It has been a little bit since
I last posted.
I guess I just
have been trying to think
of the words to
say.
Our sweet little baby
is now in heaven with my
precious Savior.
I was so angry
at first
(it started the day we
went to a christian clinic
and had gotten a 4th
positive pregnancy
test)
but then with some
help of a friend
who had gone through
a simuler thing,
I surrendered it to Jesus.
What else could I do?
I surrendered my baby.
I surrendered that dream.
I surrendered.
And what peace He
has given.
What joy has come.
Do I miss my little one?
Yes.
How is it possible to know
someone is coming for
such a short time
and then when they are not
there to miss them
so incredibly much?
There are still tears.
But though
weeping may endure for
a night
joy truly does come in the
morning.
Now, I can truthfully say
the Lord gives
and the Lord takes away
but BLESSED be
the name of the Lord!
I know He is in control
and I know that
,someday,
Jason and I will
be reunited with our little
one in heaven.
Jesus is just taking care
of him till
we get there.
Why do I refer to the baby
as a boy?
Well, I don't know how,
but from the time we knew
I was pregnant
we both felt so so strongly
that it was a little boy.
So, at the suggestion
of my parents who
had also lost
a little one,
we decided to name him.
Jeshua Justice Hollands
(JJ for short).
Jeshua means
God is my salvation.
He is in heaven.
No tears.
No pain.
No heart break.
God is so good!

I am so sorry. I am praying for you guys.
Prayers for you and your family.
A good family friend of mine experienced this tragedy too-she started a blog about it and how God is helping her through if you would like to read it. It's called "misadventures of mommyhood". Here is the link:

I'm so so sorry, Katie. I don't even know what to say, but you are in my prayers, that the Lord would comfort you during this hard time.
I am so very sorry for your loss. You have been in my thoughts and prayers and I wish I could reach through this little box and give you a hug. We lost our first baby as well. Here is a link to a blog I started if you are interested: http://www.babiesforheaven.blogspot.com/

I'm so sorry for you guys! Praise the Lord that He is faithful in the midst of heartache. If you haven't heard the song "Blessings" by Laura Story, you should listen to it. It's one of my favorites.
I'll be praying for you.
Your Sister in the Lord,

Katy- so sorry for your loss. I know it might not help, but maybe you can look on this time as a little extra time to just enjoy it being the two of you. That won't happen again until all your children are out of the house! And one day you will see JJ- 2 Sam. 12:23- ". . .I will go to him. . ."
Hi sis,
glad to hear you are doing better, that was a sad day when you told me what was going on. JJ will be waiting for his mommy and daddy in heaven.
love you!
