God Strengthens

The name Ezekiel means "God Strengthens"

We can see the truth of that in our day to day lives. It has been hard but we are only getting by with God's strength.

I didn't write much in my last post and I hope that didn't concern people. We are doing okay...not good or great or even fine...just okay right now. Some days are better than others and God has been healing our hearts little by little over the past couple of weeks.

We have been comforted so well by our Heavenly Father through His promises in scripture and through His people. Our family and friends have been so wonderful to us over the past 2.5 weeks...literally they have brought us meals (we have only cooked 1 meal since we came home from the hospital), cleaned our house; loved on our girls; sat with us; cried with us; babysat for us; prayed with us and for us; run errands for us; sent us flowers, cards, email and texts. One friend even went head to head with a "not nice" sales lady at the maternity store for me when she didn't want to take something back that I needed to return...that is a true friend. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

So, please know that although we are grieving the loss of our child, we are daily getting strength from our good and merciful God.

For those of you who are praying for us, thank you and please continue to pray for us. Please pray specifically for our health this week. We have all been sick on and off since the 20th of January.
