Why me?

I met another sister in Christ tonight trying to get pregnant again. After a long battle with infertility, God blessed her and her husband with a little boy in August 2005. They long to increase their family again, but know the road could be long. Another name added to the sisters I pray for almost daily. How I long for them each to be protected from the heartache and pitfalls I experienced.

As I drove home pondering our conversation and admiring the clear night sky, I found myself asking God why He chose to bless us as He did. Funny, I used to ask the "why me?" question when I wondered if we would ever have a family. Now, I am so humbled that He has doubly blessed us with these two amazing children...and our road was no where near the struggle others have walked. How dare I ever complain about sleepless nights or toddler attitudes. Shame on me. The only words that came to mind were:

Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable, You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
