My baby girl, Lily Grace, would be around 2 weeks old this week. It's so hard to think of what could have been. Our life would look so different had she come. I wish I could hold her tiny hands and kiss her sweet face. But for some reason, I can't. Trusting God is hard sometimes. Pastor Doug shared about God's love on Sunday and I just felt reassured that even when I don't know why or how, God is at work.

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we have faith to believe
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise
Blessings, Laura Story
