Sweet times...Lord continue to teach me
Days around our house have gotten sweeter these days. I am still not sure what God's purpose is in us losing our baby, but I know that there have been a few changes in me. I am enjoying some extra special time with my girls. Things like reading books, curling hair, coloring etc have taken on a whole new light for me. I am finding that I am spending more time doing with them rather than shooing them while I complete a task. I'm not sure how this is all occurring, but I am still keeping on task with my everyday chores etc., but I am just loving my time with the girls.
God is keeping me strong about the loss of the baby too. I am having to answer occasional questions and listen to occasional cries from Stephanie and Katie about the baby's death(none of which are brought up by myself or Chris). My girls have always just seemed to have impecable memories. I guess that God is using this to help us teach Stephanie and Katie that we don't always know why things happen and things aren't always as happy as we want them to be, but we still have to trust God. That is a hard lesson for a mature adult, much less a 5 and 3 year old(of course they only can comprehend so much of it).
Anyway, I just thought that I would share a little of what God is doing in us as a family. We are still waiting to see what God has in store for us. We know that no matter what it is it will be great. Because we serve a GREAT, GREAT God.

(((Hugs))). What you wrote is very wise and while we won't know the answers here on earth, we know that God does have a plan. You will learn so much from those 2 sweet girls of yours and I'm so glad to hear you are cherishing each day with them. Losing a child definitely changes your perspective and you do learn to appreciate your blessings on a deeper level. Hang in there girl, and if you ever need to talk, please call me!
I just happened upon your blog and I wanted to come and tell you I am sorry for your loss but that God will definitely hold you through it. We lost two between our second and third boys and the heartache is unimaginable. I do believe, though, that God has a plan. If we hadn't lost the ones we did, we wouldn't have the beautiful little boy we have now. HE did that for a reason. I sincerely hope you can come to see His reason for you in the future.
I will be praying for you all.
Still thinking of you, Chris and the girls. Sounds as if great things have come from this sad happening. Isn't that so like God? Just think of how wonderful it will be with this new perspective when you do get pregnant again. Love you all so much! Kristie : )
