God always knows when I need to stumble across some fresh inspritation- this time, I wasn't even looking for a blog but this it came up via Google whilst I was searching for images to use on the Interactive Whiteboard with my class.
Like us, this lady lost a baby (twin girls actually) at a similar stage to Jubilee. At first they thought it was from an incompetent cervix but then they found out through testing that the premature birth was brought on by infection. Then they tried for another baby and unfortunately, miscarried at 9 weeks. And now they have a lovely little boy. What makes this story twice as special is that the whole time, they have also been dealing with infertility: praise God that we have been blessed abundantely in this area and have had no trouble falling pregnant thus far (we just have troubling keeping pregnant!)
This lovely lady has been where I am walking and she has been providing some much needed encouragement for me as I begin to re-deal with the feelings of loss on so many levels.
I think and wish many things. And I have
accepted that this is my life but it's still a tough path to walk.
YOUR NEEDS AND MY RICHES are a perfect fit. I never meant for you to be self-sufficient. Instead, I designed you to need Me not only for daily bread but also for fulfillment of deep yearnings. I carefully crafted your longings and feelings of incompleteness, to point you to Me. Therefore, do not try to bury or deny these feelings. Beware also of trying to pacify these longings with lesser gods: people, possessions, power.Now I need to do my part and keep drawing closer to God and bringing my desires to him.
Come to Me in all you neediness, with defenses down and with desire to be blessed. As you spend time in My Presence, your deepest longings are fulfilled. Rejoice in your neediness, which enables you to find intimate completion in Me. (Jesus Calling)
