Born Into Heaven

Please pray for our friends Alana and Jonathan (I went to college with Alana for one year in 2001-2002).

Here is part of an e-mail I just received from Jonathan:
Our daughter, Olivia Grace Virginia, was born into heaven Sunday evening at 11:41 PM. Alana delivered Olivia via c-section, she weighed 7 pounds, 1 oz, 19 inches long.
My heart is broken all over again for this couple and their 2-year-old twin girls. Brings back so many memories and emotions from the passing of our Alethia Joy almost exactly 2 years ago.
I was really hoping that I would never hear of this happening to anyone else again.

God is still faithful. He is still good, no matter what the circumstances of life. But it's really hard to remember and understand that when these kinds of things happen.

I know they would really appreciate your prayers now and in the weeks and months to come.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18

"heartaches, broken pieces, ruined lives are why You died on Calvary." It's a song that came to mind as my heart aches in a way I cannot possibly comprehend. I will bring this family to prayer. My heart hurts; I can't imagine, but I know you and Tony can.
