21 weeks

It's Thursday, so I do turn another week, "21". but I don't really feel like posting or talking about my appointment when someone I hold so dearly is grieving today. For those of you who don't know, my baby sister, miscarried. She went in for her 11 week appointment and was surprised with exciting news, she TOO was carrying twins. Then the devastating news hit that they couldn't find either heartbeat. I can barely write this without tears in my eyes. Maybe it's hormones, but more likely it's watching someone you love hurt. Everyone handles trials in different ways, and I thank the Lord that my sister trusts in God's will and His sovereignty. She has gone through such a tough time but has come through the fire refined like gold. This is not to say it's still tough, but her thinking is biblical, and she has such a godly response to the situation. It's hard for me to be excited for my own situation knowing that I will be a constant reminder of her 2 babies that are now under God's perfect care in heaven. I count it a blessing and a privilege to have been pregnant with her and BOTH CARRYING TWINS! What an amazing bond I feel to her because of the odd chances that sisters would be pregnant, at the the same time with twins! I pray God gives me grace in how I speak and write during such a sensitive time. I admire her in so many ways and am blessed to be called her sister! Please keep her and her husband in your prayers. B... if you are reading this, I love you with all my heart!

We said a prayer for the 2 of you in my bible study this morning. We'll keep you all in our prayers and be thinking of you.
