-Choosing Joy with an aching heart -

It is hard. So hard.
My mom was 20 weeks along with my second little sister. We had been so busy, and the baby wasn't moving like she should be. Me and mom went to the ER and had them listen to her heartbeat.
She didn't  have one.
We cried for hours, in shock.
My little sister, died.
Mom is in the hospital today and I'm praying that things go well.
I am posting this so you will better understand what happened.
        ****
Though circumstances have been so hard, with God's help, I am choosing joy. This morning everything glimmered in the sun light. We still can be thankful.
He has been merciful, to take her early on.  I know it would've been harder the longer it got. The Lord is merciful and still loves us and cares for us.
Thank you all who have been praying for us! You are such a comfort during this time!
I will update when we know more.
After every storm,there is a rainbow.

    2. My pleasure.
      Simply trusting every day, trusting through the stormy way. Even when my faith is small, trusting Jesus that is all.
      Love,

      ps. Is your last name Armstrong? You forgot to add it when you signed up for the Scripture swap. :)

    3. Oh, and you said your favorite Bible verse is Luke 8:50, then you said, "but I'm afraid I won't be able to write them." What did you mean by that?
      Love,

  5. Oh, Paige! My heart aches for you all! I am praying for you... May God give you "peace, perfect peace" during this trial.

    I love you guys so much!

    (Please give your mom a hug for me!)

    "Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
    On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.

    Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
    Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers!"
