My husband and I have been silently walking a difficult journey. Reading your sentiments made me realize that it's ok to grieve, to process, to hurt and that we need to ultimately "land" on God's truth and move forward in His grace. You were a sweet encouragement to my hurting soul tonight. Thank you! Keep shining brightly for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!Mikaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039057318813227608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-33802307718949116332012-03-06T20:53:30.922-06:002012-03-06T20:53:30.922-06:00I just found your blog and had to say thank you.

I had a miscarriage in December (we have a 1 year old), and everything you wrote I totally agree with. It is SO complicated - being happy for pregnant swollen bellies and forlorn that it's not yours. But all the time God is good, and God is good all the time.

The only thing I can say is something my dad told me when we were going through infertility and he said, "this may never make sense. But, it will not always hurt like this." Your wounds are fresh and open. Be kind to yourself. There is no time limit on grieving. It may take a long, long time. But, I still believe God will bless you in some BIG way that we just don't see. I'm clinging to that hope for you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870727586415760333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-69693154428094685892012-01-30T23:57:41.662-06:002012-01-30T23:57:41.662-06:00So crying over Mema's note and Little Bit'...So crying over Mema's note and Little Bit's conversation with you.

My heart sobs.<br /><br />How is it then that we can still rejoice in who He is and His goodness? Amazing. What blessing to have the Holy Spirit to intercede for us with utterances and groans ... when we are all spent.<br /><br />And somehow ... we can still say "To God be the Glory!" Praise Jesus, my friend.<br /><br />My road is different than yours, naturally, but He has brought victory into my life, as well, through a season of deep trial. I don't relish the struggle yet I rejoice in who He is and what He is doing in my life.<br /><br />Lots of words, my friend, and so insufficient to express my love to you as a dear sister in Christ.<br /><br />Hugs to you.<br />A.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944020026020948429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-44362238348020222912012-01-30T09:11:50.633-06:002012-01-30T09:11:50.633-06:00You are often in my thoughts and prayers.

I lost my baby but thankfully she did not. On the day of her due date i found myself a little anxious on how i would handle everything. I did not want ANYTHING to take away from her joy / our joy of that day. Everything was going great, until i held that sweet little girl in my arms for the first time. I lost it! Many people where in the room and i did my best to hold it back. ( much like bitting my lip as you said ) However, the tears came anyways. <br /><br />It was a sweet and sad time. My sister was wonderful and let me cry while i held her precious baby. She understood with out any words needing to be said. I honestly think there was some healing for me in that hospital room. I think i will always have a different bond with that niece then i do my others ( though I LOVE them all as if they were my own ) .<br /><br />PLEASE know that i do not compare my situation with yours. I lost my baby at 11 weeks. I CAN NOT imagine loosing mine at 17. I just wanted to say that i related to your need to love on a sweet baby and the nameless women who held you and cried. ( again, i can not imagine loosing my newborn baby ) BUT thought i would share my understanding. <br /><br />I have been thinking and praying for you lots these past weeks. <br /><br />lindsay nichollsLinzies Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866140160042409782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-74114605836181504362012-01-27T23:33:56.868-06:002012-01-27T23:33:56.868-06:00I just have to say I love you and I am praying for...I just have to say I love you and I am praying for you.

We can't quite figure out how yet! Also, my twin sister Emily has commented several times and you and Katie have both been so sweet in corresponding with her after her comments. She is waiting and and we are all praying for her a husband! <br /><br />Anyways, I have been reading along on your blog and hers for several years now...they are two of my most favorite. I am so grateful that you each share your faith, your fun, your sadness, and your joy in such and open, honesty and vulnerable way. I am heartbroken for you over your loss and continue to pray for you all the time for peace and comfort. <br /><br />Blessings to you and your family!Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587527530409362417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-63012915323001628652012-01-27T21:17:57.959-06:002012-01-27T21:17:57.959-06:00YOU are so brave.
