This longing, this grief is more than I can bear.
Other times, I am in an exhausting hunt,
a race, a contest, always desiring what I do not have.
God whispers to me again, about the sparrow,
who does not fall to the ground without his care.
And how much more he loves me? And my Ellie.
Contentment with his choice
is the hardest thing I have ever wanted.
Funny how the heart will not be bullied,
and this cannot be pretended.

praying for you, friend.
Beautiful.
"contentment with his choice... this cannot be pretended."
AMEN. I read your blog regularly although I do not know you, and I pray for you. I lost a baby, yet unborn, almost two years ago. And your words are always fitting and echoed in my prayers.
God continue to be with you in your joys & sorrows.
Thank you....those prayers are so much appreciated!
Melissa....thank you for sharing that I am not alone in this pain. Sometimes it just feels that way, doesn't it?
