For The Mothers...
I had the honor of sharing in church on Mother's Day. Publicly acknowledging other "Loss Moms" on this emotional day is something I take great delight in doing. This is what I shared.

About this Episode
I had the honor and privilege of sharing an exhortation for mom's at my church yesterday. Mother's Day is a day of great joy, but also great sadness. I have lost children. I know the pain. I know many others who have also lost children, and many more who long for children. I hear you. God hears your cries. He is near to you.

My Heart Is In Ukraine
Two of my heroes growing up were Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton. When this war first started in Ukraine I immediately wanted to sign up to join Samaritan's Purse Disaster Relief Team and be a nurse in Ukraine. After seriously talking about it together my husband supported me applying with them. I spent the next few days praying seriously about it because that is a big decision, always, but also when you have 3 young children still traumatized by the personal deaths we experienced last year.
After three days of prayer God filled me with peace about the decision I made and has shown me how I can support the people of Ukraine.

Processing Promise's Birthday With Our Kids
We celebrated Promise's birth day yesterday as a family. We don't have all the answers on how to process the death of a younger sibling with kids but how we chose to do it with our family turned out to be really special.
Thank you to everyone who has and is standing behind us and with us loving us as we remember both Promise and Emmanuel.
