My Earnest Plea
Our Story
.jpg)
My husband, Mark, and I have been married for six years. Our hearts have yearned for children of our own to love and nurture, and raise up for God's glory.
The Lord has blessed us four times with life in my womb, but in His sovereign wisdom He took our first three little ones from us before we could know them. We lost our first baby in January 2006, and our two little sons in August 2007 and August 2008. And then in His mercy, He gave us our fourth child, who is still growing and thriving in the womb, and expected in November 2009.
We know that the Lord is good in all that He does, and that He is infinitely wise, loving, and merciful. We know that He has a purpose in bringing pain into our lives, and it is our heart's earnest desire to draw closer to Him through our trials, and to bring Him glory as we die to ourselves and live more fully in Him.

Although we are now looking forward to the birth of our first child, we will never forget those years of pain and sorrow, in losing three little ones and waiting for the blessing of children. The Lord taught us so much during that time, and has been so very near to us through it all.
It is a burden on my heart to come alongside of and minister to other sisters in Christ who walk this path of sorrow and pain. Please leave me a comment or drop me a line so I can pray for you.
To God be the glory.

That is such wonderful news, Beka. I am so happy for you all.
How wonderful - a new little niece or nephew! :) Praying for you both!
How exciting to get to share a pregnancy with your dear sister! You must both be bursting... and will soon know a whole new meaning to that word! PRAISE GOD!!!
With love,
Rebeca
Oh my goodness Beka... blessings abound! I know I've never even met you, but after months of hearing you praise Him in the valley, how sweet it is to praise Him from the hilltop! Enjoy. :)
The fullness of joy! Sisters. Knitting souls together, together.
All my love, Mark and Beka.
Thinking of and praying for you... always. Hope all is well, and you are resting and soaring and quieting and joying! :)
Love you.
Thinking of you, sweet Beka...
