Yet again, I am grieving with my sister's family over the loss of their unborn child. My heart aches, my stomach churns, my nerves are shot. I wish I could sleep peacefully tonight, but my mind will not be silent. So I came back to the computer to listen to my favorite songs. I worship best (I think) when it is through music. One of my favorite songs is Shifting Sands by Caedmon's Call. Another song I have been listening to is below. Casting Crowns, I will praise you in this storm.
Thought I would share.
My mom pointed out earlier today how it is strange how bad things always seem to coincide with celebrations. I didn't know what she meant, so she reminded me that I had my miscarraige the day of April's bridal shower. I had come down from VA to celebrate with her. They found out they were pregnant with Eli around Hannalee's birthday...so that day is also a reminder of Eli for them. And the due date was around the time when we celebrate for Bella's. And now, on Saturday...we will celebrate Bella's 2nd birthday, and they are just loosing a second child. They are still planning on coming down and spending the week and Music Workshop too.
I AM very thankful for the celebrations in the midst of grief, and pray that God uses this week to lift their spirits -even if it's just a little- as they come down and be with family and friends. I pray that God reminds them constantly of the many blessings we do have in our lives, even in this storm...we will praise Him!

love you, looking forward to celebrating Bella's life!
I forgot to tell you in my first comment,last night as I was taking Hannalee to the bathroom, she was asleep and woke up for a second to say, mommy, God can help you in the storm, God will protect you. And she went back to sleep.
