Above all, I thank God for the privilege of allowing me to be a Mom (after suffering 3 stillbirths).<\/p>\n<p>It has been a most fulfilling parenthood journey thus far, one which we would not trade for anything in the world, and we look to God for more beautiful memories to come!<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OKdsl8MKOhQ?fs=1\" width=\"459\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\">I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.<\/span><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\">~<\/span><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\"><i>1 Samuel 1:27 from NIV&nbsp;<\/i><\/span><br \/><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\"><i><\/i><\/span><br \/><center><span style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;\"><i><a href=\"http:\/\/makingmum.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/Thankful%20Tuesdays\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"186\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Rainbow.jpg?resize=200%2C186&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"200\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/center><center>&nbsp;<\/center><center><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/signature-mom.jpg?ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Tuesday and I&#8217;m thankful for the relaxing free &amp; easy holiday enjoying the sights &amp; sounds in Taiwan, where we intentionally slowed down our pace, threw our agendas to the wind and simply enjoyed each other&#8217;s company as a family.
