Pregnancy
This is my entry into the January contest. I really like how this one turned out, considering I didn't have a photo on hand to help me at first.

Quote:
To everything there is a season.

Journaling:
My pregnancy was a surprise to both of us 5 years ago, but we accepted, by faith, that there would somehow be provisions made. Everything was bought by the end of the first trimester...then we lost the baby. Sadly, we didn’t even get a picture of her. Nothing will replace the first child, but I just know that another child will help fill that void. I just have to keep believing that God knows what He’s doing. We’re still hoping for a child; however, this weekend was the first time I had ever really given the whole situation to God. I was sitting in church, praying, and the enormous sadness came back again. I gave my pain and worries to God at that very moment, and from that point on I decided to take each day as it comes. I have finally accepted that Jesus is taking care of my little angel. I just can’t wait to see her!

Wow what beautiful journalling. I think you have done a fantastic job with this layout. I think we all know of someone who has found it hard to fall pregnant, I myself had a hard time but now have two beautiful children. I think that you made the right choice to hand it over to God. Thank you for sharing this layout as it is something so personal. May God bless you and I will pray for you.

This LO is really touching. I know it's hard to loose a baby and difficult to understand. Many blessings to you. Your LO turned out beautiful.

Beautiful layout. You did a fantastic job portraying the feeling with the photo. Your journaling is beautiful and touched my heart. I have been there, and God does have a plan. My prayers for your peace of mind while you wait for Him to reveal it to you. Great job with the challenge.

Thanks so much for all of your comments. I know this LO is particularly personal, but I have always talked about my life's challenges with others so that I might be able to help others get through life's twists an turns. From personal experience, it's nice to know that you're not the only person who has felt the way you do...or who has gone through the same thing you have. It's nice to be able to talk to someone who has been there and can understand where you're coming from.

Thanks again!

Such a touching layout.

I seem to find myself in tears at least once a day around here. But, that's
not a bad thing. My first pregnancy ended too early; I remember the sorrow.
I'm glad to know that you have turned it over to God.

Thanks for sharing this.

This is really touching; thanks for sharing something so personal--I know your struggle can help others facing the same difficulties. I had a very hard time waiting to get pregnant, too, though I never had to face the loss of an unborn child. Now that I have my beautiful boy, I can look back and see how absolutely perfect the Lord's timing was for our family. It is so hard to see His plan and trust that it's there when your in the middle of the storm, though. I will keep you in my prayers.

You captured the sentiment beautifully with the LO, too. A wonderful photo and a heartfelt piece of journaling. This will be a wonderful inspiration to look back on when God's plan becomes clear to you--whatever it may be.

I wish you the all the best!
