There are many aspects of the resurrection story that amaze me, but this weekend there is one in particular I’m meditating on. He’s hanging on the cross, in pain. The Father turns away from His Son, blood running down Christ’s body. Jesus looks over and sees a small group of people who love Him, but... Continue Reading →
In the last blog I brought up a few tough questions, one in particular I have really wrestled with over the last several months. If God is goodAnd justAnd hates sinAnd grieves for our sufferingThen why do we suffer? The devil isn’t having to work super hard to keep my doubts alive these days. I... Continue Reading →
Everyone knows that in most grieving, there is a season of anger. There’s always been one for me. It comes when I begin to wrestle with tough questions about God and life. Why so much suffering? Why doesn’t He stop it, in His sovereignty? How can He listen to my cry without taking action if... Continue Reading →
I never thought I’d be back in the same painful boat. After we finally had a healthy baby, I honestly believed the trial of miscarriages was over. I knew there was a chance I’d miscarry again, but to struggle with it again? No. Just no. Yet, here we are. More babies in heaven. Literally too... Continue Reading →

Like when I run into an old acquaintance who’s been married just a few years and already has more living children than I do… or... Continue Reading →
I really didn’t think this is how our year of “infertility” would end. I hoped and prayed miscarriages were behind us. For good. But as I stared down in shock at that out-of-the-blue positive pregnancy test, my relief at knowing I could still get pregnant was equal to the fear I had deep in my... Continue Reading →
This was in honor of national infant loss awareness day. I know it’s late, but we lost another pregnancy, so it’s been hard for me to write. I wanted to post it anyway. Dear Babies, October 15th, 2022 There really are no words to describe my love for you. Being your mom is one of... Continue Reading →
There are certain decisions in my life that I have made on a whim with little thought. Then there are some decisions I have bathed in prayer for months or even years. Big and scary choices - like trying to conceive again - I just can’t go down those paths without knowing for sure God... Continue Reading →
