I found this quote on someone else's blog that lost a baby recently. It makes perfect sense to me & brings me great comfort. Tomorrow was my due date with Andon. I'm not sure how I will feel tomorrow and really I don't know how I feel right now, except I know that I'm immensly sad that I have to wait so long to see precious baby, but also hopeful of our future here. I looked at some pictures of Andon today and just longed to hold his fat little fingers (he had my fingers!).
“There is nothing—absolutely no circumstance, no trouble, no testing that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him, and I accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, and I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is. That is the rest of victory.”

Thinking of you and your family today!
You're in my prayers today
I know it'll be a hard day...but on my induction date w/Mason...that night we looked @ his baby book and talked about him and before we went to bed we said a little prayer to him and it made what I thought was going to be a horrible and sad day into a day of ease and comforting knowing he'll never have to experience pain and saddness and one day we'll meet again. You're strong and going through this day will only make you stronger. We'll be thinking about you... :-)
