Tonight I have the opportunity(privilege might be stretching it a bit for the sake of the listeners) to speak to a group of medical professionals in our area about genetics. Specifically about Trisomy 18 and more specifically about Johanna. Woot for letting a Mommy talk about her babies.
I must admit that for a variety of reasons I'm a little confused(humbled maybe?) that I would be asked to do this. I am not a physician or a geneticist. Everything that I've learned about genetics, chromosomes, and trisomies I have learned from Google and reading.
But being asked to speak in the capacity that I've been asked to speak will give me an opportunity to tell a secular group of medical professionals about our faith and how God has worked in our lives. I'm excited for that reason alone. A year ago I would have never dreamed that I would be getting the opportunity to share my faith with a room full of people that I don't know at all. And somehow that seems a lot less intimidating than sharing my faith with any one of them one on one. Yes I know it's strange and I have issues.
I'm finishing up the PowerPoint(it's really pretty in pink and gray), deciding on an outfit that looks professional while still being myself and is infused with a lot of pink(that's a must when I talk about my girl). If you think of me lift me up to the Father this evening.
