Today I went through my maternity clothes. One by one I took each piece of clothing off the hanger and folded it nicely. I carefully put them in one big pile. I pulled my pants out of the drawer and stacked them up. Can this really be happening? Am I getting rid of my maternity clothes?
Going through my clothes I got to remember Grant and Nathan. We did not get much time together but I have such great memories of my little ones. I can remember when I found out I was pregnant with both of them. The sheer excitement we had was amazing. I also remember the nights Tom would read to us as we got ready for bed. And all of the times I got to see them on the ultrasound. I miss them both more than anything.
Getting rid of my maternity clothes shows we are defeated. I am not ready to be defeated. I have hope that one day we will have a baby. So, instead of donating my clothes I bought a big bin and put all of my clothes in it. It is now stored safely in our basement, where one day I will be able to bring it back out.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:28
Praise God for His faithfulness in giving us our gift!
Praise God!
