After losing our daughter, Layah Faith, after she was unexpectedly born at 23.3 weeks, the journey of grief has been a difficult one, but not one without hope. We were blessed to have a healthy baby boy, Luke Jeremiah on 092809. Altough I asked that question many times, “Lord, why did you not spare her as you did our first born son, Tobias?” Why? I let go of that question and simply have accepted that now, I am to use my journey to comfort other mothers to walk this road behind me. It gives me more motivation to keep my eyes on heaven, when I think of our daughter. I sobbed as I heard this message because I know God the Father’s heart was breaking as His son cried out to Him. He has revealed Himself to me in ways I may never have been able to feel without experiencing this tragedy. And if I had to go through Tobi’s terrifying birth and his first 4 1/2 years in and out of the hospital, losing Layah after 6 days, all to get Luke Jeremiah here, healthy and the most content baby I’ve ever been around, I would. I would do it all again. As always, God bless your family Pastor Chris
