WOW!! What a week...and amazing, fabulous, joy-filled week!! I feel so blessed to call me family...my family! I have the most amazing husband and the most beautiful girls. My heart fills with both joy and tears every night when my two girls say their prayers...their prayers which include their angel sister Leah. Every night they pray for Leah and send their kisses to heaven! I am so grateful for their love for their sister...and their faith in our Lord which gives them the knowledge that our Leah Faith is dancing with Jesus in heaven!! AND...my fabulous hubby just gets hotter and more fabulous by the day!! Yesterday he granted me the greatest gift of all...the gift of a day in the "City" with 3 of my fabulous girlfriends...at the "O-You" seminar put on by Oprah's magazine "O". We got to see Nate Berkus and Stacey London...two people I love!! THe grand finale was a visit from Oprah!! The day was absolutely amazing!! And it re-fueled my spirit...my soul...my energy!! Oprah spoke about the need for us to embrace our paths...our journies... THat is so difficult...yet so necessary for optimal healing! I pray that the Lord can enable me to embrace my path...embrace my journey...embrace my road...embrace my pain...embrace my sorrow...embrace my healing!!!!
Ella and Caroline are absolutely amazing!! THey are growing by the minute...changing by the second...and filling every second of our lives with LOVE!!
On March 18, 2008 my life changed forever. A routine visit to my OB would no longer be routine. A routine recline on the table, a routine measurment, a routine listen with the doppler....my life was no longer routine. On March 18, 2008 it was discovered that my baby no longer had a heart beat. As I layed in a hospital bed for two days awaiting the arrival of my sleeping angel, my husband and I made a decision...a pivitol decision. We decided to live our lives with FAITH....the Faith that we get from reading Romans 8:28...for we know that in ALL things God works for the good.... On March 20, 2008 our sweet angel, our third daughter Leah FAITH was born sleeping. Her life and birth have been a source of heartache, love, faith, hope, and peace. Through Leah and our faith an awesome Lord Jesus, we are learning to live again, to love again, to have faith, hope, and joy in our lives. This blog is dedicated to our lives after stillbirth, to the whispers of faith that we so often overlook.....
