Remembering

 

Beautiful flowers from mom! 

Adam also sent me gorgeous flowers! 

The card said "Remembering and trusting in His timing." 

I guess it is safe to say that summer is over since I haven't had much time to update our blog. Last week and this week have  been difficult for me. Our due date was set to be August 6th. The reality of our loss was once again real to me. Mom sent Adam and I a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a verse from Matthew "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." Even though the hurt doesn't just go away just because I want it to, the Lord sends his mercies each and everyday. I am reminded of a song that was written about a woman's  miscarriages and there is a part that says, "You'll just have heaven before we do." What more could a parent want for his/her child? To have heaven and never have to experience anything but Jesus. This is my hope and my joy. I guess the part that is most difficult at this point is that we are not pregnant by now. I just assumed that since we were pregnant before it wouldn't take this long. It appears that the Lord has a different plan. So we would appreciate any prayers for us to be content in the waiting and wisdom as we move forward in the process. To remember Adam and I went to dinner at the same restaurant where we celebrated our pregnancy and we are going to attempt to paint a picture to hang in our nursery one day. Once I have the finished product I will post a picture.
