More Updates

Unfortunately, we will not be welcoming our 4th child in July. Sadly, I miscarried last week. It has been a long hard road and we were very connected to this baby, especially after seeing him (or her) on the ultrasound.

I am, honestly, still struggling with God's purpose in all of this. I don't understand and sometimes the pain is practically unbearable.

I have found some refuge in the following verse:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made unto God
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
Thank you all for your prayers.

  1. I am so sorry that you will not get to hold this baby in this lifetime. I have six "treasures in heaven" waiting for me there. One thought that really helped me deal with the loss of my babies is that each child, though they lived but a short while, has an eternal soul. God had a purpose for each one and because I was willing to conceive, there is yet one more eternal soul around the Throne of Grace, to worship our Lord. I know this is so painful. It is much easier to agree to have the babies than it is to give them back. I just wanted you to know that I care. {{{HUGS}}}

  3. So sorry to read about this, I 've been trough this too.

    My verse that help me trough this was

    "2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (New International Version, ©2010)
    "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. "

    To me this helped me to know that it had a purpose to be able to share who is the source of all our comfort!

    I also cling on 1 peter 5:6-7
    "therefore humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and his due time he will life you up, cast all your anxiety on him because he cares"

    Blessing
    Renee
