just in case you were wondering...
"A popular myth is that lightning cannot strike the same place twice, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Lightning does, can and will strike the same exact place more than once. It doesn't have a memory, and if an object has been struck once,
it is no less likely to be struck a second time. How about the Empire State Building in New York city which gets struck by lightning about 25 times each year. Even Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning 7 times!"
(from weatherimagery.com)Well, Roy, I am going to give you a run for it! When asked about having more children I have been known to say "lightning doesn't strike the same place twice." I had to go with that mentality for my own sanity. I didn't want my mind to "go there" and then feel that disappointment when years go by and it's not happening. I've been there. I've done that. Didn't like the view. I have three beautiful children and I felt so blessed to have Sara as a special gift to our family and I almost felt selfish when it came to the thought of having more children. I guess what I have learned is that our Heavenly Father
never "runs out" of miracles for us and for those that we love. I have also gained an even stronger testimony that the Lord's will is much
more powerful than anything that science can prove. (even when you are told that you will "never" be able to conceive a child on your own)
HE is the creator of
ALL and it is in
HIS control. So if you haven't caught on yet...our
next little bundle of energy is due at end of April.
OMG!!! Congratulations! Are you feeling OK?
