Feed Your Soul: Where Can I Find Rest? {The Godhead & The Father}
In grief, nothing seems to be what it used to be; even something as simple as sitting feels different.
One day, I walked down the staircase in my home to sit in the corner of the basement where I could be physically lowest and most removed from the world that had seemed to go on without me. As I sat, my body had the odd sensation of continually traveling lower. Sitting was more like sinking. I felt that I was being lowered, though I was not moving. As this was happening, I could also feel my heart pounding even though I was attempting to rest. Every strong ...
Calli’s Story
The Blessing of Blair
My husband and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary in May of 2014. We were so happy with where God had led us in our journey as husband and wife. We had welcomed into this world three beautiful and healthy children, Gavyn, Grant, and Gwyneth. We had witnessed each other grow in godliness hand in hand. God led us down a path of adding to our family through the adoption of our daughter, Bertie, from Malawi, Africa, whom we met while serving with our church at an orphan care center in Malawi. Even through the grueling adoption process, we were over ...
Feed Your Soul: God Are You Silent? {Bible}
Have you tasted anything sweet in your soul after loss? Has there been anything since your baby went to heaven that has bolstered you beyond words? Maybe you have had a taste of heaven like never before because you now have a child there. Or maybe you have found a taste of fellowship like never before through connecting with other mothers who have stories of faith through loss. I hope that you have had the opportunity to taste something sweet.
What I hope we can see today is that Scripture is sweetness to our souls. Consider Psalm 119:103: “How sweet are Your ...

Lauren’s Story
I had always wanted to be a mama ever since I could remember. I was the oldest of four kids and I think it’s partly due to how amazing my mom is. My husband Alan and I became pregnant with our first child and we were ecstatic. I had a wonderful pregnancy except for some really strong bouts of morning sickness until 14 weeks.
At 39 weeks it was my last week working at a fast paced job and I had been training my replacement the last two weeks. All seemed ready to welcome our little one into this world. We were waiting to find out the sex until ...

Ashlee’s Story
It was the beginning of my fourteenth week of pregnancy when I went in for a routine ultrasound and prenatal appointment. I had been eagerly looking forward to this day for many weeks. My husband decided last minute to stay home with our boys while I drove off with our three-year-old daughter to finally see this smallest addition to our family.
On our way to the appointment, my daughter squealed, “Mommy! I am so excited to see our baby!” As those words left her little mouth, a giant pit formed in my stomach, and suddenly I felt all sorts of anxious. ...
