TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted,
A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up,
A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance… Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 (Amplified)
Hello friends and Coffee Girls! I can’t believe Friday is here again.
I have to announce that I am no longer pregnant. It has been a rough week with a lot of emotional ups and downs, but like everything in life, it is a new season and a new time.
Name an emotion and I’ve probably experienced it (or soon will). Sadness. Anger. Disappointment. Confusion. Relief. Exhaustion. Joy.
There are many moments already crystallized in my mind, and I at least have one ultrasound scan to keep as a memory.
My mother in law has been a tremendous help this week – keeping the girls almost all day every day while I’ve been resting or recovering. And Roy, while riding this emotional roller coaster with me, is off today so we can all have time together. For that I am very grateful.
The one thing I’ve already been able to grab onto during this time, is that no matter what happens in my life or how I feel – God never changes. He is still Holy, He is still Lovely and He is still GOOD.
He can take my fists beating on His chest in anger because He is strong.
He can brave the storm of my accusing questions and bewildered confusion because He is Peace.
He can hold me while I cry my eyes out because He is steadfast and faithful.
He can comfort me while I mourn, because He knows the Plans He has for me.
And this is just one season in life. One moment in time. And regardless of my feelings or my circumstances – He is God. While I wander through a million emotions, He is walking right next to me and His Spirit is speaking to my heart, even as the evil one launches fiery darts at my faith.
I will mourn and I will question. And I also know that a season will come when I will laugh and when I will dance.
God is good. All the time.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I had a miscarriage in 2006 and still remember well the emotions of the time.
I pray that you will feel the presence of the One who knows about such loss and can handle every emotion you throw at Him.
Blessings to you.
I am so sorry to hear abt what happened…..I’ve experienced it myself …it’s a very difficult road. My thots and prayers are with you and your husband.
i am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know my prayers and heart are with you in this time! I rejoice with you in the Sovereignty of our Lord and I pray that you will, every moment, feel his loving arms around you, holding you tight. Sending my prayers and thoughts your way…
Deb – My heart broke when I read the news. I’m so sorry! I know how much you love being a mommy! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Give Roy and the girls a big hug…which, in turn, gives you a hug back!
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this with your readers. You have so ministered to me today. While I am going through a different storm my emotions seem quite the same. It was so good to be reminded of who my God is and what He can do for me if I just open up to Him. May the Lord bless you and keep you today. May He shine His light on you and may you continue to feel His love. Blessings, Hope
I am so sorry.
You sounds like you are doing okay. So glad that you have help.
I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Debbie, you reflect the beauty of the Lord. I didn’t even know you were expecting.
But your praise for Him and recognition of who He is radiates beauty and glorifies Him. I love that.
God bless you and I will continue to pray for that peace that surpasses all understanding.
That’s what got me through when I suffered my loss. ((hugs))
I am so terribly sorry. Praying speedy healing of your body and heart.
Praying for you.
I am so SO sorry for the loss of your precious baby. I’m glad you are resting in knowing that this season will pass, and your little one will not be forgotten.
Oh, Debi, I am so sorry! I know you and your family were excited about the new little one, and it’s so hard to understand the “why’s and how’s” this could happen. My heart aches for you.
Your words are beautiful and touching…yes, He will hold you and He is big enough to carry you through this time. May He comfort you and give you peace and hope….you will see your baby one day and understand His purposes.
Much love, Rachel Anne
I am so terribly sorry for your loss! I have never experienced the pain you are feeling and can not even begin to imagine what you are going through, but I am lifting you and your family up in my prayers. We do have a God who is bigger than all our pain and while I don’t always understand Him I KNOW that He is good ALL THE TIME! God bless you!
…and this one made me cry…I am so sorry! There are no words. Consider yourself hugged and know you and your family are being prayed for! You are a blessing! Your faith in Him is an encouragement to us all! He is definitely good all the time!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words I can possibly say right now that would be of any comfort, but do know that I am praying for you and God is faithful.
