Was at the opening night to the Defending the Faith conference tonight and was so happy to sing these words inspired by Job:


You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart will choose to say 

Lord, Blessed be your name


When Jon and I experienced the complete molar pregnancy a year ago or so, it was God taking away the baby we thought we had (which ultimately wasn't a baby but an abnormality that you can read about on wikipedia if you're interested).


And tonight, here we were at Defending the Faith, with an unborn baby this time in our care. God has gifted us abundantly.


Truthfully though, as hard as it was finding out at three months that we didn't have a child and that we had to wait a year before we could even try again, I felt very close to God and to Jon at that time. I could still say Lord, Blessed be your name. And that by itself was an abundant blessing not to be overlooked.
