Chosen By God 1

All who are called by God have a story to tell. Mine begins 15 months before I was born. My mother had her third boy, and the doctor told her if she had another baby it could kill her. He cut, buried, and stitched her tubes, instead of just tying them. (My father really wanted a girl) Can you imagine the surprise when she found out the tube grew back and she was pregnant?  She spent most of the pregnancy in bed or in the hospital, and remained in the hospital for weeks afterward. She came home to an 18 month old, a two 1/2 year old, and a constantly crying newborn. Did I mention I had "intestinal colic" and was constantly in pain? (My oldest brother lived only a few days.)

The first miracle in my life. I was born against all odds.
