Well, I'm sad to say that I had the wrong number as my goal and we're actually still $438 off (only because at the same time I was figuring this out, one of you amazing readers donated another $200! Thank you!!) But anyway, I was off... plus Rachel's sign ended up costing $700 and we found out this week that we need to put in a french drain and I'm not even sure how much that costs, I think only a couple hundred. So, we're still off approximately $1400.
I am confident that God is going to provide this. He has yet to fail me where Rachel is concerned and, like I told my playground team today, I think He got the deal out of the trade. Not that I don't love playgrounds or anything...
What a roller coaster this is!
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.
I Have faith that God will provide, and I well keep praying .
ReplyDeleteThank you for this page...Iam still grieving the loss of a daughter back in 1989. I don't remember there ever really being an option to carry her to full term...labor was induced and she was delivered stillborn, in the middle of the night, all alone, I sat on the toilet to pee, never really having been in a steady labor, and out she came, all I seen was blood and her precious little feet, I screamed and the nurses came, made me look away, cut the cord, and took her. I remember asking to see her face just once, the nurse said, "You dont want to see this, honey." I never got to see or hold her or anything. I do not even know where or if she was ever buried. My heart cries so bad, your bravery and pics have helped me feel not so alone. I wish I had even one pic or a grave to visit. But crying and reading your story, is a Heaven sent blessing, I needed a sign that God is there and I think I felt that tonite.
