Another Child

Life is…Another Child

My most viewed post by far has been about my miscarriage. It is something I think about every day – I don’t know that it’s in an obsessive way, just in a way of, I can’t forget about the baby we almost had.  I wanted to do something to remember and maybe finalize the grieving process – I wanted to sponsor a child, monthly giving, to a child that needs help. I picked a boy that was born on the day that our baby died.

People grieve and remember their miscarried babies in many ways. I pray this is a good way to continue the grieving and healing process.

I Need Baby Jesus!

Life is...I Need Baby Jesus!

Since we started decorating and talking about Jesus being born at Christmas Rachel will not stop saying...
-I need Baby Jesus.
-I want to see Baby Jesus!
-Where is Baby Jesus?
-I can’t sleep without Baby Jesus.
-Here is Baby Jesus!

*She has been carrying around and sleeping with this little nativity. And showing it to all of us, all the time, so much so, that it is kind of annoying. She wants to read books about Baby Jesus, only watch shows about Baby Jesus.

+BUT what if I was a little more like Rachel? What if I couldn’t stop thinking and telling others about Jesus. What if I needed Him more?

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:1-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬  “At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

Life is…New



My very first blog ended with a prayer that God would give me the opportunity to carry another baby and to hold him or her. He has answered my prayer. In October a baby girl will join our family! We are thrilled, but I’ll be honest with you, when I first found out about our miracle I wasn’t excited – I didn’t feel anything. After losing two babies I was too scared to get excited or begin thinking of our family growing. I had it in my head that after we got past the first trimester everything would be okay, I could begin thinking of our future, and get excited. Then one Sunday at church there were two songs about how life comes from God, and I had this wave of realization….1) Anything can happen at any time. Three months isn’t the all okay – three weeks old, two years old – no number is a guarantee. And even more sobering 2) I had not even thanked God for answering my prayer! My mindset changed, and we are ecstatic to meet our little girl!
