The Lord Has Considered Me...
About a month ago, I sat at my daughter's grave and talked aloud to her and to God. I do not know if our dear ones in Heaven can truly hear us, but it brings me comfort to speak aloud to my baby girl. I told her how much I was hurting, how much I miss her, how much I love her. I also asked her if it were within her abilities, and if it was alright with her, could she ask the Lord to send us another baby. Our arms are so empty.
I went on to ask the Lord to consider me. I told Him that I did not know if He believed us to be truly ready for a new baby, but if it was His will, I would gladly accept a new little blessing.
Shortly thereafter, we learned that the Lord had indeed blessed us again! A new little babe to join us at Christmas time! A child to fill our aching arms.
With this blessing comes many emotions and thoughts...too many to put into words here. I am sure as this pregnancy progresses, I will have many things to share with you.
I continue to grieve the loss of my dear sweet baby girl who would have been 10 months old on the 4th. I find myself continually counting heads and knowing there is someone missing. I want her to be here to share in the joy of this new life, but where she is is exactly where the Lord wants her. So I must rejoice in this new life wholeheartedly. This IS His best for me. Though one is "missing" and will always be "missing", there is a future, there is hope. The Lord continues to show this to me over and over again. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Thank you for your faith and hope, I still have very difficult days, it is something we will never get over, but the Lord will give the grace to go through! The scripture is the only source of strength for me, I so look forward each day to truths that will lead me on....

God is faithful! I am so glad for you.
I myself am longing to have another little girl in our house full of boys. medically I can't have any more babies and since we are not citizens I am not sure that we can adopt.
But God knows! He might fill my arms again - he might not. But I hope he does.

Bless you dear! It brings my soul great joy to read your good news. I pray blessings and comfort to you and your family.
Congratulations!!! Having had 6 children and then 6 consecutive m/c in the past three years, I can relate to the grief. I can also relate to the joy and hope that a new life can bring, as we have been blessed with a new little life to be born in July. You have been heavy on my heart and in my prayers these past few months. Beth
