Ann, thank you for the info on NaPro..I had never heard of it, but was able to look at it briefly last night and will check into it further. I definitely appreciate it!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042100782571641258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510621618501312993.post-47863766233922058792010-02-04T16:04:48.195-05:002010-02-04T16:04:48.195-05:00Angela,

I don't know if this will help you or not but I was wondering if you were familiar with the Creighton Model of NFP and NaPro Technology. Without God leading me to both of these gifts our family would not have our youngest child, Finn because he would not have survived an unassisted pregnancy. I looked up the nearest doctor and teacher near Raleigh and it was: St. Felicity Fertility Care Services in Fayetteville, NC.<br />You may already know about all of this but it was a God send to me when I thought I wouldn't be able to carry another baby to term. And it's all in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church.Ann G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510621618501312993.post-41765516561053006222010-02-04T13:53:44.057-05:002010-02-04T13:53:44.057-05:00Ang, your post was beautiful and I know that what ...Ang, your post was beautiful and I know that what you wrote is what Jesus wants from all of His children. Not to have the desires of our hearts, but for HIM to be our desires. When you said, "His grace has moved my will to accept His love in a new, fresh way. To be completely immersed in His grace leaves me with the strong desire to avoid all sin and to spread His message of love and salvation for all the world" I couldnt help but feel so proud of you, b/c like you said as well, it's our choice to choose how much of HIS love and HIS grace we want-He's never changing, never ending, always faithful, and always the same, so what we want and come after is up to us! <br />You did face the hardest year of your life, but as Paul tells us we will suffer to gain more of Christ and as we all know, that is the most important thing we can do! Desiring more of Jesus than desiring more of what this world offers (and yes, I guess that means our babies!), ultimatley gives you the MOST out of life than any other thing-and a promise of eternity that's far better than this world. Proud of you friend, praying for you, esp. as the 28th approaches...Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195309287519399035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510621618501312993.post-84799008955859430602010-02-04T10:48:50.714-05:002010-02-04T10:48:50.714-05:00Angela,
I came across your comment on Pelianito...Angela,<br />I came across your comment on Pelianito's blog. I immediately felt a connection and was glad to find you had a blog. I, too, have babies in heaven. Hyacinth Benecicta died in utero at around 8 weeks but I didn't know until my 10 week OB check. That was Jan. 2006. I got pregnant that June with Jude Edmund. I got to see my precious boy moving in my womb at 14 weeks. At my 16 week check I found out he too had died. At least with Jude I was able to deliver him and my husband and I could hold his little body. A blessing in this time of sorrow. <br />Even 4 + years later, the telling of my children's short lives hurts and I miss them so.<br />My husband and I do have 5 living children, one who was born after my two saints. <br />Anniversaries are hard but I think God lets are children see how much we love them, especially on these special days.<br />One of the things that I find that gives me comfort is I ask Hyacinth and Jude to be with me as I receive the Eucharist. It is during this time that I know we are as close as if they were living because they are in the Presence of God just as surely as I am when I receive the Eucharist.<br />God bless you and your family. You'll be in my prayers.Ann G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510621618501312993.post-63005899283220792242010-02-03T15:11:30.872-05:002010-02-03T15:11:30.872-05:00Amen to that.

I am accepting that God is sovereign over my life even when it is vey hard.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973041098247957567noreply@blogger.com
