - My second mom and as much as a grandma to my girls as their blood relatives. You've always opened up your heart to me and now my kids. There are no words to express how much I love you guys and how well you've treated me all these years.
Melvin/Kristy - My busy besties...you're always calling and checking in on the family. It may seem small but it's more than some people do and it means a lot to me. I wish you lived closer!
Tiffany/Tamara/Lynn/Kiya - Thanks for a rocking baby shower and hanging in there with me even though I haven't been the most responsive friend since the kids have gotten here. Don't worry I plan to get rid of this mommy brain and get back on track!
If I haven't mentioned you personally it doesn't mean I don't appreciate you---it just means I don't want this blog to be too long :-) But seriously, thank you again Lord for blessing me by surrounding me with such great people! Now I'm going to pull my emotional self together and prepare for tomorrow and the best 1st birthday ever!
Psalm 105:1
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
