Change of Venue

In July, we met at a local shop that sells specialty chocolates and coffee drinks, among other things. It was such fun to gather at a new place, just this one time, and connect with each other. We still shared our experiences, talked about our babies, and learned a bit more about each person who came. One of the gals started a ministry after her loss as a way to help other families going through similar grief. I'm so thankful God does not waste any pain we experience here on earth. He promises to take even the hardest situations and bring good out of them. It happens every time, though we can miss it if we aren't willing to believe it will happen. For many of us, some of the good that has come out of grief has been our ability to connect with, encourage, and support others whose babies have died or those dealing with infertility. For others, out of the questions that inevitably come after a loss, a new and/or deeper understanding of God's love is found. Some find that relationships are restored, or new relationships begin. Regardless of what you're experiencing, trust that God will always be faithful to His promises, including His promise to work for your good.
