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.
