I do not know how you feel or understand yo...Sarah,<br />I do not know how you feel or understand your grief and I do not know God's design or plans, but I do believe, that He knows your heart and your grief and He knows that when you pray for each little detail that you are simply afraid. And, that is okay. It is written in the Bible, I believe more often than anything else, "Do not be afraid." But... that is so very hard. If you are still praying for each detail of a healthy pregnancy and baby, well, I don't see any harm in it if it makes you feel more connected to God. I pray very specifically for many things, and yes, especially for my kids. It is what we do as mothers. We worry over every detail and we pray for every detail. God knows your heart and the fact that you go to Him in prayer for your second child, well... that speaks volumes into your heart for the rest of us. Your faith is shining through, even if you don't think so at times. In your grief, your doubts, your fear... your light is shining to those of us who have the honor to catch a glimpse.

I have been praying similar things. My faith and perspective have changed too. How could it not? But hopefully God is working on turning that into something better and stronger than the faith we had before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629289530597971116.post-79062472504812015372013-09-23T21:59:49.479-04:002013-09-23T21:59:49.479-04:00Sweet Sarah,
Please know that God does not punish ...Sweet Sarah,<br />Please know that God does not punish us in any way, even though it may feel that way. You did not do anything "wrong"! I do understand how your brain takes you there. There is some reason why this happened and you may not know what that reason is, but your strength and wisdom are already evident.<br />I, too, pray that you will be blessed with a second child that you can hold in your arms as you hold Emma strongly in your heart.<br />I grieve with you and I hold you and Britt in my prayers daily!<br />KellyKelly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04035796619357240884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629289530597971116.post-20596086263219540682013-09-23T20:28:50.745-04:002013-09-23T20:28:50.745-04:00Oh friend...I am so sorry for all of these fears. ...Oh friend...I am so sorry for all of these fears. You are o to second guess everything. It is so hard to put faith into anything or anyone after you have been through such a tragic event. You and Britt are meant to be parents to a living child and I pray so much that you have that chance. Although Emma was never alive outside of your womb, she is so lucky to have you both. Try...as hard as it is...to stay faithful and hopeful. Love you!!Crissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611754422607865249noreply@blogger.com
