I believe
I've noticed I've gotten off track I wanted to start from the beginning and work my way up to the 'end' even though I realize that this is not the end, just the beginning. I think back, and I can find so many reasons to praise god. number one, he blessed me with a beautiful healthy child, one with no extra needs, or health conditions. so many people have children that have to deal with those things on a daily basis and I just praise God we didn't have to go through that. God knows what we can handle, yes I've been dealt a pretty large hand in my 22 years, but that is something I don't think I could have handled. I also got to experience several of 'the firsts', which is what I will get to hold on to forever. Her first time to hold her head up, first time to roll tummy to back and back to tummy. The first time she rode in her stroller like a big girl. Our first shopping trips. The first time she said 'da da'. even when she said 'ma ma'. Her first 2 teeth! Thanksgiving, Christmas. The list goes on and on... so many mommies miss out on those things, so he has reminded me of these things to be thankful for. My morgan will live with me forever. It seemed like yesterday was a easier day. almost scared to say that out loud, but it was. maybe because I spent the morning with my 'nanny' which has to be one of the most inspiring and uplifting people I know. I've always looked up to her because of her optimisim and her strong walk with the lord. It was like she didn't even give a second to get down on myself. I know between that and the prayers, it allowed me to have a good (yes I said good) day! Satan tries to steal my happiness and says..'You had a good day? How could a mother that just lost her baby TRAGiCALLY have a GOOD day?" Its because of Gods amazing love, and my friends that love and pray for me continuously. I'm sure there are people out there that voice their opinion about me especially the ones that are 'lost' in this world, and I'm sure they could blab off something stupid like I could have prevented this...I now really see this was God's plan. There are no accidents in the sight of the Lord. I pray I never run across a person that thinks differently... I also wanted to thank everyone for the encouragement, and for those keeping up with my blog. Also, to the ones that check on me daily and pray for us daily...by the grace of god and all of you guys will be the only way I can continue on with this life I need to live. I thank you for that. .

ReplyDeleteSo glad it was a good day! Even when satan tries to throw something at you, just recall the blessings and focus on those. God is greater, and you are His child and He is protecting you!
ReplyDeleteOh what a blessing Morgan is in your life. Even though she is in Heaven now, she will always be here in your heart and in your memories! I am so glad you have those "firsts" to remember!
You are a blessing to those who are following your blog, and those that know you and how strong you are proving to be. To God be the glory!
Praying for another good day!!
Love you much!
You dont' know me, but I just came across your blog the other day and I wanted to express how sorry I am for your loss. Your little Morgan is a beautiful baby (I say "is" because she is very much alive in heaven right now!) She is delighting in the love of our saviour and getting to enjoy total peace, beauty, and uspeakable joy at seeing Jesus face to face!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you today. I don't know if this will be a help to you or not, but Kellie at http://kandjstaats.blogspot.com/ is going through the same thing right now with the recent loss of their baby girl, Maddie. I thought it might be encouraging to know that you're not the only ones walking this path.
May God give you "beauty instead of ashes,the oil of joy instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." Isaiah 61:3
As usual, stopping by to say I'm praying for you. You deserve good days and happiness, the Lord is blessing you and you deserve to be able to think of your beautiful baby and be happy. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
