Restoration
We have finally had closure to what has been a difficult and challenging month, that is to say I had a really long, weary and painful night last night. To experience even just a few hours of labor pain without the coming joy is indescribable. The verse that kept running through my mind last night that gave me hope is this: "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5. While I don't think God was angry with me, the image of the sorrowful night and light coming in morning let me know that "this too shall pass..." and I do have so many reasons to be joyful- praise God for my loving and amazing husband who was willing to be up with me at 4 am to share the burden, although I know he felt helpless at times; praise God that my body was able to be restored naturally, without the need for surgery; and so much gratefulness for our two wonderful and healthy daughters- I am so thankful for every snuggle and smile and butterfly kiss that I can get! Isaac and I even shared a laugh through the tears at the very end- thank God for humor in the midst of heartache. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. I know that we are not the only ones to experience this, and there are so many that go through so much more. I only pray that this experience can somehow be used for God's glory. And now, enough with the drama! Love to you all, Amy

Amy and Isaac, love you both. Steve
I know there aren't words, but, well, you are still in my prayers.
Amy and Isaac, words fail me but my soul cries out to our God. I pray that He holds you both extra closely through this tough time. Please know that you are loved, not only by Him, but by me too!
Dear Amy and Isaac. . . . I am so, so sorry for the loss of your "little ones". . . .
"Lord, please bind Amy and Isaac's hurting hearts and hold them to your side."
Love,
Mom
