In Memory


I have some belly pics and other things to post, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow when I get my 4D ultrasound.

I just wanted to dedicated this one to some friends of ours in Colorado - a young couple named Matt and Tiffany who have I have just heard lost their little daughter in a tragic complication.
Baby Eliana was born on Oct 8th in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Though every effort was made to remove it in time, the staff at the hospital just couldn't revive her.
I ask for prayer for this family in this hard time. They are awesome people, always serving the Lord, and have a great musical ministry together.
This is a section from her obituary:

"Eliana loved to tap-dance on her mama’s bladder, do somersaults while mama tried to sleep, receive kisses from her brother on mama’s belly, and to be rubbed and sung to by her mama and daddy.
Though we long to hold her in our arms and watch her grow, we take comfort that this world is not our home and we will be with Eliana again in heaven."




This tragedy really hits close to home for me, a baby that for all other reasons was completely healthy. I wish I could do more for them, but I know all I can do is pray for peace and comfort.
