Last week, Tony and I were doing pretty good.. keeping busy and enjoying time with friends and family, etc.
The last couple days have been much more difficult; reality seems to be setting in.
Today, Tony started back on a regular work schedule and this will be a busy week for him with both classes and work. I'm still taking some more time off of work, and the quietness of the house seems to make reality set in even more.
I continue to think about how I "should" be on maternity leave right now--staying very busy, waking up in the middle of the night to feed our precious baby girl, spending the days holding and cuddling her, and looking forward to the evenings when Tony would come hold and spend time with his sweet baby girl.
But we are clinging to the promises of God right now...it's the only way to find strength, peace, and hope in these dark and difficult days.
Yesterday at church we sang one of my favorite songs, "Great is Thy Faithfulness."
The words have been stuck in my head for the last 24 hours, particularly this verse:
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

"Morning by morning new mercies I see all I had needed Thy hand hath provided, Great is They faithfulness Lord unto me."
Praying for you
I'm so thankful you guys have such an amazing faith in Him, and I'm sure it will only grow stronger through all of this. You are still in our thoughts and prayers daily. Keep busy.
This song has been a blessing to us too. Continue to cling to Him through this all, He truly is faithful and will carry you through. Love you!
my sweet friend...
I'm glad you're able to blog and keep everyone updated on how you're doing. I think it's good.
I'm praying you feel His tender mercies today and that you can lean on Him for support and comfort. I'm so thankful that He is faithful, and even though the road is difficult, He will NEVER leave us alone.
you are loved...
I continue to pray for you. The testimony of your faithfulness to God through the loss of your precious baby rings strong. Let the tears flow -- let God heal you -- let others hear you testify that in the midst of darkness, God is your Light!
i love the words of that song...i can remember how it sounded being sung at Downing and Bethany. i think about you and pray for you every day. every day.
