Dear Baby, Oct. 23, 2004 Twenty one weeks old. I've been asking God to give me a word about you. Nothing much happened except for something interesting happening lately. I went to the Ladies breakfast dressed up all cute and pregnant. I was sharing with a women name Paula that the Lord has given us a baby after waiting and praying so long. She is like "Oh Congratulations" gives me a hug and maybe a few more words. She comes back and says "are you sure you are not going to have twins"? I said "no I seen the ultra sound and there was only one". And she goes on convincing me that one could be hiding behind another. Last night we had al night prayer. As we were praying we did not realize it but later found out that Christians in Washington DC were praying and fasting all night too. It was a blessed night. As I was heading to all night prayer... I ask the Lord to give me a word for you. All night my spirit was anxious for Pastor Alfred to get up and pray. I knew he has a word from the Lord or something very important to say. He got up to pray but nothing stood out to me. I heard the Lord tell me to sow him my $100 bill rather then my $10. So I obeyed. The word that I got last night was Pastor David told me to Eat, Eat, your eating for two maybe three. Just a few minutes later Pastor Alfred said to me while I was eating "your going to be really surprised when two comes out".
(in the double wide there was two [2] cribs. One was in plain sight and the other on was standing up in the closet. I thanked the Lord for the twins or two babies)
I remember telling the Lord in prayer. "Father I know that our life is a living example. People are watching us and what you are doing with us. I remember saying I would be honored to have twins even triplets as a double blessing, double honor.
Isa. 61:7 For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in there land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
The Lord shall be glorified in all that we think and do.
"It is all about you Jesus"
Dear Babies, Feb. 20th 2005 Thirteen days before due date. I am axiously waiting for your arrival and experience the Glory of the Lord. I am dialated to one centimeter and labor can come anytime. Dad and I went to Walmart and bought you a big pack-n-play that turns into a bassinet. It is big enough to sleep two babies. I am so blessed to go through this experience. I have never experienced anything like this before. Lord, I refuse to walk in unbelief. You have gave me so much reasons to believe in a miracle. Father I ask that there will be no confusion in this situation. Just joy, peace, and a reward for our faith. Everywhere I go it seems someone is asking me if I am having twins. Lord, I am ready for the baby in the closet to be exposed. I am ready to meet the miracle in my womb. Lord, I worship you, because of who you are. You are worthy of honor and praise.
March 9th 2005 Two day's before babies birth. Last night I was hoping you would come but here I am. The bassinet is empty, my fingers are numb and swollen. Maybe today is your birthday. Today I plan to make some meals to put in the freezer to make it easier on us. Dad is sure excited for you to come. The last couple night he yelled into my belly "Come out, it's time to come out" and he would rub my big belly.
I have two candles on my dresser that I will light when I go into labor. Writing this I am remembering when Dad worked at Home Depot and he brought home two baby kittens that the mother had abandoned and they were going to die. One was orange and one was black and white. Mother insticts immediately kicked in but I am not a cat so I didn't know how to take care of them. I tried. I named one Zoe Lynn which mean Life Giving flowing like a mighty Water Fall.
On my bedroom wall is the scripture: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtian a good report (testimony) Heb. 11:1,2
March 13th 2005 Martina Faith is two days old. Her name means Warlike Faith or Warlike Loyalty. This was not in my diary but you can believe I had a conversation with God when there was only one baby. I said to Him "Lord, I know you meant what you said. Please show me what you mean by this". And that was really all I said. I trusted He was going to show me.
I wish I could tell you what date it was that you Kali and Amanda came down to North Carolina to live with your Dad. It was just shortly after Martina's birth that you came to church with me to a ladies breakfast and recieved Jesus Christ as your savior and was Born Again. A spiritual birth. A new creature. All things became new. It has been a joy to walk this journey with you. I hold you in my heart dearly and pray God's purpose continue to be accomplish in your life.
I think about when Dave was yelling "Come Out, Come out" was his voice in the spirit not only talking to Martina but commanding you girls to come out to North Carolina to live with your dad? Was the two little kitten experience something more then a quincident. How much was really God's word being played out in our journey?! He will continue to reveal.
Girls I wrote this down because I found this diary after a long time of wondering where it was. I found it at the time when I needed it.
prudence, i am viewing this blog for the first time =]. i was wondering why my thingy didn't tell me you had a new blog. i read my e-mail with this blog link, and i figure it's because you posted it a week ago =]. first off, i love you dearly =] and your children are like none i have ever met before; they're both amazing kids and i'm sure baby* ramos will be too =]. this made me cry. not like a little cry, like a BIG cry with tears all down my cheeks =], i don't really know why. You give me a sense of belonging, like i've been here my whole life, and i've known you forever. That's the only whay i can explain it. You're such a cute prego! i love that you wrote to martina before she was born! we've had so many amazing memories in the short time that i've been here. i remember the first time i came to church with you and dave. We were on my way to my dad's so you guys could drop me off, and Dave had been eating martina's goldfish and you were telling him not to =]. he was like 'hun, martina can share." and you were like, "but hun, they're her crackers." hahaha. i loved it. and our 16th birthday party when marco was still a little baby =]. i remember you telling us of the time when that man said "you're going to be really surprised when two comes out!" i like when you tell this, it's quite exciting! i can't believe you have that picture of me when we went strawberry picking. i don't even remember it being taken. i look so funny =]. that was like 2 years ago. I was still in driver's ed! that seems like forever ago! I remember staying at your house with you and martina for 2 nights =]. we stopped at dominos and you ordered a medium pizza with ham, pineapple, and green peppers. then we went to your house and drank diet pepsi and ate pizza =]. And i helped give martina a bath, she was kind of weird about me at first, then she got to know me =]. She was so little. anyway, 2 must be your lucky number =], a symbol of something or other. double portion, like you always say =]. i'm so glad that we met you and dave when we did. I thank God for you and your family, you all are ( & babies will =]) making big differences in the world. We deffinately have to get together and make caramel popcorn again! that was really good =]. and go skating! see you sunday love you!
Wow. This is amazing. I love the picture where you're pregnant standing on the porch. You're such a cute pregnant woman. ;) Anyway, I find it amazingly comforting how you wrote to Martina before she was here. And I love how you write about Dave being so excited for Martina to get here. He yells at your belly. =] Gosh, you guys amaze me. I thank God every day that he brought us together. I know that is was def. part of God's plan that we meet. He put you in our lives because we needed you. You were just what we needed to move on in our lives and start living them the way God wanted us to. I don't know what we would do without you. I know that one day, [hopefully not anytime soon ;)], but one day, Kali and I will need to move out from under you and your mentoring. I am not looking forward to it. But God will prepare us. And although I know that there is no one else like you, probably in this whole entire world, I can only hope that the next person he sends us to can teach us and love us as much as you do. Because you, Prudence Ramos, are one-of-a-kind. I thank God for you everyday. And I just know that you are destined for greatness. You are going to make such a HUGE impact on this world and the people in it; You already do. You have left an ever-lasting impact upon me. You will forever be upon my heart and in my life. I love you more than words can say. And I cannot say it enough, I thank God for you and your family everyday. Love you.
