I write this with a very heavy heart. My family is going through a rough time right now. My sister had a minor surgery on Thursday and is still not doing so great. She has been in the hospital since Thursday and is still in a lot of pain. Her body is weak and she is exhausted. Please pray for healing upon her body. On top of this we are pretty much devastated to learn that my brother Shaun and his wife Courtney have lost their baby. They were supposed to deliver on May 13th and yesterday evening after not feeling any movement from the baby they went into the hospital. They then learned that there was no heart beat and are right now going through the process of delivering their baby and then through the horrible process of saying good-bye to their child. I can't imagine the pain they are going through right now . . . this is a terrible loss and we already miss the sweet baby we never got to meet. The only comfort we have is knowing that God remains faithful and even though his plans aren't always our plans, he definitely has a perfect plan. So I am asking everyone to get on their knees today and pray for them. Pray God will give them peace and pray that they will be able to go through the grieving process properly. Pray that God will give Courtney the strength she needs to deliver this baby boy and that Shaun will continue to be strong and supportive. I know that I am grieving for the nephew I never got the chance to meet and grieving for the pain that Shaun and Courtney are going to have to go through.
Here is a song that we sang in church that has definitely spoken to me today:
I have a maker
He formed my heart,
before even time began
My life was in his hands
He knows my name
He knows my every thought,
He sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call
I have a father,
he calls me his own
He'll never leave me,
no matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call
Praying for you Natasha, Shaun, Courtney, and my little nephew who is in heaven with Jesus!

Our hearts are heavy over here in MI for you guys and especially for Shaun and Courtney. I can't imagine their pain right now. We are praying for rest and peace and that somehow, with God's strength, they will begin the healing process.
Love you and miss you like crazy!!
