"Even when the rainbow seems to pass right by me....I'm still finding Gold in the clouds....."

24 October 2007


I don't have a title for this post. I just have a heavy heart. Well, I mean, my heart is aching for my youngest sister Jill (age 32) who is pregnant with baby #2. Her first child, Emma, will turn 5 in March. Jill and Mike are expecting their new blessing sometime in early June. However, her pregnancy is not one of bliss like mine were. She is having a terrible time of bad nausea with vomiting, can't hold food down, has already had 3 trips to the hospital for the IV fluids she needs for her self and the baby. I am praying, my husband is praying and our close friends. Sometimes it is hard to pray and not see the results we desire, which in this case would be a pregnancy that is easier than the first. She was sick the entire 9 months with the first and my niece was born very small. She is healthy but tiny. I know that God holds her in the palm of His Hand and knows the outcome of this pregnancy and He even knows if she is going to be ill past this first trimester! Now I just need to persevere in prayer for her. If any of you would like to lift her up, that would be awesome! God Bless you!

Hi Faith, it's Tali

I found out this week I'm preggy with IVF baby no.2 and I'm due in June too.

I will keep your sister in my prayers as I go thru my own pregnancy.

I hope and pray that the LORD will reward her for all the sufferring she is going thru now. Whoever said we were the weaker sex must have ignored every pregnant women over the centuries :-) The LORD knows how strong she is. The joy of the LORD is her strength.
