I don’t normally post on Saturdays, but there have been a few things I wanted to share with y’all and well, Saturday it is. :)

I’d like to begin by mentioning how amazing and awesome I am. Okay, probably not, but apparently I’m gonna live longer. So that’s promising.
(Actually, I saw this print on etsy and was just looking for an excuse to use it. Funny!)

Sweet reader Kara asked if I would vote for the NICU that helped during the birth of her son…and then her daughter.
They’re trying to establish a Mother’s Milk Bank. Super cool.
The winner is awarded a $5,000 grant.
Wanna help her give back to the NICU that was there for her in tough times?
It’s crazy easy. Name, email, click. No spam. I did it. It’ll only take a sec.

I’ve been encouraged by the amazing stories shared by YOU in this post.
Have you read through the comments and supported another mama?
Have you written out or linked to you own story?
I loved this comment from Jessica:
The first time I heard John Piper preach, he spoke on our understanding (or lack thereof) of God’s ways. I’ll never forget his main point: “When God is doing one thing, He is doing a million things.”
We have 2 little girls here with us and 2 babies with Jesus. And God knit all 4 in my womb just for different periods of time. And I don’t know why. But I do know that had I not experienced my first loss, Ashlyn would not be with us. I would not know struggle and joy as profoundly as I do now. I would not be able to relate to other women who have experienced a similar loss and have honest, sincere and real conversations with them. Healing conversations. For both of us. I would not appreciate the miracle of new life as strongly as I do now. I would not have had to cry out to the Lord in prayer, dive into His Word for comfort and be reminded that my ONLY hope is in Him. “When He is doing one thing, He is doing a million things.” And I am thankful.
And in case you weren’t convinced of how absolutely awesome and amazing and important the work of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation is…take the few minutes and watch this segment that the Today Show did on them.
Please?
Pretty please? It’s really good. Promise. (Click this link in case the video isn’t displaying below.)

i like the sentence: “when i get sad, i stop being sad, and be awesome instead”. i think it’s a really good one, because the sadness in life can damage you and your enviroment, so if you get over the sadness you are truly awesome!!!!

thanks so much for the reposted comment from the stories of m’c and infant loss. her quote form john piper was EXACTLY what i needed to hear today. i think i’m going to make it into a sign and post it somewhere i can see it often to remind me that He’s up to something even when i don’t understand why i had a m’c.
