My sister's in Christ held a prayer vigil Tuesday and prayed for us. Thankfully, they share the same love of photos as I do and sent me these to share with you.
They laid hands on us and prayed for healing. It was an emotional time for me. I prayed along silently and begged God to heal her. I have never prayed so fervently for one thing before. Believing that He absolutely can, but knowing He might not. It's a difficult, yet good, place to be - surrendering to His will and trusting in His goodness even though I don't want to do this. That's what Jesus did for us.
I could feel Rachel moving around, probably dancing again! She is so beautiful. I am sure she will love heaven... and I look forward to the day when I will dance right along with her. I will probably recognize her by her dance moves! I have fallen in love with her personality already - unpredictable and feisty, yet gentle and graceful. I wish I could make things better for her. Maybe my idea of better really isn't better. I would love to watch her grow up. Heaven seems so far away. But I guess we never really know, do we?
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
