Enough

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
- Your Hands JJ Heller

We have been back home now since Saturday night, and things are slowly but surely getting unpacked. This isn't exactly where we thought we'd find ourselves when we arrived home, but it's good to be back. Thank you so much for your prayers, your encouragement, and your kind words in the past week. They have been such a comfort.

I know a lot of you have a lot of questions about what happened. Honestly, we do too. But, in the end, all that really matters is that sweet baby boy we thought would be our son didn't come home with us. I think I have felt every emotion possible in the past week, but right now I am just sad. I miss him, and I wish he was here with us.

I don't understand why this happened, but I know God does. As Mike told our agency last week, we are sad and heartbroken, but we know God is still on His throne. He is still in control. He knows. He is the same God He was when we were holding that adorable baby boy in our arms thinking that we were looking down at our son. And that is enough.

I love you too! I wish you still lived in Frisco so I could hug your neck! (And so that we could go to Swoozie's since they are CLOSING!! Oh my word!) Seriously though, we love you and are praying for you and your family! I wish I lived closer!

Love you and praying for you guys. Thanks for sharing your heart. Love the words to Your Hands by JJ Heller and definitely needed to hear them myself last week.

I am so heartbroken for you... I've been praying for you and Mike. It's comforting as Christians to know it's when we are at our lowest sometimes that God uses us the most. Your sweet testimony is such a reflection of the Godly couple that you two are. You are an example for all of us, and I am honored that God has placed you in our church for this time in your lives.

Circumstances aside, it was fun to spend time with you & Mike on Friday. You will continue to be in my prayers.

It is so hard to lose a child, no matter the circumstances, but there is a tomorrow and God is with us...sometimes it's hard to remember that and how wise and amazing of y'all to recognize that He is still in control...I'm praying that the days get easier...
