“My Savior” by Kristen Clack {Song Giveaway}
"My first-born son, Micah, was born “normal” but at 13-months of age, fell tragically from a second story window. His little heart stopped beating and his dad held him in his arms when he took a final breath. In that moment, time stopped. The deafening echoes of the paramedic sirens couldn’t drown the deep angst in my heart. “Please, someone help him.” I mumbled the words, but numbness overtook me. I was in an inconceivable dream. The hurried paramedic team bustled around me as they attempted cardioversions, intravenous medications, bagged breath...

Lianna’s Story
My doctors told me that they would allow me to go two weeks past my due date while I waited for my daughter to come naturally. On the last possible day prior to my scheduled induction, I went into labor at home—yes, finally! We called the doctor and went to the hospital. The contractions were still mild, but my husband rolled me into the hospital in a wheel chair. We were familiar with the hospital. Since I was past 40 weeks, I had already done three non-stress tests and an extra ultrasound there—in fact, one test was just the previous night. The nurses gave us my ...

Erin’s Story
Suspended
by, Erin Cushman
Hope Mom to Gwendolyn Hope
It’s been over five years since my daughter’s birth and death.
Five years – it is true that time can be an agent of healing. Time can so accustom your heart and mind to a despicable reality that you can say it without blinking, without feeling the weight of your words: “It’s been over five years since my daughter’s birth and death.” And while I am in the habit of telling my story, especially as I explain the ministry that was birthed from it all, I can never meet the eyes of strangers as I ...

12 Days of Christmas {Not Forgotten}
"This week, three and a half years after we said hello and goodbye to Ella, a friend sent me a small package. Inside was a note that said "remembering your precious child with you this holiday season" And there, wrapped in tissue paper, was a small wooden Christmas ornament with Ella's name and birth date burned into it. I wanted to sit down right were I was and just stare at this piece with her name on it. This gift was precious to me for so many reasons. First, there are very few times I will ever get to see Ella's name in print. She won't ...
