I’m the mom of four kids on earth and wife to Jesse. The year 2014 was full of heartbreak and hope. I started the year pregnant with identical twin boys. Unfortunately I lost one twin in the first trimester through miscarriage. My three-week old son Josiah passed away 9 months later as a result of malpractice. Hope Anchors My Soul is a place where I journal all that I am experiencing in my journey through grief.
During the 23 days of Josiah’s life, God took me on a journey of spiritual revival. He took my lukewarm, apathetic heart and turned it into a passionate and evangelistic heart for him. I love to tell of how He comforted and strengthened me when my worst fear as a parent came true.
As I left my sons’ memorial service on a rainy September afternoon, I glanced into the sky and saw a rainbow. This rainbow appeared in the location where, just moments before, we had released baby blue balloons. It was a reminder to me that God never leaves our side. He will work your story and mine for his good. Now I am choosing to look for rainbows in the aftermath of the storm.
