What We Deserve


This took us a long time to understand. With every miscarriage, we took it as God saying “No,” “You are unfit”, or “You aren’t good enough.”  We got mad, downright angry.  Our prayers turned into fights with God.  We would constantly challenge Him that if He wasn’t going to let us keep the child, why would He let us get pregnant?  Why did He let our hopes get high again and again to only take the baby back?  Why would he let the heart start beating if it was going to stop?  We took it personal.

Now we understand that it is not about us or our plans. When we look back on our experiences, we realize that God has been planning this journey for us long before we knew Him. That everything He allowed us to experience, good and bad, has shaped us for the walk he has planned for us. He knows what He is doing. His plan will always be better than ours. Because of His plan, we will get the opportunity to experience a family we never could have dreamed of before.

Eternally grateful,
Danny and Andrea
