Remembering

We are remembering today. I had to go back and see what I wrote on this day last year. I've been thinking all year how hard it is to believe our miscarriage was really 5 years ago. A few weeks ago I had a weird moment in Walmart as I saw the displays of school supplies. My heart had a very funny feeling because I was thinking how excited I'd be to buy school supplies if our other baby was here and I wondered how excited she'd be about going to kindergarten. Sometimes I wonder about her and what she'd be like.


Today I heard a song on the radio that fits my feelings for today. It's by the group Caedmon's Call. It's called "There is a Reason." I know without a doubt that there was a purpose for us going through the miscarriage, even though it doesn't make sense in our human eyes. I look at our sweet Caleb and give thanks for him and God's timing in giving him to us. It gives me comfort to continue to trust God's plan for us.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me...to comfort all that mourn...to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." Isaiah 61:1, 3

I'm so sorry to learn that you had suffered a miscarriage. I'm sure that, even while knowing that God's plan and His timing are perfect, it's still a loss that is always felt.
Thanks for alerting us that the Chapmans will be on Larry King
tomorrow evening.
God bless you!

Remembering with you. Is it too personal to ask if your little daughter was given a name?

I am sorry that this day brought to you some sad thoughts and memories. It must be difficult to work through them, but maybe a bit easier as time has healed. Maybe. :)

Thank you for honoring her life in this way. I went back and read your remembering post. I was also reminded of your testimony that you wrote out for me to share with some of clients.

I praise God for how He has used this precious little one's life in so many ways.

You are in my prayers today and this month. Take care.
