Please pray for my friend

Please keep my friend Jen in your prayers.  They found out today that they lost the baby they were adopting.  I know many of you commented on her shower and this long overdue blessing.  The birth mother has decided to parent.  


Jen posted this on her blog just last week that shows what an amazing person she is...


I want God's will for this child's life and if that does not include us, then I will try to understand. I will still trust Him. I will still seek His direction for where to go next and believe that He will make us parents someday. I pray that to Him every day and with every ounce of my being, I want to mean it. He has led us to this place for a reason and He will be faithful to complete it. I know that He will sustain me in the heartache, but I still don't want it.

Will you please pray for us right now? Pray that God will give us a peace as we wait on this sweet baby to be born that the enemy will not steal our joy. And please pray for our birthmom as she makes this painful decision.


Oh how my heart hurts for her. Please keep her and her husband Rusty in your prayers.  I know how painful losing a child during pregnancy is and I know that her heart breaks from losing this sweet precious baby. Please pray for the birth mom too.. that she is making the right decision for her and this baby.  


This song playing on my blog has so much meaning for me. I have listened to hit through so much hurt and so much disappointment.  I sent it recently to my sweet brother too.  The words are beautiful and such a good reminder..


I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world 
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands


Thank you for loving and praying for my sweet Jen :-)
