About Me
22 years old, mother to a 3 year old son and 1 month old daughter. Trusting my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ for everything, He works all things together for the good of those who love Him *** Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is a miracle... Life is not about the number of breaths we take, rather the number of moments that take our breath away... "For I know the plans I have for you" says the Lord Jer 29:11 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7

So good to hear from you my friend. I'm glad to hear you are doing well and God is giving you the strength to not self harm. I know that if we can just keep trusting He is faithful to see us through. You will have to post some new pictures of Matthew so I can see how much he has grown. You will be a mommy again soon. Keep us posted on her delivery. Love and Hugs and thank you for letting me know how you are. I have wondered so often. Donna
