Baby Brooks

 




Hebrews 11:1
Now Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

On December 18th, Justine and Anthony traveled to CA and had an embryo transfer.  This means they put a baby in her uterus.  Now we wait to see if her body will accept or reject this tiny living being. 

Psalm 143:8

Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You.  Show me the way I should go for to You I lift up my soul.

 December 30th, Justine and Anthony have a baby due on September 3rd.  Yes, I know that is a long way off and alot can go wrong. Let the shopping begin.   

                                                                     Deuteronomy 7:9

Know therefor that the Lord your God is God.  He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.

January 20, 2021...we have a heart beat!  Let's plan the Baby Shower!

February 19th.  Justine called with the heart breaking news...Baby Brooks didn't survived.  The doctor couldn't find a heart beat.  Justine will have to have a D&C if she doesn't miscarry naturally. I am so sad, but mostly for them.  They have tried so many things for so many years. I would like to comfort her with words of God's Plan and how God will make a way and God's timing, but she doesn't want to hear any of that.  She is angry!  I understand.  I'm a little angry too.  But I know that God does have a plan and it will happen in God's timing.

                                                                        Proverbs 16:9

                            We plan the way we want to live but only God makes us able to live it.

April 15th, Justine and Anthony are in Mexico.  They took a mini-vacation to rest and heal.  They will try again even though they are scared and unsure of what tomorrow may hold.  I will be praying that all will go well and God will answer their prayers for a healthy baby girl in the near future.

So what is with the tattoo in the beginning of this post?  I got it as a remembrance of Brooks, my granddaughter.  I believe that life begins at conception, even though she was only 7 weeks in Justine's body.  She was a baby to me.  The cross is for my Faith.  The heart is for my Love.  And the anchor is for my Hope!  

                                                                    Hebrews 6:19

                                And we have this hope as an anchor firm and secure.
