He withholds no good thing...

Today has been a disappointing day... After some concern about our baby, we went to the Dr. to find that there was no heartbeat, and while baby should be measuring 10 weeks he/she was only measuring 8 weeks. Our hearts hurt deeply, but in the pain we are believing that God is sufficient, sovereign, and good!

Psalm 84:11-12 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
Dear Sweet Baby,
I'm so glad I got to be your mommy for a few short weeks. I do not understand God's plan, but I do trust it fully. I am confident that your life and the loss of your life will be used by God to magnify Himself and to draw people more deeply in love with the King. I miss you, and I want to hold you in my arms, but I trust that our good God knows far better.
I love you,
Mommy

Angela, I am so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Your faith in the Lord through this all is such an inspiration. I'll be praying for you and your family. Love you.

My heart breaks. I don't know what else to say except that I pray that God's unconditional love flows over you in the days and weeks to come.

Oh, Angela, I don't know why one precious family has to go through so much pain in such a short time! My heart hurts for you all and screams for God to make His name great through you. Blessings and prayers.

Oh Angela...I am heartsick!!! My prayer all afternoon has been, "God PLEASE be glorified in this! Please Lord!" I know that He is glorified in your response, your trust of Him, your continued love towards Him and turning to Him instead of away from Him. He loves you and Justin and I pray and trust that He will care for you tenderly during this time. This is not what we would have chosen for you guys!!! But we choose God's ways over ours, as difficult as that may be. We LOVE you guys and you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers!!
