Isaiah Twenty Eight: December 2007

About Me

Location: High Desert SW

I'm Vickie, 51, married since 1985. We have a grown son, born in 1986, and aside from two early miscarriages, were barren thereafter. That is until 2003, when we were miraculously expecting a baby girl. The pregnancy was wonderful & we were very excited to be so blessed. Sadly & preventably, Abigail died in utero the week of her due date thanks to a practice of outlandishly horrid medical providers masquerading as knowledgeable professionals. Consequently, I delivered her lifeless body on December 6, 2003 after 3 days of sorrowed labor. She may have been born still, but she was still born & is still loved. Long story short, we were blessed 16 months later with a 3rd miracle child. Anne came into the world on April 28, 2005 after yet another wonderful pregnancy. Sadly, it was discovered after her birth that she had a heart defect caused by trisomy 18. She died suddenly of congestive heart failure, just before midnight on June 28, 2005. Anne was 61derful days old when she left her mama's arms & went to rest in the Lord's. She was a wonderful sparkly child, who along with her siblings, are the subject of most of my writings, interests & hobbies.

Rejoicing in the Father of Lights

Goodness! Have I really not been here since June? I suppose the move, the reorganization, health problems, etc have all done their best to keep me from the computer. I need to work on some more lessons. I did get my Experiencing God workbook out, so that's some progress. I look forward to a long cozy winter whereby I can devote more of myself to my studies. I should call my devotions Lessons From My Broken Knees: a comparative study between knee failure and fervent prayer.

Anyway, so much has transpired between June and mid-December that there's not enough time to write about it all at once. I'll just say that the move really altered much of my life. Putting it all back together in an organized fashion has been challenging, yet productive. I'm looking forward to winter and the growth that will take place throughout the hybernation period.
