It was interesting that you mentioned about people you have read about losing loved ones. Our good friend Justin Miller, Jason's best man, has an older sister who was about 36 weeks pregnant and due Feb 15 I think. She lost the baby this last Thursday and was taken in for a C-section right away. It was a little boy and the cord was wrapped around his neck. It would have been their 4th child and they were all so excited. It was such a blow to me to hear about this sweet little baby and the loss their parents were now experiencing. I am so thankful that they know the Lord and that He has been ministering to their spirits and encouraging them. They have such faith in the Lord and through FB they have attested to how the Lord is working in their lives - they have bad days and moments but through it all they have not had to grieve as people who do not know God. We can trust HIS heart even when we can't trace HIS hand.

Matthew 10
chapter 10 - After reading how Jesus spoke to his disciples about what they were soon to face in the world and the job He had for them it reminds me that the Christian life is not all rosy paths and sunshiny days. He reminds the disciples that they should not fear men but fear God. What a promise that if we are walking the path that God has for us he will give us the grace we need, the words to speak and the strength to carry on.

That is so sad- I can't imagine the strength it takes to deal with the loss of a baby. Some might say that "at least they already have 3 other children" but I think it would be just as hard, especially to maintain your composure around your other kids and to show strength in the eyes of your little ones. I am comforted to know that they have an amazing support group and strong beliefs.
