Lessons Learned: My Journey through Pregnancy, Miscarriage, and Preterm Labor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692302811)

My name is Misty Marr. I am first and foremost a Christian. I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior as a young child, in Georgia where I grew up. At the age of thirteen, my family moved to Mexico, where we served as missionaries. During my years in Mexico, I lived in a large city, a small town, and a remote Mexican village. I enjoyed getting to know the diversity of the country, and I had opportunity to work with children in each of the different places we lived. When I was nineteen Nathan moved to Mexico to work with my dad. A few years later, we were married. I am blessed to be married to my best friend! We continued serving in Mexico together for several more years, and our two oldest children were born there. We eventually moved to Nathan's hometown in Colorado and later settled in Phoenix, where Nathan is a bi-vocational pastor. I now have seven children, ages ten and under, with number eight on the way. I am grateful that God has blessed us so greatly. I am a chronic Lyme Disease survivor, though I still fight the disease with daily treatments. I have conquered the worst of it and am no longer an invalid, for which I praise God. I stay busy trying to keep up with daily life, and I thank God for a happy home in spite of physical challenges. Life is not always easy, but God is always good! Most of this book was written while nursing a little one in the early morning or late evening, while the other children were asleep. Publishing a book has been one of my lifelong dreams, and I am excited to see the fulfillment of that dream. I am already planning my second book about my journey through Lyme Disease.
