For Unto Us....................

This was forwarded to me today by a friend and I thought in light of the news that Justin and I received last night its very fitting.
We went to have our first Ultra Sound last night. The office was a buzz that we were finally pregnant and back after trying for 2 1/2 years.. We were all chit chat and laughing. Then the magic wand was pulled out and we went to take a peek at our little Miracle #2. We saw a great sac with nothing in it. No heart beat, nothing. Just emptiness. The room went quite and cold. Even Karen (our mid wife who was doing the Ultra Sound) went very quite. I then spoke up and said " I know what an empty sac looks like, and I also know that I am far enough along that there should be a heart beat too. I know to much about all this."
She said not to give up that we'll look again next week and hopefully we'll have a heart beat by then.
BUT we know the truth. She figured out where I should be from my blood draws and we should have been able to see a heart beat on Dec 17, and it was Dec 23. So we will wait and see what comes from next week, but I know the truth...
So I thought this quote was fitting. I find comfort in knowing that I have a loving and caring Father in Heaven that will never leave me comfortless and alone. He is there for ALL of us in our time of need or time of peace. Remember that and Thank Him for it.
"For the birth of a child, as ordinary as it is, changes everything. A dear friend of mine recently became a father. He described parenthood, the genesis of parenthood, the moment he looked at his beautiful baby girl and knew he was her dad and that he belonged to her, heart and soul, as something like having a light flipped on inside him that he never knew was there, but that now that it was on he couldn't imagine ever having been without it.
Perhaps that's what God was up to when he chose the way he did to enter our world. God showed up in a most ordinary way, not as a mighty warrior, but as a little baby boy, so that we all might crowd around his manger-crib and look upon him and know that we belong to him, heart and soul. And as we gaze, God flips on the light for us and it's a light that we in the darkness didn't know was there, whose power and magnitude and depth and strength of love we didn't know was possible, and now that it's on, now that it's in us, now that we've seen it, heard it, felt it, we can't imagine ever having been without it.
Into the darkness a light has come: For unto us a child is born. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,Prince of Peace."

What a beautiful entry. You are so filled with grace in spite of facing such difficult times. An inspiration to all. May His peace be upon you, and know that prayers are going up for a miracle next week. Many hugs!

My heart is breaking for you right now. I'm so sorry! I'll be praying for a miracle as well.

Let's hope 2009 is going to be your year to remember for the best reasons!
