Well I never thought that something bad would ever happen on Friday the 13th. Yes it is probably just a coincidence but still, it is a very sad day... My brother Matt told us about 2 weeks ago that him and his girlfriend were going to have a baby. Honestly, I had mixed emotions about it, but overall I was happy for him and excited to be an aunt. Today we found out that they lost the baby. The pregnancy from the beginning was risky as she was Eptopic, but you always hope that the baby is healthy and will be born. I know that God has a plan and in this time of grief we must find Joy and peace in this terrible situation...
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
"'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
On my way to worship practice yesterday I had to stop and take a picture of the sky. It reminded me of how big God is and how little we are. I couldn't help but worship Him in that moment.
Lord, thank you. I hope and pray that Matt can cling to You in this time of need for affection, encouragement and comfort.
