Sorry for the lack of updates, it is certainly not for lack of activity or news. I'll get to some catch up posts at some point soon. Michael recently asked if I'm done blogging. I'm not, life just sure is busy.
Today was Miles' due date. As hard as this day has been to get to and through, I can say with more certainty than ever before, the Lord is good.
"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord…Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage." Psalm 27:13-14
Knowing we will not meet Miles on this side of Heaven hasn't gotten any easier, but it is comforting knowing he is in the arms of His maker today and always. I have wrestled through suffering and grief over the last few months and have seen His goodness and mercy shine through it all.
"Darkness transfigures into light, bad transfigures into good, grief transfigures into grace, empty transfigures into full. God wastes nothing-"He makes everything work out according to His plan." Ephesians 1:11

In early February we found out we are expecting again! We have kept this news quiet until now, but we couldn't be happier that all things are pointing to a healthy baby due in October. He is so good!
In a way only the Lord could orchestrate, our initial due date was October 17th which was the day we found out Miles was no longer here. I could just hear Him whispering, "I am here."
"The ugly can be beautiful. The dark can give birth to life; suffering can deliver grace."

God has placed some truly amazing friends in my life here in GR. They are the friends that show up when things are hard. They surprised me and showed up with prayers and balloons to release in remembrance of Miles today. I can't look at these pictures without crying some really ugly tears. He is so good!
I have lots more to share but the highlights are:
- We sold our house! He is Good.
- We're moving to Louisville in June and have a great rental house waiting for us. He is Good.
- Michael accepted a job in Tyler, Texas as a spine surgeon with Azalea Orthopedics starting next summer! He is so Good!
