Gems for His Own: One Year Ago
http://gemsforhisown.blogspot.com/2013/07/one-year-ago.html
Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. This day, last year, was Cora's due date. This day, last year, she was still alive. I feel a little numb today, honestly, so I don't have much to write. No profound thoughts. This week is just sad for us. No way around it. We can't wait to welcome him home in October. Dear family and friends,. There were those who couldn't be here with us physically, but they ministered to us in gig...

Gems for His Own: October 2012

Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Whistle While You Wait? Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord." Psalm 31:24. Waiting for the Lord. Oh how we hate to wait! Isn't it so true? Likewise, I can sometimes fall into seeing God as the cosmic Santa Claus who gives gifts to good little children and buckets of coal to bad children. "Okay God, I've been good! What's in it for me? My end...

Gems for His Own: August 2012

Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Friday, August 31, 2012. August 15, 2012. Sometimes grief turns its unattractive little head around and points the finger at you. In some ways I feel like I've let my whole family down; as if somehow it's all my fault that Cora died. I know those feelings are nonsense, but like I said before, grief is unpredictable and doesn't always make good sense. What color would her eyes have been? I don't like the id...

Gems for His Own: More of the journey
http://gemsforhisown.blogspot.com/2013/05/more-of-journey.html
Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Monday, May 20, 2013. More of the journey. April 16, 2013. We have made it to eleven weeks. Time moves as slow as sludge when you're pregnant. This first trimester has seemed like an eternity! One more week and I'll be in the second trimester with still a long way to go. We've had two ultrasounds so far, and both times we were able to see the baby's little heartbeat. There is life! Praise God for life!

A Rainbow and My Butterfly: December 2010
http://arainbowandabutterfly.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A Rainbow and My Butterfly. Thursday, December 30, 2010. This sucks and that's the only way I can explain it. With every passing week, I feel relieved and terrified at the same time. I'm 32 weeks now and 35 is quickly approaching, which is when I lost Alexandra. I know this is a different pregnancy, blah, blah, blah. but I cannot help but wonder, do I only have 3 more weeks left to go with this baby? Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Peace of mind.maybe? But how were we to know? Months passed and I never really...

Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Dear Cora, such beauty man has never known. How I miss you! I'm at Grammy and Pop Pop's house in Pennsylvania. You would love it here! I woke up this morning to a heavy spring snow draping the trees, outlining every branch. Exquisite beauty. This is where I grew up, Cora. Everything here makes my heart swell with memories, bitter and sweet.mostly sweet. You were lead home, Cora....

Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Monday, June 23, 2008. This is Texas, aint no other state. Love barbeque. Love boating. Love music. Love Austin. Last night we feasted on oh-so-lovingingly-prepared barbequed brisket at a place called the Salt Lick. What's more, if the name of the place and the food weren't awesome enough, it was indoor/outdoor and there was music! Tonight I will experience the Austin nightlife whic...

Gems for His Own: November 2012
http://gemsforhisown.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Gems for His Own. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12. Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Outwardly, everything is fine. Inwardly, it has been a rough week. I think I have some latent anger simmering under the surface. Bitterness isn't a foe you only have to beat once. I struggle to defeat him every day or at least every week. I wish I could get some good news in 2012. As it is, the new year can't come soon enough. Thursday, November 8, 2012. The Valley of Vision.
