A better day

Hey everyone,

So today has been a better day. I woke up refreshed and ready to be productive. I thank you all for your prayers and comments. You don't know how much that means to both Taylor and I. When I receive them it just brings me back to that warm place of knowing there are many people out there praying for us. Even though it has almost been a year you haven't forgotten and that means the world. To all the people out there that have sent me messages that I have never met.......WOW...... I am tearing up right now just thinking about how special that is. God has brought so many wonderful people into our lives that we never would have known and for that I am so grateful.

I went in for my weekly acupuncture this morning. It was really nice and relaxing. I am trying to keep my stress down to a minimum right now and I have to say that is easier said than done. We are still also going to the fertility clinic and will be able to take a test on Monday the 21st. I have so many mixed emotions about it all. I know next week is going to be extra hard with Mamie's 1st birthday being on Friday. Crazy how this all fell in the same week. God has great things in store for us I know. If you have any room for some extra prayers we could really use it next week.

I am off to get some work done before my photo session tonight. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Stay cool!

-Sarah

  1. Girl - Mamie's sweet face at the top of your blog brings me tears each time I see her, so I can not imagine what all you've got going on in your heart and mind, but I do know that as you stated yourself - God is there. He's right there and his mercies are made new every morning. "Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning". I know you've seen this very scripture come to fruition in your own life especially this past year and have found your rest and peace there. That is such a testimony Sarah - that you keep leaning into the arms of God and trusting in His plan! Prayers are said for you each time you come to mind which is more often than you would think! God takes care of his children --- those already with him in heaven and those left to carry on His plan on this Earth!!! He's near and I pray you hear a whisper form Him in a very special way today Sarah.....just to remind you that He's right there. :)

  2. Love you and I cannot tell you how happy I am to have read this today! It's okay to have days like yesterday, and it honestly won't be your last bad day, but knowing that today was a new day...I know that God has a plan for you, as he does for all of us. I hate that you have days like yesterday, but I do know them well, and want you to know that they do get less and less frequent. Love you so much and am keeping you in my heart and prayers these next few weeks.

  5. Praying for you tonight. Imagining your anxious heart about Monday and the next week ahead. I feel like our journeys are so closely knit together and you are so right in your confidence that GOD does have GREAT things in store;) Praying for a peace that transcends understanding and praying for GOD'S reminder of His faithfulness. You are never alone, even in the quietness of your heartache, HE sees and hears. Love you girl....

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...

Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast.  I did as well :)  I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting.  There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :)  It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light.  We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it.  She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling.  I love it. - Sarah Winnie eating the stickers instead of putting them on her art piece :)
