Oh, Mel–I can so appreciate your grief. A good friend from church recently told us about her daughter who lost a baby to miscarriage at 12 weeks (it would have been the first grandchild and they were all so excited). The same week, one of her daughter’s co-workers had an abortion (also at about 12 weeks) and then came back to work and talked about how simple the procedure was. They are heartbroken. It is so hard to understand where God is at times like this, but I love that you are trying to walk with Him despite all your questions.

I think you said that well…because I’m not sure the broken is ever completely gone either. Maybe that’s what makes us lean a little harder into Him? And definitely long for that day when there won’t be any more heartache or tears. So thankful for you, sweet friend. Thanks for being here.

Thank you, my friend, for that and for the giant hug, too! And for the prayers and encouragement you always give. You’ve been on my heart lately…sending a giant hug right back!

Thank you. You are such a gift, my sweet friend. I keep thinking back to that couch chat we had at Allume and wishing we could go back for a few more hours. (Or days!) You were such a blessing to me that night…God knew I needed a friend like you. And I’m so thankful. (((hugs)))

Haha…I knew someone would have something to say about that! (And for the record, I totally agree about the covering your bum part.) 😉 Thanks for being here…I’m so grateful for the virtual hugs and prayers and love. So blessed to call you my friend. (((hugs)))

I’m trying to give myself permission for that quiet…but it’s hard in this great big bloggy world, isn’t it? Thank you for being here and for your sweet encouragement, my friend. You are a blessing.

I asked someone a question. ” When does that broken feeling go away?” And she didn’t have an answer. Upon much reflection I’ve come to conclusion maybe the ‘broken’ isn’t supposed to go away but leave me longing for the wholeness of Heaven. There is much I wish I could repair that isn’t in my power to repair. And being all right with that and sitting in it, admitting it is darn hard. It sounds so clique to say ‘God will use your brokenness to minister to others…” because right now it feels like shattered…but I have to trust that it, too, will be redeemed. Hoping you can find peace in the season of quiet. That He will continue to comfort your heart.
