Miscarriage Comforts

This is the second miscarriage that we have gone through. The first happened just less than 2 months after Erika and I were married. After the miscarriage was a multitude of other problems which ended up spiraling almost out of control, until The Lord in His infinite mercy said "that's enough" and gave us a reprieve. For either of us, it was the worst thing to ever happen and being newlyweds, we were devastated. However, just when we knew we couldn't go further, God's Comforter came down and met with us, dried up our tears and gave us the grace and strength to go on for Him.

This second one was full of grace from the beginning. We had peace and comfort moment by moment. We cried and prayed, prayed and cried, but always knew God knew all about it. We want to testify of just how God truly is good.

The following verses have been of a great help.

Psalm 139:16
“Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;”
Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee”
Psalm 139:16
"Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect"
2 Samuel 12:23
“…I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”

God formed our baby and allowed us 2 weeks with him. We didn't know him but we loved him, and look forward to meeting him in Heaven. We are so glad God gave us those 2 weeks and we have no regrets.

Thank you to all of you that have prayed for us.

Baby News #2

Mournfully, we had a miscarriage last night, September 15th. Erika had just a bit of spotting at 4:30, but then within an hour she had severe cramping and then bleeding.  We rushed to the ER and after a cervical exam proved her cervix to already be open about 5 hours later, they went ahead and pulled the baby out, already gone on to Glory.  They performed an ultrasound afterwards to make sure there wasn't something else in the uterus, gave us the "good" test results, and then sent us on our way.

We are rejoicing in God's goodness to us and are proud to be under His control.  His grace is sufficient.

Please pray for a couple things.

#1, that Erika would heal 100% (including physically, emotionally, spiritually).
#2, that God would continue to work through this and our family for His glory
#3, that we would have the necessary funds to cover the emergency room visit

We will be traveling up to Ohio as we continue on deputation when Erika feels up to it.  We will be with family there as we have meetings in and around the area as well, praise The Lord.
