I...Hey, Rachel, thanks for your comment on my blog. I considered telling you & jeff that night what I was going through, but it just didn't seem like the right moment. Besides, it's much more fun to laugh sometimes (like we did with y'all), and I had already hashed it out for a few hours with the girls that morning. <br /><br />But I wanted to tell you this: this particular post you wrote about JB's birth was meaningful to me. When I first read it, several weeks ago, I was having a particularly tormenting day, really really considering leaving my faith. But I read your words that God spoke to you, "Don't be afraid, etc." - the words God spoke right before going to have your c-section. Rachel, in that moment, those same word jumped off the computer screen and spoke to me. I began to weep when I read those words, and I felt like God was speaking the very same thing to me, to my heart as well. That was a good moment for me, for that was when things changed for the good, if only a baby step. It was so sudden and unexpected, but I was comforted and peaceful after that, when I had been tormented and confused just before.<br /><br />So, I felt a supernatural peace, and God, (as I understand Him ;-) used your experience to encourage me. So thanks. And you're a good friend and a good listener. I'm thankful for you.leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738568999331894169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516025001347413563.post-9043012891544821262011-02-24T19:17:29.365-06:002011-02-24T19:17:29.365-06:00That was the most precious, touching,spiritual lif...That was the most precious, touching,spiritual lifting story!!
