the people God puts in our lives.

It's amazing how God brings people into your life to teach you things, show you God's love, and reveal things that you maybe wouldn't have seen on your own. I will tell you that since I've made this blog public, I've gotten so many responses from friends, or acquaintances that are quickly becoming friends, about their similar experiences, or experiences of people close to them. It's sad and scary how common miscarriage is. But it's also amazing to see how God uses even the most unfortunate of circumstances to teach us things, bring us fellowship, and show us his unfailing love. And it's really taught me a lot about my faith and I am really trying to learn to fall under God's grace. I am so quick to be guilty or worried about something, to feel inadequate, or try to reason out why things like this happen to us. And God continually brings things into my life to show me that His grace is perfect, and all we need. His dying on the cross took away any act that I could or couldn't do, did or didn't do, will or won't do that could have made my baby healthy. The work is already done.

2 Timothy 1:7 God did not give us a spirit of fear or timidity, but of power, love, and self control. Thank You Lord for your love, and that you didn't put us here to worry, but you ask us to put our worries and anxieties on you, and that we are to worry about nothing, but pray about everything.
