  1. Hi, I too lost a baby, in pregnancy. We were pastors and it was very hard. Never found out why. I was curious if you ever found out why Charlotte went home to heaven. I'm presently getting my licence in midwifery and delivered many babies. But, losing mine, my heart goes out to others who have lost a precious baby. Though we never carried her to term, it was so devastating to our church and our family. I later had a promised baby girl who is now 16.

    I had dream one morning and I saw our baby's face appear with smile, as if to say it will be okay. She looked like my 16 yr old, only about 18 looking. I had prayed to God about her the night before. I had been missing her; then, there she was in my dream, so very beautiful. I cried and cried as I shared it with my family. God is so good in spite of what we go through. I'll be praying for you. God bless your precious family.Please feel free to write back.

    1. We do not know why Charlotte died. After many years I have accepted that it's not something we'll ever know, and that in God's great plan for my life raising Charlotte was not part of it. That doesn't mean I don't miss her, or wish she was here, but I have peace about her death even though we don't know why she died.

      I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that God has provided comfort to your heart as you grieve. And that you have beautiful living child to love on and watch grow.

merry christmas! {giveaway}

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I only have one functioning hand. Thanks to The Blythe Daniel Agency and Blog About Network I have a copy of Bible Basics to give away! This board book primer is NOT just for babies. Bennett and Ainsleigh have asked me to read our copy multiple times since we received it. Bible Basics breaks big concepts down, but leaves enough content for rich discussions. The illustrations are beautiful AND the people depicted are not white! I appreciate the opportunity for my kids to see a more accurate portrayal of Biblical characters. I think Bible Basics is an important book for parents and grandparents to have. To enter to win a copy please leave a comment. (US residents only) That's it! Like I said, keeping it simple. I'll post the winner Friday evening!

Oh, I'm done in. My heart was focused on the 13th and the 15th and now that those days have passed I want to sit on the couch and grieve a while. B is testing my patience like it's his job. I guess maybe it is ... ?? He deliberately gets into things he knows are off limits (he makes sure I am watching him as he gets into them) and when I redirect his attention he only becomes more determined. This evening J was off work late. B was playing in the living room while I pulled dinner from the oven. When I heard a crash I ran, knowing he had knocked over another lamp. I snapped at him because I was scared and frustrated and tired. He laughed. Seriously, he laughed. Mama used her angry voice and still he laughed.  Poor J walked in the door to B strapped in his booster seat and me furiously sweeping and trying not to cry. We're on day six or seven of teething plus a cold. B has a terrible chest cough and is not napping or sleeping well. Feeling ill doesn't slow him d

My heart is full. A little sad too. I didn't have a chance to take pictures with my camera actual so these are all from my phone. If you're on my instagram I apologize for the repeats. We did manage to capture video from today. Once I have the audio J will match everything up and then I'll post it. And if anyone sends me pictures I'll post some of those as well. I'm just glad I made it through without crying or passing out. There were a lot of people there (I'll share a number if I hear one) and public speaking is tough for me. It was nice to have a row of family and friends in the back. Thanks for showing up for my girl. Beautiful sad day. It's always good to speak her name.
