2 months today

I am not sure why a date on a calendar can make your heart ache a little more. Two months today Jason left this earth to meet Jesus. Not much to say today other than I could use your prayers on this 2 month anniversary of J's homegoing. The Lord is present even now, but I feel an overwhelming sense of loss today. Pushing through looking for the joy that will come...

Sweet Stephanie,

10 months ago today I was invited into your life through an email you wrote to me regarding me encouraging the T-18 moms you were following. It was such a sweet and carefree email, reminding me of how life was for you before this year came crashing in around you. I still have a hard time realizing the storm that took your lives over and the greatness of our God carrying you through all happened at the same time. I know God is so good and continues to carry you close to His heart. I know your joy will come but I also know that your heart is broken and hurting so deeply in this loss of sweet Jason.
I pray for you often and ask Him to gently bring you through each day with His peace and love. And I know that He is. I just want to let you know my heart aches for you and I walk this road with you in prayer from here in Ca. I wish so much I could do more for you and the kids. I just pray daily that He lifts you up gently. I love you Stephanie.

Prayers and Hugs, Laurie in Ca.

Stephanie,
I am still praying for you everyday. I have no idea how you must feel, but what an incredible inspiration you have been to me.

It struck me as I read your post on heaven and how you wanted to learn more. I would recommend reading Heaven by Randy Alcorn. It has to be the best book I've ever read on the topic. Everything he says is backed by scripture. Some is his opinion based on scripture, of course. This book totally changed my perspective on heaven.

Stephanie,

"When I think I'm going under, part the waters, Lord. When I feel the waves around me, calm the sea. When I cry for help, Oh hear me, Lord, and hold out Your hand. Touch my life-still the raging storm in me." (Part the Waters).

Praying this for you today.

Stephanie,

My prayers are most definately with you. I understand the "dates on the calendar" thing. I feel the same thing as I face different milestones after our miscarriage. They are just dates on the calendar, but to me, they represent milestones. Allow yourself to grieve these milestones, and then (as you do so well), continue to cast your cares on the only One who can truely comfort you. I pray that as you face each milestone, the Heavenly Father will wrap His loving arms around you and you will feel His complete comfort and peaee!

God bless!
Kara
