This past week I found out that a friend of mine from support group delivered her baby girl at 25 weeks. The baby was a 1 lb and 3 oz. Baby and family have been spending a lot of time in the hospital. Baby girl needs to gain twice her weight in order to have heart surgery that will save her life. Otherwise, it is evident that medications and machines are keeping her heart going.
I constantly have my friend and her baby on my mind. It irks me to think that my friend who has already lost a baby has to go through this right now. How is this fair? Is this the plan that God had in mind for my friend? I just don't get it. I keep hearing the comment that "everything happens for a reason" or "God only gives us as much as we can handle." Well, why give us anything at all? Why is He making it so difficult for some of us? And others can have perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies with no trouble? It doesn't seem right.... If anyone has answers to these questions, please comment. I'm looking for as many answers that can give me more hope than I currently have.
Please pray for my friend. I will continue to post updates as they are available.

I'm so sorry about your friend. And you're right, it's not fair. I constantly ask those same questions... Why do we have to go through any of this? I don't know if we ever find out the "whys" but we just have to believe that God has our best interest at heart and He is in control. I take comfort in that cuz I know I cannot do this by myself!
I wanted to stop by your blog and say thank you for coming to mine and leaving such a precious comment. It made me cry cuz it touched my heart so much. Anytime I hear that I have made even the slightest different for someone, it means SO MUCH to me. Thank you for letting me know that you got some encouragement from my post. It helps me so much in this journey. It gives me purpose in this storm. :) Love to you!!!!
i wonder about the same things constantly.
