Blogging Block
I’ve tried several times to sit down and write something out. But nothing comes. Even my A’s to the Q’s aren’t coming out right.
There’s not much going on, but what is is leaving me with a void. I know I dislike vague writing and it seems like I’m a master of it lately, but soon there will be details and tears and lots of words flowing.
But for now, I am asking for a few prayers for my friends.
My bestfriend Tiffany (along with her husband and children) is in the process of moving. They still have to close on a house in Orlando, but then they will be gone. Of course I’ll be down there practically monthly. I know it’s hard for them, but it’s such an exciting time for them as well. I’m sad because we won’t be seeing one another weekly and our children won’t be growing up together. My heart aches and rejoices in this move.
My good friend Charity has just suffered a miscarriage. The “pregnancy wasn’t viable”. I hate that term. My MIL said on the phone, when we had a m/c, “The baby’s dead. There’s no reason to cry.” Those words still hurt my heart today. This, coming from a woman who lost her own baby between my husband and Brother In Law.
Please pray for Charity, her husband and son. This baby was much desired by all and already had so many people loving him/her. I know miscarriages are common, but that doesn’t help any when someone is going through it. It’s a hard, dark time. I pray for God to just wrap His arms around her and heal her heart.
Thank y’all.

Praying for you.

Wow, lots going on. I will certainly pray for you and your friends that are moving as well as for your friend that had a miscarriage.
Here is a verse that has been a comfort to me through the years. Isaiah 33:6 And He will be the stability of your times. A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.

I am so very saddened to hear about Charity. I am sure she’ll find comfort and support from you and your experience, along with her deep faith I have seen her display in other difficult times. Please let her know I will be in prayer for her and her family.

people said the stupidest things to me after my miscarriages as well. Things like “at least you didn’t get too attached” or “it’s not like you KNEW the baby so that must make it easier” or “that’s ok, now isn’t the best time for you to have a baby anyway”.

I’m grieving with your friend, Jill. My heart breaks for the tiny life lost and the family left behind.
To those who may read this, I have a request on behalf of all of us who have lost a baby to a miscarriage (or in my case, five). You may not know what to say, and that’s ok. Please be careful, though, and put some thought into what NOT to say. I’ve been blessed to have supportive friends who gave me lots of hugs and knew when not to say anything. Be one of those friends! They’re priceless.

I will be praying!
I wanted to say I added a small testimony to my blog:)

I have been having some “writer’s blog block” too recently. Luckily I have a few reserve posts till I get back in the groove.
Will say a prayer for your friends.

Jill,
Your post brought tears in my eyes. That’s right! I have been super emotional lately because i truly want another baby, and when i hear such sad stories, my heart aches. My prayers are with your friend and her family at this time.
Good times will come!
