Last night I opened a message from our birth mom and found a link she had sent to this. I have followed Lindsey's blog a bit, but honestly hadn't looked at it for awhile. Her message and personal experiences are amazing. I of course was crying because her message is so close to my heart. I understand what it's like to be told you'll never have children...to feel completely broken and devastated. When I first heard the news from our doctor I was at work. Cody had an appointment that he went to by himself and called me afterwards. At first I remember being in complete shock and even laughing as I listened to Cody tell me about what the doctor had told him. I was just so stunned and those words "you have a better chance of winning the lottery 5 times" kept ringing through my head. Once I let it settle in a bit I remember just crying and calling family and friends for support.
Now looking back on something that seemed to be the end of the world I am amazed to see how blessed I have been. I could never have known what was in store for me. Never.
Lindsey says "But I think the Lord has asked us and expects us to take the trials we are given and turn them into something beautiful."
Love that.

Great post and great link! Thanks for sharing.
Kimmy, I remember when you called me after you found out that news...and I also remember when you told me you were getting Ryker, and then when you were pregnant with Maguire! If only we could understand why we have to go through the things we do...and now look at your adorable little family! You have absolutely turned your trials into something beautiful!! xo
oops, that last message was from me, not Gray...obviously! Hahaha!!!
Life changing words. Love that quote.
