Prayer Request

Yesterday I found out that one of my best friends from high school lost her baby. She was only 2 weeks farther along then me. When she lost her baby she was 15 weeks pregnant, and I will be 15 weeks this Wednesday. 

While I don't know the specific details, I do know that they did lose the baby (a little boy), and they almost lost my friend. My heart goes out to her and her family, and I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. I would love to support her in anyway possible, so if you have any ideas please let me know. 

I am not only heart broken and mourning with her at the loss of their son, but it has struck a fear inside of me. I know that I have NO control over my child's future. Worrying will do no good, and will not change God's plan. I also know that I need to trust God, but ever since I found out I am struggling with putting all my faith in him. I ask that you would pray for my friend, Terra, A LOT and just say a prayer that I would put my faith and trust in God. 

Thank you.

Carrie, I know it's scary! There was a girl that I knew that lost her baby at 23 weeks, and it scared me until well after I passed that mark. However, though it happens, it's much more likely that your baby will make it full term, healthy and become a wonderful soldier of God! I know how hard it is to rely on God, even though you know that he has the plan, somehow the love you have for your baby makes you want to be the one in control. I still have a hard time lifting up my struggles with Caleb to God everyday, even though I know he has Caleb's best planned for him. I'm not sure how you can cheer up your friend, but you can pray for her. That's one of the best ways to be supportive. There's no reason to believe that anything will happen to your's and Jordan's wonderful child, so praise God for the fact that tomorrow you will be at 15 weeks, and everything is still okay!!!!! I love you, and I hope you know that I can't wait to find out what the gender of your baby is, can't wait to see your beautiful child, and can't wait for our kids to have the chance to grow up together! :D
