(Four babies/pregnancies in less than 4 years.) My physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health all took a huge hit because of all the demands I couldn't meet and a body worn out from back-to-back pregnancies. It was about 3 years before I started to occasionally see more than 4 hours of sleep a night. Our marriage took a huge hit and we're just now starting to climb out of the valley we've been in. But we've learned it's a really good place to be because that's where God does his most beautiful work in us.<br /><br />I came to love Isaiah 42:16 "And I will lead the blind in a way they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do and I do not forsake them." This enabled me to become more content with not understanding how it could be a good thing that my intense circumstances were causing me to miserably fail at all the things I have always desired to give my all to... being a good wife and mother, serving in my church, spending time in the word, having a home that was operating well.... <br /><br />Anyway... this is YOUR blog!!
