A week ago today it was confirmed that we would never hold our twins in our
arms…one was already gone and the other hadn’t grown any since the last
ultrasound, three weeks before.
I never dreamed that we’d be wearing these shoes—shoes that were one minute
full of joy and anticipation at the thought of having twins running around the
house and the next minute full of sadness and emptiness--but we are…and it is
not just a bad dream that we’ll soon wake up from.
The facts of Who God is has been an incredible source of comfort. I have to
keep reminding myself of these things when the smile threatens to crumble under a wave of
tears. People around us showing that they care and are praying
for us is also a huge encouragement. The Psalms of Ascent or Degrees (Psalm
120-134) have been encouraging and a reminder of where our help comes from and I
appreciate Courtney Reissig's testimony on finding her strength in the
Lord. And I know that the facts of God's Word do not change, even when the pain is still there and the struggle of emotions and what I know to
be true continues...
