"Broken I come to you, for I know your arms are open wide."
I am broken! I am stuck! I am disappointed!
And here I sit, not sure where to go from here or how to get unstuck, but right now I'm ok with that, because I have been given freedom in knowing that it is ok for me to broken, to be stuck, to be disappointed. The Lord has met me where I am and He has given me comfort. He continues to speak to me and teach me. I know that my God is with me during this storm and He will never let go of me. The Lord has promised that He will restore me and that I will have peace and joy again, but until that day I will trust God that He will supply everything that I lack during this season in my life. I may be stuck for awhile but I'm choosing to surrender my brokeness, my disappointment and allow the Lord to meet me right where I'm at.
Lamentations 3:33 - For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
I am not angry! I am not confused! I am not looking for answers!
I know my God didn't do this, I know this was not His plan and I don't need a reason why this happened. There may or may not be an answer to why to I miscarried again, but to be honest I don't want or need an answer right now. I know that my God is bigger then any medical answer or percentages or any other reason I have been given. I know that He could have changed the outcome of this pregnancy, but He didn't and for right now all I can do is accept that.
Psalms 34:18 - The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit.
I am grieving! I am processing! I am surviving!
Grief is one of those emotions that affects everyone differently and everyone processes loss differently. I am one of those people that just needs to know that others are praying; that I have a shoulder to cry on when I need one. I am not doubting my faith, I know that my God loves me and I know that I will see my children in heaven, but for right now I am grieving. I have my good days and I have the days that I am just surviving, but whatever day it is my God is with me and He wraps His arms around me and speaks truth to me.
My God says "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" - Hebrews 12:5
I will come out of this and some how, some way God will turn this in to something good, but until then I hold on to the promises and the truths of God. I take His hand and we will take one step at a time.
There is so much truth in what you just shared, Becca. And the fact that you are allowing yourself to grieve and go through the process is healthy and good. I'm sorry for your losses. I'm praying for you.
