pray

My heart is heavy right now, after hearing news yesterday that some friends of ours lost their baby girl.  Full term and stillborn, she was born into Heaven.  The story isn't mine to tell, but will you pray for them?  They are a godly couple who would covet your prayers.

Since yesterday these lyrics from Lincoln Brewster have been in my head:  "Surely this isn't how it should be, Let Your Kingdom come."  Over and over, my heart is repeating this.  This isn't how it should be.  Loss and hurt and pain.  We know that His ways are higher than ours.  We know that our God can be trusted.  We trust Lord, but still we hurt.

Thanks for praying, friends.  I know these prayers are heard.

And while you're praying, my dearest friend Maria, who is expecting in November, is now on strict bedrest due to preterm labor.  Thankfully, her baby boy appears to be healthy and strong.  He has 3 brothers here waiting for him and 3 in Heaven and a Mommy and Daddy anxious to meet him.... just not too soon.  Will you pray for her and their baby, for God's protection and timing?  God holds each of these little ones in His hands.  I know He does.

Until His Kingdom comes,

Jen
