I know she has been so kind and loving to you and Chris. Oh, my heart just breaks for her. I will be praying. And I'll pray for you what I wish I remembered to pray for myself - that He will show you His great love for you in a way that is understandable ... especially when He seems so terribly un-understandable so often. I'll pray that for you, you pray that for me, and remember, you are not alone ... just beautifully honest ... and an encouragement to those like me stumbling along the path of His hard, but loving Providence. I'll call you later today if I am not struggling too much myself. Pick up if you want to. <br /><br />Thankful that His love for me is not dependent on my love for Him, but on Christ alone .... we are free dear friend, truly free. May He use us to remind each other of that glorious, though often seemingly hidden truth.<br /><br />Love you, Chris and the tiniest one.L Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000216828175212433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979592677810270039.post-32398295245783623302009-12-03T01:04:35.361-05:002009-12-03T01:04:35.361-05:00Ebe,
I have said the same exact things you have. ...Ebe,<br />I have said the same exact things you have. About a month ago, I felt I was just wrestling and fighting with God... My dad told me that is fine... but you won't win. Yah, I know Dad... But Ebe, He knows your heart, worries, fears, desires, He knows it all. It is ok to verbalize it all to him. But I am praying too that you will hold onto HOPE. Don't let it go Ebe, that is the faith that we share... trusting in things unseen. His will, will be done, but we must continue to HOPE, tell him our desires and allow HIM to work. He loves you EBE, no matter if it feels like it or not. HE does, he loves you with a fierce love of a father... so much more so than you and Chris even love Owen. I know that is hard to imagine and believe with all He has allowed on your path, but He does. And He is going to use you in mighty ways my friend. Know that I am praying for you right now... Praying for Satan to leave you alone... Praying for the Lord to send you peace amidst the trial right now. Praying for you and that precious little one you are growing. Sending hugs ebe!<br /><br />Clinging to HOPE with you,<br />SaraSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679265370655421932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979592677810270039.post-44804845046195218702009-12-03T00:11:03.827-05:002009-12-03T00:11:03.827-05:00Oh precious friend,
I understand this place.
The...Oh precious friend,<br /><br />I understand this place.<br /><br />There are few words... I am in prayer.<br /><br />Hope.<br /><br />There is always hope. <br /><br />"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." ~Proverbs 13:12<br /><br />Praying for that longing to be quenched and for peace in the waiting... "for that day when all will be made right."<br /><br />And it will... rest assured, it will.Keisha Valentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686765519807013196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979592677810270039.post-73596244197687305482009-12-02T21:09:22.890-05:002009-12-02T21:09:22.890-05:00Gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't get here to re...Gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't get here to read this earlier.

I'm am praying for K and her family. I...Ebe...<br /><br />I'm am praying for K and her family. I'm sure this is totally devastating.<br /><br />I'm also praying for you! I haven't walked your road, but we share the same worries, pleadings and prayers. I felt weary of pleading for a baby, now that I'm pregnant I feel weary of pleading for his safe arrival. EVERYONE keeps telling me how small I am for 20 weeks with this look of or horror at my belly. Which leads me into this long spill about how sick I was, that I'm seeing a perinatologist b/c we had twins and he's fine, etc., I even thought my stomach looked smaller today than the day before and worried if everything was okay. My friend Tracy, who lost her sweet Adam stillborn, told me 'pregnancy and motherhood is like an open wound'...and IT IS!!! Especially with the loss you guys have known!! Like I wrote in my post a week or so ago, God knows we have these doubts and concerns about Him, about His plans...none of that is a surprise to Him. So, why not own how you actually feel? Writing out and expressing what He already knows is healthy and frankly the honest thing to do. It totally sucks to feel so worried all the time! It really is a moment by moment thing for me. My thoughts can in a split second lead to loss of this baby -- even though everything is perfectly fine, he kicks like a soccer champ, and moves around like a synchronized swimmer. I can't imagine having experienced your loss. But do know that you ARE NOT alone in the weary of worry and weariness of seeing loss! I really do mean it when I tell you that I think of you often and pray for you when the Lord brings you to mind.sjeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133400986095459890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979592677810270039.post-24195989869791025242009-12-02T20:51:47.865-05:002009-12-02T20:51:47.865-05:00Praying...for K and her family as well as you.

If you totally understood God, wouldn't that make you God? Sounds heretical, but I hope I made my point. Praying that you are able to have hope for the future and for this baby. Praying also for K and her family.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343969561417373936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979592677810270039.post-51874003912649409712009-12-02T13:39:58.081-05:002009-12-02T13:39:58.081-05:00one thing about God that i've found to be true...one thing about God that i've found to be true is that He is good. i'm not typing that to sound trite, though i know it does. <br />The day that i realized that the grief is temporary - but the gift of my wee ones is eternal - was a huge turning point for me. It was like what Jesus said to Peter? about having in mind the things of men rather than the things of God... we can be so short sighted. <br />Anxiety is not cool - neither is grief & anger & hurt & turmoil. i feel for you today in the midst of the storm & you're right - He's big enough to carry you & your hurt - & he's full of enough tender mercy to save each one of your tears.paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879573441359515525noreply@blogger.com
