A friend, or I should say an acquaintance, was recently welcomed to the magical club. A dear friend and I pray for her everyday. After thinking and praying for her I was forced to relive my moments as a new mommy in the NICU. All I could pray was that I left people knowing that I clung to God. I never wanted to be perceived as a man made parent.
You see, every opportunity we are presented with God has given us. Unfortunately we would all love to say that we made those opportunities happen. But the truth be told we are just a minor detail in his grand plan. I am the parent I am because of the opportunities God has given me. I am blessed to be involved in every therapy and doctors appointment. God knew the parent Elizabeth needed. I am a FIRM believer that God had Jay and I molded for this opportunity years ago. Had I not married Jay, went to college, and had a completely different life.. I do not feel God would have given me this opportunity. And its certainly one I would never want to miss!
One of Jay's family members came to visit yesterday. She explained the situation she was going through with her children. She had the exact answer a GOD made parent would. She simply replied to her child's question by holding up her Bible and quoting it. Personally I want to answer my child's question that way. I want to be a GOD made parent! My prayer for myself and everyone else is that we strive to be a GOD made parent.
