Amazing Grace in Action!

These last few weeks have been especially hard for a close friend of mine who recently had a miscarriage. I myself have been greatly sorrowed by her loss as I am pregnant with my first child. Over the last few weeks I have really seen God work in her and her husbands life. As a counselor at Carenet Pregnancy Centers of Pierce County I have had training in some grief counseling, but have never really had to be personally involved. I have been simply amazed by God's healing grace in their life. And I am reminded of what a wonderful caregiver He is! He has surrounded them with Himself, His word, and His people. I am reminded of a song by Natalie Grant called Held, one of my personal favorites!

Two months is too little.

They let him go.

They had no sudden healing.

To think that providence would

Take a child from his mother while she prays

Is appalling.

Who told us we'd be rescued?

What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?

We're asking why this happens

To us who have died to live?

It's unfair.

This is what it means to be held.

How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive.

This is what it is to be loved.

And to know that the promise was

When everything fell we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness.

We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow.

The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

If hope is born of suffering.

If this is only the beginning.

Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

He has truly held them close to Him as He walks them through their pain and sorrow. He is truly Amazing Grace in action!

I love you Ryan and Amy!! Thank you so much for sharing your life with me!!
