BECAUSE that's what YOU wanted. God does speak directly to us when we REALLY need it. Ofcourse a LOT if times we *think* we really need to hear directly and personally from God but ofcourse we don't and the contrast of when we TRULY do need it is HUGE. I'm sure God was speaking directly to you. God has spoken to me directly in the past as well. I'm so happy that you have that letter!<br /><br />(I also think God wants you to focus on Isaiah!)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869893984604576139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-22223479673810063722010-01-11T08:15:32.731-05:002010-01-11T08:15:32.731-05:00Truley amazing and touching!Truley amazing and touching!Shannon W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-37425849051239525892010-01-10T14:22:49.633-05:002010-01-10T14:22:49.633-05:00Oh Lori -- I asked God for an email while we were ...Oh Lori -- I asked God for an email while we were waiting and the next day He sent me one -- a Bible verse on waiting.

Shame on me. I didn't connect you to your blog. <br /><br />It's been 10 months for me, and it still feels like it happened yesterday. I can relive those moments in the hospital very easily- mostly at night too. <br /><br />I lost my father, almost a year to the day I lost Ella. Before losing Ella, it was the hardest thing I ever went through. I've been grieving for two years now. Sometimes I wonder if thing will ever start to look up and the people I love will stop dying. <br /><br />The scripture is beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894396436704042272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-82656542518548573422010-01-10T13:32:21.720-05:002010-01-10T13:32:21.720-05:00Wow.

But what matters here is YOUR pain, your heartache, and to know that God cares about you so much. I don't think it was anything but a true God-thing. Like hearing that perfect song on the radio when you just switched to that channel. God knows what He is doing, continue to trust. <br /><br />And, from experience, you will have days for years (I'm on year 8) that will hurt like the day he was born.But you will survive them. Just have a cry and let it be that way for that day.

Trust that this was intended for you at this time in your lives. The signs you have been shown since Matthew's death is proof that God is with you and He clearly wants you to know that. Considering your faith and the countless people that are praying for you, it's no wonder He's showing up in a BIG WAY. <br />Thank you for sharing.Kelli-Riehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541731417144510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-84119524280335593312010-01-09T23:57:37.279-05:002010-01-09T23:57:37.279-05:00I love to hear God speaking to people!

I'm so sorry that you are on this road of suffering and so sorry you have to be part of this sorority of baby lost mama's. I only wish I could take away your pain and the pain of all of us walking this path. The only good comes in the wonderful support from a loving community of women who offer love and support along the way.<br /><br />I do find it amazing at how the "signs" appear out of no where, just when we need them most.<br /><br />Thinking of you today and remembering your sweet Matthew always.<br /><br />Much love and many prayers,<br />Andrea<br />persuitofourfairytale.blogspot.comAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709001842788289402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-82504129740380447862010-01-09T22:40:17.836-05:002010-01-09T22:40:17.836-05:00Like someone else said "WOW".Like someone else said "WOW".Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534585383824685777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-46575919552296280102010-01-09T22:33:15.785-05:002010-01-09T22:33:15.785-05:00there are no words for how heart breaking it was f...there are no words for how heart breaking it was for me to read how fresh your loss and grief are. it is all just so unfair. Matthew was beautiful. I am so very, very sorry, and pray that you will feel moments of strength, especially in these, the toughtest early months. I know how dark a place the early months were for me, and pray that you are spared those depths.<br />Sending prayers for peace in your heart.Once A Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974149780531831971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-23485063653717604942010-01-09T18:03:16.576-05:002010-01-09T18:03:16.576-05:00Smiling :) God speaks thru His Word, and thru othe...Smiling :) God speaks thru His Word, and thru others when we most need to hear it.Hilary Marquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074833890977655054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-23846929984300895672010-01-09T16:28:59.162-05:002010-01-09T16:28:59.162-05:00That letter is amazing!

God must've known it was what you needed - the Bible does say He works in mysterious ways!<br /><br />And the fear of how long it will take to recover emotionally scares me too. At first I did not want to heal, and I fought against it because I felt like if I didn't feel the pain that I was somehow letting her go. But then I realized I need to heal, for me, for my husband, and for Madelyn. I know it's going to be a long journey though. I'm so glad I have people like you, and so many others, to walk this road with me.
