So I prayed a lot. And I specifically prayed that I would know how to help my boy stay in bed at night.
While I was sorting the laundry, an idea came to my mind clearly. A way to set up rewards and how to implement the plan. Then I remembered that one of the speakers at General Conference mentioned that ideas from the Holy Ghost could come into our minds at any time - so pay attention and keep that channel clear.
I'm very grateful that the channel was clear and the message came through.
Another miracle was just some thoughts I had while rocking my baby to sleep. I realized that I was now holding a baby I never thought would come. 2008 brought two miscarriages and the emotions that come with it. But it all seems so far away when I hold the baby and feel her head get heavy on my shoulder. Life is a miracle and babies come to families when the Lord knows they should.
She'll be 3 months tomorrow.
You are truly blessed Emily! Your children are all so beautiful. Everything you said in this blog is so true. I need to work on keeping my channel clear for sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow Em. That is awesome! What a good reminder. That reminds me that I made up a song about Sarah, maybe someday I can show it to you. It's about 30 seconds long and not too impressive but I wrote it on a boat ramp in Moab one time as I thought about you and her. She truly is a miracle baby. Happy 3 months Sarah!!! (is it with an h? wow I don't even know how to spell my own nieces name!)
