One Year of Hope Begins

On Saturday, I read the beginning to the book and this upcoming week I will be reading through Chapter 1. Nancy wrote that you could do the study as you like, and if you need a day off, take it. Well, I hadn't even begun the study, and I felt like I needed the day off, but I am sure that is when I most need to do it. You don't have to have lost a child to be suffering, and I hope that together we will find comfort in the only one who can give it.

This week's passage:
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:18

    I posted a few verses on Sage's blog, just because I needed to remind myself of these things right now. And this is a verse that I included also! Such wonderful, hope-giving words!
    Thank you for doing this. I am really looking forward to going through the book/study. It is something I need at this point in time with the things we are facing with Sage. Thank you! You are allowing God to use you and your life in a awesome way! So glad that I found out about your story from the "MOD lady"! How curiously God works! I am only in Alabama, so I would love to meet you sometime! Maybe a post study get together for people who live in the area????

Magdalena Grace Roberts

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes
