A Time To Give Birth…

… A Time to Die

223

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—

A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.

This was my appointed time. Today it has been three weeks since our baby, Azaiah, passed from this earth to the next. It feels more like a lifetime has passed. This is the journey up to today. You can click on any of the links to read the post.

Thank you for walking these painful steps with me. Thank you for holding me up through your prayers. And thank you to God because he gave up his son, voluntarily, to save me and mine.

    Beautiful words and thoughts, thank you for writing and sharing them. I have yet to meet you sister, but know your husband through his sharing of the Gospel, and have been praying for your family. Your praise to God through the pain and loss are a great encouragement. Whether we meet on earth or in heaven, I am so grateful to know you through these writings, and know the Spirit is thriving within you. I will share this with my Aunt, who is dealing with the loss of her 20 year old after a tragic accident, only 2 weeks after she told her mother she knows God will only take her when it is her time. Praise Him for the hope of reuniting us in Heaven.
