Tomorrow begins a new year. This past year has been quite interesting – full of tears (of joy and sorrow), laughter, school, LifeIssues, and all sorts of fun things. I made some friends, lost some, and (I think) became somewhat more of who God wants me to be.

Today we remember her privilege by God, and reflect on her virtues of humility, prayerfulness, willingness to do God’s will, just to name of few. Greg and [...]
I figured I would link some of the miscarriage/pregnancy loss resources that I’ve come across since we lost Elisabeth. Some I’ve used, some I’ve not but included in this list anyways:
SHARE Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Facts about Miscarriage Miscarriage Support, Auckland New Zealand Understanding Miscarriage (Mayo Clinic) Remembering Our Babies Born Angels [...]
I was tagged for a meme by Athanasius contra mundum! The jist is that I say 8 random things about me, and then tag 8 random bloggers, who then do the meme. FUN!
