…but we’re not.
Our plans fell through. We aren’t expecting a baby anymore. We are heartbroken and hurting. But we will be okay.
We have felt a peace we never would have thought possible, especially considering the circumstances. We know we aren’t alone. I have felt a lot of emotions the past several days, but despair has not been one of them. We still know, without a doubt, that Heavenly Father has a plan for our family. We know we will find our baby. It may take a little longer, but that’s okay. He or she is definitely worth the wait.
I'm sure you have learned that the plan Heavenly Father has in store for us isn't always the one we had in mind...it's even better.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but I am glad you are so well grounded in the Gospel. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. My heart is with you right now and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. This happened to us twice and it was so heartbreaking. Taking down the nursery and seeing all the stuff that you bought for your baby is hard too. Take a break with your husband and if you need to shut the door to the nursery for awhile.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were chosen for our boy and when we came home with him I finally understood why those failed placements had to happen. When you see your child it makes you anxious that it might not have happened if all the little "pieces" didn't fall into place just right, even when it is hard to understand at first. Stay strong.
(((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteOh Whitney. My heart is breaking. You will be in my prayers tonight and every night. I'm so so sorry. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help--even if you just need to vent. I am here.
ReplyDeleteYou are ever faithful, and I ADMIRE you.
I know I've probably told you this before, but one of my favorite scriptures is in Psalms: "Weeping may endure the night, but joy comes in the morning." Sometimes the "night" lasts for weeks and months, but eventually joy does return. I'm sure there have been and will be tearful nights. I am praying for your "morning" to come soon!!!
I'm so sorry you are going through this right now. I'm a complete stranger but I feel so much for you. I pray for you to find peace and comfort in this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteOh, Whitney! I am so so sorry! My heart hurts for you and I will be praying for you today.
ReplyDeleteoh Whitney... I'm so so so sorry. I'm right there with you on how hard this is. It is amazing though the peace that Heavenly father blesses us with to help us through these times. Keep that amazing positive attitude you have.... you are right, you will be blessed with the baby meant to be in your home and they will be more then worth the wait. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so deeply sorry. you are in our prayers, she is too.
ReplyDeleteHUGS! "Your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord..and are recorded with this seal and testament-the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted..all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good and to my name's glory, saith the Lord.."D&C 98
