Before I fall asleep tonight

Dec 08, 2009 23:51

I'm faced with many things that I could not have foreseen. Never did I ever think that I would bury 2 child in 6 months time. Never did I expect to even have a miscarriage. I never thought I would lose my child, let alone two. Never would I have thought that I could be this strong ( Read more... )

I think Tobias, Grace, and Angel are potentially lovely names. They're certainly better than Darth Vader which is what Sammy said you should name a baby earlier tonight.

Silly anecdotes aside, *huggles tightly* I wish I lived closer to you. I don't know what more I would do aside from giving you a hug and telling you how much I love you but still. Text is so impersonal in times like these.

There's a section in the book called "Desperate Passion: Devotions to inspire a fresh hunger for God" by Adam Bourque called 'Embracing Your Cross' that has become a favorite of mine. It speaks of the suffering Jesus endured and what the phrase 'taking up your cross' truly means. It also says that God is revealed in our suffering and that He will always be there with us in it. The strength and grace you've shown through all of this is a clear testament to just how true that is. You definitely serve as an excellent example of how I should bear my own crosses.

I love you!

I think bearing one's crosses, with God' help of course, is part of forming who we are and without them there could never truly be depth to our souls. If we walk with them knowing there is purpose and good things will come from our walk, then the walk does not seem as difficult. If we go grudgingly, bitterly, unwillingly then the walk seems 10 times harder from the first step. But no matter how we look at it, we have to keep walking along that path.

I am deeply sorry for your loss I can't even imagine. And it is in such grace of how positive you are handling your loss. I was praying that it would have worked out different god gives us these challenges in life to make us stronger and I feel to teach others. God has always helped me through the hard times the times you just feel like giving up at the darkest moments and you pray to keep you in the light to give you the strength to keep on living.
God Bless and Amen you were and still a dear friend to me.

Though you may be far younger than I chronologically, I stand in awe of the grace and faith God has given you ... you are and will be an inspiration to others...

Right now though, I know that you hurt and that you must grieve - and my prayer for you is healing and comfort, and that you will lean on your faith in God and on those who love you.

As always, here for you anytime, and praying for you constantly.

I know you're praying and I appreciate that about you so much- you have no idea.

I wish I knew more to say.
*hugs*
I am so sorry. I am amazed how you take everything and not give up. I can't say I am as strong as you.
I am here whenever you need to talk or vent our your frustrations.
my prayers are with you and your family.

That is the thing about life- is will keep going on. I'm lucky that I have Andrew and Luke because they force me to go on.

Sarah, I am not sure what to say but I want you to know I am thinking of you and I feel so sad that you have to go through this, again.
