I know it's long overdue...

I haven't blogged in a long long time! We have been so busy with the holidays and now getting back into the routine of things that I haven't sat down to write for awhile.

I ask that your thoughts and prayers be with my brother Nathan and his wife Stacy. They were expecting a baby boy in March, but sadly lost him in the 7th month of pregnancy. Everyone is absolutely heartbroken and wondering why things like this happen. Hopefully God will give us the answer someday. There is a reason for everything even if we don't know what that reason is yet. Stacy delivered David Gabriel VanWassenhove yesterday evening...just before my parents got to the hospital. He weighed 2 lbs 12 oz and was perfect. My parents said that now they truly know what an angel looks like because he is one. They all got to hold him, pray for him, and kiss him goodbye. Please pray that Nate and Stacy will be able to stay strong and keep the faith they have to get them through these times. I have the most amazing brother. Nathan was comforting me over the phone as I was crying; telling me that I was going to be ok and that he was going to be ok. I am amazed at his strength. I know that God never gives us more than we can handle...Nate and Stacy are super strong because I don't know that I could ever do what they are having to do right now.

For Baby David:
Now I lay you down to sleep,
I pray the Lord your soul to keep;
Within his arms he'll hold you tight,
My Heavenly Angel, My Guiding Light.

I love you baby boy! Always in my heart...can't wait to meet you in heaven someday!

To Nate and Stacy:
May there be angels to uplift you, prayers to empower you and love to turn your fears to faith.
