I had originally had something else I was going to blog about next, but something has been weighing on my heart pretty heavy,and so, my plans changed.
About a week ago, I read the Texarkana Gazette article here regarding Steven, Michelle & Brady who recently found out they were not only expanding their family, but expanding it by FIVE more. You guys guessed it! She is carrying FIVE tiny babies!!!! My Husband & I went to school with these two and they are pretty awesome people! Michelle actually taught our son. We had known about the pregnancy for a while, but this article just weighed on my heart. As a mother of two myself (and NOT twins), I experienced the up's & down's of a normal single pregnancy, and the financial burden of caring for them after they arrived. I cannot even fathom what Michelle is going through, physically, emotionally...nor what her family might be feeling! Through all of these bumps and turns, It is an absolute complete blessing from God, and I have no doubt that God laid this so thick on my heart because we all know it takes a village to raise a child, and for FIVE (well six, including sweet Brady) it must take the whole State of Texas and at least South Arkansas, correct? :)
Our little community is pretty much the best ever, and always comes together in times like this. This sweet family already has so much much love and support from their families & friends. My husband and I still wanted to help, so I kept asking myself “What Can we do to Help?" the answer we got from ourselves “Spread the Word,” So I contacted Michelle and got her permission, and now I am reaching out to you all (my dear friends and readers) in hopes that you will help me spread the word of this deserving family through your blog, social media, word of mouth, prayer list's....That is what I ask for this family the most..PRAYERS. Continuing ones. For the uncomfortable bedrest, for the time in the hospital, for the times they are away from Brady, for Michelle's safety &health, the babies safety &health, Steven's Strength, the whole family, the hospital staff, the delivery, the sleepless nights...the happy moments, the memories! ETC! SO many things to pray for.
If you could please take a moment to visit Michelle's blog page here you’ll see pictures of little Brady, Michelle & Steven and can read Michelle's updates on her health as well as the new babies. You’ll see why their story deserves to be shared.
