Last Friday was Asa’s first heavenly birthday. We started the day at the to fill out the rest of the books donated in honor of Hope and Asa, and to ship out a refill order for a remembrance cart. As we did, we took the time to look at each book in the box donated in honor of someone else’s baby. 🥹🤍
•
Thomas, Zeke and I might not know personally every baby whose name we read, but we know the God who does. Because each life they lived was so precious, we love them even though we don’t know them. We hold them in spirit, along side each parent who has lost the unimaginable.
•
For our babies, I’ve spent an entire year missing Asa with every breath I breathe, so I didn’t really expect the day to carry as much weight as it did. But as we sat there looking at every gift note donated in honor of our babies, we couldn’t help but tear up with appreciation.
•
You spent your time, money and energy to love us, and to validate the short but impactful lives of both our babies- and as you did this, you also validated the grief of each parent who will receive an item- you’re part of validating those babies lives as well.
•
For all of that, for your donations to Asa’s fundraiser, for all the small and large ways you’ve loved us this last year and to the people who were responsible for our own remembrance cart items we received in the hospital, we are overflowing in gratefulness and humility. You will never know the impact you’ve had in our healing with your pour out.
•
Thank you for celebrating with us the LIVES that our babies lived. Thank you for being comfortable with our grief in their deaths. Thank you for just everything. It’s all too much to put into words. I know I haven’t personally thanked each person yet with the proper etiquette- this year has been a relentless ocean wave- but I know who you are, I see you and hold your selflessness in my heart. Thank you is truly not enough- but I’ll say it anyway-
•
Thank you- Thomas, Lily, Zeke, Hope 🩷 & Asa 🩵

Thomas and I are starting a new pregnancy and infant loss support group at in Birdsboro.

Walking through the grief of loss through miscarriage and still birth have been some of the heaviest and darkest seasons of our lives. We are so grateful that Jesus has been with us each step of the way- in the bad, the ugly and sometimes joys of this journey.

Sacred Valleys is for moms and dads who have experienced their own loss- it is a place to share our stories and listen to others- where our griefs can be normalized, and for us to feel less isolated on this walk.

If you have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, please know you are not alone in your own valley. We are here for you and invite you to join us this Monday, April 13th from 630-8pm. 🤎

Text “VALLEYS” to 610-486-5140, comment here, or message me for more information and to stay up to date for our future group meetings.

Our sweet Hope girl…🩷
•
The one we never got to meet…
•
But I knew you. 💕
•
Because Jesus put you on my heart and in my dreams. He gave you your name. 🤍
•
My sweet Hope girl.
•
I’m so glad I got to be your mama.
•
Today we don’t get to hug you, but we still get to love you.
•
Today we don’t get to enjoy the laugh of you as a 4 year old- or even look at pictures of you.
•
But we get to look at these pictures that remind us of you.
•
Each one is worth a thousand words- of Gods kindness and faithfulness.
•
Each picture tells a story of the people who showed up to support us in the form of gifts, plants, pink drinks, pedicures and dinners.
•
Each person who loved us and has spoken your name to us, stands as a testimony of your precious and dear life.
•
Sweet baby girl- we will keep speaking your name until the day we meet you for the first time.
•
The girl we’ve met and know in our hearts.
•
Forever loving you- your mama 💕🤍

Seriously?! 😭
•
So stinking grateful for all of you who donated this last week, to celebrate Asa’s 1st heavenly birthday & Hope’s 5th. 🥹
•
This week marks the one year anniversary of our “faith week”- when we found out Asa was no longer living, but we prayed for a miracle still.
•
So I cannot tell you what this does for my mama heart, that in a season that should be heavier, you’re helping make it lighter by acknowledging the LIFE that Jesus gave our babies before their deaths. 🤍
•

Grateful for texts like these 🥺
•
If you would like to donate to the in honor of Hope & Asa’s birthdays in April, and I would be so grateful.
•
When you check out, leave a gift message saying that you’re donating in honor of Hope & Asa- and we would love if you would say who it’s from so that we can personally thank you. 🤍🩷🩵
•
This last year we have carried grief, but we have also carried appreciation for not only God’s nearness, but also ALL of the support we’ve received from our friends and family. Thank you for talking about and remembering our babies.
•
The loss of a child isn’t something we will ever be able to move on from- but with the stability we have been given by our many supports, we are able to keep moving forward while honoring our Hope and Asa loudly.

In this season of life, hope is something that I’m trying to cling to. Hope is something that feels a bit painful at times; something I want let go of, but something God keeps telling me to hold onto; to carry around with me. I picture my hope in a brown shoe box, as though I’m carrying it around in my armpit… it’s my little buddy that goes everywhere with me- even when I would desperately like to store it on a shelf in heaven for safe keeping-asking God to give it back when the time is right.

But the Bible tells us that hope deferred makes the heart sick, and earlier this year, when I tried to put my hope on a shelf in heaven, it did make my heart sick- and it started leaking like a poison into other parts of my life, making me bitter, untrusting and resentful towards God.

I was sent a Butterfly Box from Twelve 12 Ministries, a ministry that supports parents struggling with pregnancy loss and with infertility. In this sweet box was a sticker with Romans 12:12 “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”
‭‭
I have been patient through tribulation this year, and I have been constant in prayer… but being joyful in hope has been something I have been struggling with. To keep hoping for something that seems impossible, means being vulnerable for heart break- over and over again.

As I read this verse, I told God, “But my hope is in heaven with you- for safe keeping.” He told my heart, “I never asked you to put your hope in heaven.”

So I grabbed this hope box, one of my most precious possessions right now- the one that somehow grieves me too and I’ve kept it with me ever since.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at a market next to my new friend, The Painted Lily. At the end of the market, as I looked over her beautiful work, I saw this ornament, and knew that it was made for me. When I showed it to Thomas, I could tell it was made for him too, as we both continue the practice of welcoming hope- wild hope. Hope that doesn’t make sense.

So I’ll continue to pack around my hope box- maybe a little worse for wear- and as I read this beautiful ornament to my heart- I am rooting myself in the truth of God and of his word. That he is still faithful, that hoping in him is still a trustworthy anchor for my soul, and that all of his promises in Christ are “yes!” and “amen!”
