In previous posts, I mentioned the Masche Family, prior to going out to visit them a few weeks ago, and then reflecting a little on my time out there. But I wanted to blog a little bit on what a huge blessing they have been in my life. There are many ways prior to ever meeting the family, during my time in Arizona, and since being back, that I see bits and pieces of God’s goodness. These guys are super special and have a pretty intense challenge with their six two year olds, but yet have time to love on others. I am very thankful that I am able to connect with Jenny and her family.
Initially, someone had given me an article Jenny had written and I was able to contact her through email. This was back in February, and she immediately emailed me and was giving me wisdom and encouragement from the start. Jenny and I emailed several times before I went in the hospital, and she was really the only person I ever talked to that I closely related to during pregnancy. It was very good to hear how things were for her being pregnant with sextuplets, and all of her experiences.
Then, we talked for the first time over the phone about 2 weeks after returning home from the hospital. It was good for me; she is a Physician’s Assistant so she knew a lot of the medical things, she had experienced a lot of the similiar meds I had, she knew the risks, she had a near death experience after delivery of going into heart failure that gave her a different outlook on surviving and being able to mother her six babies, and our hearts are in the same place, she loves the Lord. As we talked on the phone before I went out to Arizona, I always felt comfortable to open up and be transparent about how I was dealing with stuff.
One thing that has meant the world to me is Jenny shares straight from her heart, hurts with me, but yet in all of it, pushes me by just assuring me of what is to come, almost helping me see more of what’s ahead, when the past and “here and now” seems ultra heavy!! Thanks Jenny! It is also very encouraging to see Jenny’s passion to love on others, especially her family, I look up to that a lot! My time out in Arizona also was such a great picture of Jesus. It was wonderful to meet the whole family and get to bond with the kids, I especially loved our chats and getting to really know these guys on a deeper level. Jenny and Bryan blessed my heart in many ways…to give me encouragement, love, and much more! Each one of the kids is so special, what a gift! Thank you for your friendship, and so thankful God has put you guys in our lives.
