Seventeen years of wedded bliss had gone by before the labor pains hit me. Twelve of those years were spent on the infertility roller coaster. UP & DOWN. My spiritual life grew UP as my Sweet Lord walked and sometimes even carried me DOWN through some dark valleys. After many of those years I had come to a place of contentment, UP(I was lying to myself)DOWN, and I asked the Lord that if I was not to be a mother would He please remove my desire. UP. So as the contentment seemed to cover me I got scared...oh this means I AM NOT going to ever have a baby. DOWN.
Then in the fullness of time-October 15, 1992-everything melted into that moment. Samuel, asked of the Lord just like Hannah's Samuel of the old testament, my Samuel arrive and here he is 4 days old.

12 yrs.
17 years later...I am still on a roller coaster.
Just a different one!
But what a ride, we have enjoyed every
twist and turn.
Happy Birthday my sweet Samuel!
Love, Mommo
