Well as most of you probably know I am no longer pregnant. It is sad yes, but God has really been helping me through it. I feel like I am handling this very well, and its all because of Jesus Christ and the wonderful family and church family and friends that I have been blessed to be surrounded by. I have realized that I just need to stay focused on the positive side of things like: I know I can get pregnant, I can go on the missions trip, i can keep the job that I love for longer and i am going to be by myself when i am pregnant or at least there most likely wont be as many friends pregnant at the same time as me and i can get all the hand me downs that the others who are before don’t want to hold onto! I have found that by focusing on those things i am not as upset as some people have told me they were when they lost a child. I know that God has wonderful children planned for Paul and my life and hopefully I will be able to write that I am pregnant again by the end of the year. For now I will keep my mind on the positive and pray for God to bless us with another child that is healthy. I’m praying for a little girl!!!!
Dawn, just reading this has been such an encouragement to me. Seeing how you’re trusting God through all of this and able to have strength is incredible. You’re awesome
It did my heart good to read this today. You have encouraged me. Sure, this is a tough situation in the “natural” realm, but thank God you live in another dimension! It’s in times like this that we look inside ourselves and ask the questions, “Have I grown in God?” “Am I REALLY strong in the Lord?” “Do I really trust God in every situation?” The answers to these questions in your life is obviously YES!
I am really proud of you and Paul, and the heart you both have for God. (I still remember the Word I had for Paul some time back) I am standing with you as you both pursue God, looking forward to the news of the next pregnancy!

Dawn, God has such wonderful plans for you and Paul. Any time you experience a loss there will be sadness, but know that HE will ALWAYS see you through. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for you, in the way of children. You will be an awesome mother!!!
