Weak week.

October 24, 2008

If you know anything about the Bible, then you are familiar with Job.  God loved who Job was so much that he allowed Satan to mess with his (Job’s) life.  Through the tragedy that Satan put Job through, his love and devotion of God did not falter (it is important to note that his spirit did…which is more than understandable).  Job, through loss and devastation commited his life and love to God.  Because of this life and love devoted to God, he had an incredibly blessed ending (read it, yourself)!

This week, Molly (and I, indirectly) had her second miscarriage in two years.   Arghhh!  NOTE:  Please understand that this is an incredibly personal topic and we are sharing it to help others, not to invite help for ourselves - thank you.  1 out of 4 pregnancies end this way.  Yes, it’s common but… that doesn’t take away the pain, sadness, anger, confusion, etc.  The past 5 years we have felt like Job (with this and other losses in our life).  Job had pain, sadness, anger, confusion, etc., yet he did not love God any less.  There are few revealed answers to all of the questions we have.  It has been an incredibly difficult place to be.  Thankfully, we have hope and love…all we need. 

This is where we are at this week.  It has been a weak week

Here are the lyrics of a Sanctus Real song that has brought us comfort in this time:

Whatever You’re doing inside of me, it feels like chaos, but I believe You’re up to something bigger than me.  Larger than life, something Heavenly.  Something Heavenly.
