Psalm 59
16 But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.
Those of you that read the blog a good bit, may get tired of me saying this, but most days when I get up, I am immediately thinking and praying that God would continue to be my Strength, and that I would trust and have faith in that constantly. I really was looking at these verses and realizing that in these times when my heart is heavy and hurting, that I will praise our God. His love is steadfast…unchanging…perfect…He is my refuge…He has got me in His hand. Thank you Lord.
Today, I got out a basket of things that have kind of been tucked away in the closet with baby stuff. I really started putting cards, pictures, and anything that was special to me during being pregnant, in the hospital, and the weeks after in the basket knowing it was all in one place and when ready I could go through some of it. I had bought a book to start putting a lot of those things in, and started gluing some of them in there today. Everyone that came to the memorial service wrote a little note which I read in the hospital, but really hadn’t read them since, so it was good to go through them. I am so so thankful for our loving family and friends around us! Thank you guys for all of your prayers. It is also so encouraging to look back through cards from folks who have gone through similar things that we are able to relate to. I have really been putting off doing this, and it is tough but good…I am not sure what all I am thinking right now, at least not enough to write down…I will share more later!
I have been praying for you. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
you have been such a sweet spirit to my soul. Your courage and strength have been so amazing. I’m so proud of you for sharing your thoughts. I truly beleive you are healing as you share. I continue to pray and ask others to do as well.
Love you

I am sooooo proud of you . You are a shining light of God’s love and compassion for people who are hurting. All of your blog needs to be published in a book to share with others who are hurting because you are telling such an amazing story of your faith in God and what a difference it makes in your despair. You are helping me in my grieving and I should be helping you. I love you tooooo much and toooooo much Eah
