Miracle



According to Dictionary.com the following are definitions 1 and 2 for a MIRACLE.

1-an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.
2-such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of
God.



In simpliest terms, these definitions explain exactly what you are about
to see........





You've just set your eyes on the very first picture of Baby Berry! An amazing combination of both John and I that is growing and forming in my womb! It's an amazing miracle!

Some of you may know the journey that we have been on for the la
st SIX years! O what a journey! It's amazing to consider all that God has taught us through this amazing journey. It has been one of the most difficult situations I have ever encountered, but one of the most growing situations. I've learned so much about myself, John & mostly God and his faithfulness.

In November we were told that we had a 22% chance of getting pregnant and conceiving on our own. I came home about as down as I could be. In the journal that I keep, written to our future MSC (Many Small Children), I wrote the most sincere prayer I could possibly write asking God to take my 22% & make it a 100% by the power that I know he has! 3 months later I took a test and was overwhelmed by what appeared!

So here we are.....8 weeks in and SO EXCITED WE CAN HARDLY STAND IT & God receives all the glory for the JOY that overflows in our heart!

John and Pepper, we're SO HAPPY for the two of you! What an incredible gift God has blessed you with. I love and appreciate how you give Him all the glory in this miracle. Mark and I know how excited you are since we, too, are expecting our own little bundle of joy. I'm 14 weeks pregnant myself, so not far ahead of you.
