Over the last 4 days I had the privilege to babysit my friends three month old foster baby while she was out of town. I also had the privilege of sitting in the front row seat as I watched my husband get up in the middle of the night to give him his paci at the sound of the first whimper, rock him when he was fussy without hesitation, hold his hand as they both would drift off to sleep...and then snore together as they napped...you could say that my husband was in his element. And it was beautiful to watch. That is until it wasn't beautiful anymore and lil man, as my husband would often call him while they talked to one another, was gone and back home. . Last night, with puffy eyes and a voice shaking, he said that he missed his little buddy and couldn't wait for the day to have his own. And that's when the same prayer I prayed nearly 2 years ago while standing in the same spot poured out of me once again... . "Lord, if not for me...do it for him." . {Link to the blog post "If not for me, do it for him" is in my profile}

Tonight there is a woman hurting. Her heart is aching. And it’s because this Christmas season her womb was supposed to still be filled. Or her arms weren’t supposed to be empty. I want you to know that I am thinking of you. I know you have more questions than answers. I can’t imagine the tears you must shed or the thoughts of “what if” that constantly consume your mind. I can’t imagine the brokenness you might feel or the pain that often takes you by surprise. But what I can tell you is this: It’s okay to feel the way you are right now. It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to feel the hurt and not stuff it down. It’s okay to pound the pillows and double over in a heartfelt cry. It’s okay to grieve the hopes and dreams that were stolen from you by the enemy. . It’s okay to not be okay. . But something tells me you want to feel “okay.” . Therefore my prayer for you tonight is that you experience a calming peace in the midst of your storm. Peace that shuts out your fears and whispers to you hope. Hope that it won’t always be this hard, this overwhelming, or this painful. Hope that there is a plan…a good plan…that will restore your joy. Renew your faith. And cause you to believe in miracles again. . Sweet sister, I know you hurt this Christmas season. But more importantly I know that He knows you hurt too; and the prayer I just prayed for you, I also believe He is summoning His angels to answer.
