Hello!


(A few of the white roses given to me by my dear husband:)


Blog Posts have been quite thin for me for the past two weeks or so. The weather here in the middle of the country has been gorgeous, and you can't help but take advantage of it with long walks, and games of PIG and HORSE with the children!

I have also intentionally made the focus of these past weeks to be one of meditation, healing and prayer for me. After a loss of a little one so early, it is tempting to think that it was "not such a big deal" and jump right back into the busy, busyness that life is.

This past month, I have said no to almost all engagements outside of the home with the exception of visiting Our Lord at Adoration and at Mass. It has been a blessing and one that I am sure the Lord was calling me to do. Even though after a miscarriage you don't have the child to care for, a woman still gave birth, and still deals with the emotional and physical trials that come along with it. However, miscarriage is different than giving birth to a full term healthy child because it carries along with it that unique cross of suffering. I am hoping and praying with God's grace, that this suffering can continue to turn into another conversion that the Lord is calling me to. I want each day to be a conversion to get closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.!

It's so nice that spring is right around the corner!

It sounds like you are having a meaningful Lenten journey. Blessings as you continue to ponder and pray about the loss of your little one. Draw strength in the arms of the Lord.
