Prelude to Braden's birth story

I will be posting Braden's birth story int 8 parts.  Then I will post Zekey's story.  I want to share this because not only did I go through things that I know many other women struggle with, but I also want to show a progression of faith that God had and has things under control, trusting Him to provide and to be strong for Sam and I in all of our weaknesses and the growth He caused in us by refining us in the fire of adversity.   After I have posted the entirety of both stories, I will put up a post about an area of our lives that we were not giving over completely to God's control.  All of these posts combined are the story of what God is doing in our hearts and how we have come to this point.  Hope you enjoy...
