14 November 2012 - Strange Sounds

Sounds I never thought I would hear...

- Rina telling me Baby Brother or Judah is in Heaven with Mom-mom.

- My midwife telling me how to get rid of my precious supply of milk intended to feed my son, who I'll never feed.

- The sound of table saws and banging as my best friend builds the casket that will hold the tiny form of his son in it.

- Consent from me as we tell our funeral home they have our permission to pick up our baby boy's little body from the hospital morgue.
- My voice asking God to hold my Judah tight for me as I cannot for now and for a while to come.
- Me telling Joel that I now have a much clearer understanding of what Philip? meant and felt when he wrote, "It is Well with my Soul" after losing his children in a shipwreck.

And yes, "though Satan should buffet, though trials should come. Let this blessed assurance control! That Christ had regarded my HELPLESS estate and has shed His own blood for MY soul." Please keep praying as you never know...it could be YOUR prayer at that specific time that God uses to get us through that moment.
