When God Speaks....

He knows what to say.

"Through the Lords' mercies we are not consumed,
because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul,
'Therefore I hope in Him!'
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul who seeks Him."

Lamentations 3: 22-25

"For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made,
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the eart.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance, being yet unformed.
And in You book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them"

Psalm 139:13-16

Honestly, these last couple of days have been hard. I am physically recovered and doing very well and emotionally I am getting there, but some points of the day are harder then others. If I don't hear anything from the doctor today I am in the clear, so maybe after today my healing will be even better. I never thought that you could miss someone you never met. I was wrong, but God is still faithful. He has brought Dan and me closer because of this and my love for Maddison has grown to even stronger levels that I didn't know existed. My heart still hurts yes, but I have hope and I have no idea where I would be without it.

Praise God for His faithfulness and love. He is the giver of all things and He has the strength that we do not.

Well, this was supposed to be a happy announcement, however this past week has changed that. On February 8 Dan & I found out that I was pregnant with baby #2. All was going well and the expected due date was October 16. Last week Saturday (March 5) I started experiencing some spotting, which led to a trip to the ER and two doctors appointments last week. In short, March 11 I lost the baby at about 8 1/2 weeks.

The past week has been rough as we had no answers to our questions until Friday, when we discovered for sure that I was experiencing a miscarriage. It's not an easy thing to go through, but it is what happens on occasion and we have had lots of support from friends and family. The picture to the right is of the flowers that my parents bought Dan & me yesterday after everything happened. I think my mom knows me well!!!
