A week after her birth we were transported to my local hospital so we could be close to home. That same day I met my sister, who had been taking care of our son, in the emergency room. She has having a miscarriage and nothing could stop this little life from slipping away. I was there to hold onto her, and call for help. I was there curled up on her bed as she cried uncontrollably. I was also running back to my own infant to nurse her and cuddle her. She was perfect and beautiful and a joy in the midst of such grief. My emotions were so torn up, I felt guilty for being joyful, yet she was my reality. Life is not fair, not explainable, but happening simultaneously.

I’ve heard the same thing over and over from the “church” and find myself repeating it because “it’s what we are supposed to say.” Thank you for writing this! This puts my feelings in a different light…the light of worship! Love this, "I was created to worship....what I worship is my choice, I can choose to worship the created things that fill my world, or I can choose to worship the Creator of those things and of my very soul.” Yes! It’s a choice! We have so many choices after all, don’t we? Thank you for sharing this from your heart…and your feelings. You are right. on. track. as far as I’m concerned. ;) I’ll be back for more of your encouragement here!
