Your precious little gifts arrived today. You wouldn't believe how well-loved they have been today!
"Say" by John Mayer came on and you wouldn't believe the chill that ran up my arm as YOU came into my mind. I prayed for you, Lyss. For some reason God has put you on my heart today.
I'm not sure if you've been following the Audrey Caroline blog, but I have been ever since you posted on your blog April 7 to pray for this family. Any ways as you probably know the father of Audrey is Todd Smith from Selah, well him and his wife Angie wrote a song to Audrey and the lyrics are posted on the blog page. They are amazing and I think they might comfort you too. I went ahead and copied them here for you to see, but if you get a chance check out www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com. I hope you have a good day and remember to "be still and know that He is God". I love you sister in Christ and am praying for you always.
I Will Carry You:
There were photographs I wanted to take Things I wanted to show you Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not Truth is I'm barely hanging on But there's a greater story Written long before me Because He loves you like this
So I will carry you While your heart beats here Long beyond the empty cradle Through the coming years I will carry you All my life And I will praise the One whose chosen me To carry you
Such a short time Such a long road All this madness But I know That the silence Has brought me to His voice And He says...
I've shown her photographs of time beginning Walked her through the parted seas Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes Who could love her like this?
I will carry you While your heart beats here Long beyond the empty cradle Through the coming years I will carry you All your life And I will praise the One whose chosen Me To carry you
Separation "Your absence has gone through me Like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its color." -W.S. Merwin
Our Story
We lost our Sydney Grace on November 30th, 2007. She was born still after a severe concealed placental abruption at almost 31 weeks, 2 months shy of her due date. We were never prepared to lose our baby girl and are still painfully working through the grief process slowly. This is my journal. A place for me to work out my feelings, sometimes gracefully..other times, brutally honest. All trying to find purpose in our little girl's life..that her story may honor and glorify her Creator.
"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn their darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will NOT forsake them."

Look for the light...it's there. God says come to me..those who are weary, in pain, do not understand..Go there.
Love as always. I so hurt for you.

Quit striving, and rest.

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this
So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One whose chosen me
To carry you
Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says...
I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?
I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One whose chosen Me
To carry you
