This ones not about me. Okay, okay, it sort of is.
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago...but not that long ago...a little girl with brown hair saw a little girl with blond hair and they fell into...an apartment lease together.
The real story is that I met my other better half a few years ago and it was jovial cynicism at first sight! Fast forward to about a while ago while we were still trying to get pregnant and scratching our heads or whatever we were doing. Mavis, said other better half, jokingly suggested that she carry a baby for us. She was only partially joking because she knew how devastated we were over this, and she had her own fair share of tears shed for us. Heartbreak doesn't just happen to one person when it happens. We didn't feel like this was the plan for us as you can probably tell. But that doesn't mean that Mavis stopped thinking about it. In fact, she thought A LOT about it. She decided that if she wasn't able to help us have a baby in this manner that she was going to help someone have a baby. So she signed up to be a surrogate! And now shes pregnant! With TWINS! And I KNEW IT! Hahahahaha!
Obviously a lot has been left out, some of the story is sad and some of the story is private, but overall I think it's a heartwarming, inspiring story, and I'm so happy to be part of it. I know she would love it if you followed along with her through her blog, so check it out. Define:Mavis
Does a little bit of you maybe think that God works in REALLY mysterious ways? Everyone is always trying to interpret what God meant when He said this, or what He wants us to do in regards to that. I don't have the answers to much really but when Ive been praying about something, and its been put heavy on my heart, and then I do it, and it feels like the best feeling EVER - that's how I know its Gods will. Some days I feel like the tornado is chasing me and I'm far from healed, but when I look back on some of the super dark days of the storm, I can't help but feel like God was using me to affect her, to heal someone else's suffering.
