When all is quiet…

If you’ve known me for any length of time you will notice that things around here have been very quiet. With the exception of my Family Connections blog hop posts, I just haven’t been writing much.

If you know me very well you know that this silence isn’t because there isn’t anything to share.

Actually it is most likely to mean that there is so much to say that I have been in prayer over processing things before sharing with you all. I could chose to just remain silent, but the prompting on my spirit to share these things with you must be answered.

I would love to share that things have gotten quiet and that the storm is finally starting to pass.

But it isn’t.

I have said over and over that the month of October, while our Miranda fought for her life, was the easy part. These months since have been increasingly difficult.

Today Miranda would be nine months old.

Instead of writing updates of the milestones she’s hitting I am contemplating the design of a grave stone.

I still struggle to wrap my mind around that.

Yes, time has gone on and our lives have continued. There is still laughter and smiles in our home and there are also tears and frustration. There is someone missing and that will never go away. Time may dull the newness of the pain but it doesn’t erase it.

Time doesn’t heal, God does.

His healing happens each time I bring my pain to Him. It is a process and a daily challenge.

I can not fill you in on everything that is going on in one post, so there is quite a bit more coming. This post was just to let you know that those updates are coming because it is important for me to share this with you. We are so grateful for the love and support we’ve received in these months and know that you all have great concern for how our family is healing.

Thank you for keeping our family in your sincere prayers.
