The Journey

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18
...I miscarried on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010, at 9 weeks 6 days.
"I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." Jeremiah 29:11-13

Everything just "is"

Well, my mom's funeral passed and then my paternal grandmother passed away on July 1, 2010. My family and I went away to Banff, Alberta, Canada for a bit of a break and had a terrific time. We went hiking, on a horseback trail ride, whitewater rafting, cliff-jumping into a mountain river, and we rode a gondola to the summit of Sulpher Mountain. It is good to have some fun distractions...it is good to have something to do.

I would have been 18 weeks pregnant with Hope now...that's about 4.5 months...halfway through a full-term pregnancy. Although it's best to be born at full-term, babies have been known to survive being born before reaching 28 weeks...that would have been only 10 weeks from now. Time is a fickle thing.

When I remain busy with something, I have less time to muse about this disheartening spring. I am hoping and praying that God will be merciful and gracious, and that my husband and I will be blessed with a baby in the near future...but God knows. He already has a plan. I need to trust Him on this.
