Today, I am thankful for my sisters in Christ and what an encouragement they are. For those that don't know, Chris and I started going to a different church at the beginning of the year. I've been going to ladies bible class there and have really gained a lot of encouragement from the study we've been doing.
I added my request to the prayer list today and received many hugs and words of encouragement even though I don't know many of them well. I had only told one of the ladies about the miscarriage before today. I had to email her about something last week and mentioned it in the email. She was ready this morning with a hug and a thoughtful card.
Right after my prayer request was mentioned, this same young mom got up to make the difficult announcement that her 3 week old baby was just diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. Afterwards, she was surrounded by loving arms and encouraging words from everyone there. My heart just aches for her right now. She is such a sweet and encouraging person even during this terribly trying time. Please just pray for her family. Pray that God just envelopes them with peace and comfort right now.

We'll be praying for her as well as continuing to pray for you!
Love,

I am so glad you are apart of the ladies group and have that extra encouragement during this hard time. You and Chris have been in my prayers. I hope to see you tomorrow night at young wives.
Kelsey--I came across your blog by accident!! I am glad I found it though:) I wanted you know to know that I am praying for you to feel God's presence and for Him to envelope you as well. I would love to have you and Clara over to play sometime. Hang in there...I am also praying for Chris and his future interviews.
