I have, not an obsession, but a curiosity I guess with multiples. This drew me to the show Jon and Kate Plus 8. They have twin girls (Cara and Madelyn) and sextuplets (Aaden, Colin, Joel, Hanna, Leah and Alexis). I found their show very interesting and it soon became my favorite show. I just can not get enough of these 8 kids- they are too adorable! I was super excited when I found out Kate was writing a book about how all this happened. My parents got the book for me for my birthday and I just finished it. This book was very interesting. During the show, a few episodes were “dedicated” to explaining how they went from a family of four to a family of 10, but it left out a lot of details. This book starts in the very beginning- with Jon and Kate meeting, and ends with the move into their 3rd house.

At the end of the book Kate puts down 6 (in honor of their 6 life changing blessings) lessons God taught her from the moment she found out she was pregnant with sextuplets.

1. God is in control.
2. God is gracious and strong.
3. God can be trusted.
4. God is love.
5. God will provide.
6. Give God the glory and praise.

I really like all of these 6 things and I know that I do not always keep these in mind. But I believe that as Christians, we should always keep these in mind and be thankful for them. Without God we would be incredibly lost and basically screwed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, it was very good and really opened my eyes to the kind of patience and trust we all need to have with God.
