Happy Birthday

Today would have been our little ones first birthday. I don't want to ignore it. I want to celebrate. Even though I only carried her for a few days, her short life impacted mine greatly.  I learned that I really can trust God and what that looks like. I saw how each life no matter how old it is matters. I was able to see a sweet tender side of my savior. My heart has changed from only just a few short days knowing her. I'm not happy I miscarried, but I'm thankful that my God is big enough to redeem even death.

Thank you Jesus for this day. While my heart aches her first birthday isn't here with us, I rejoice for the privilege of  carrying your child. I can have joy that her birthdays will be filled with everlasting joy and not the pain and disappointment of this world. Thank you for the blessing of pregnancy. Thank you for my 3 beautiful children. Amen
