The Post that I had No Words For

A Precious FamilyWhen I look at this picture I see a family full of love. I know the personalities behind each pair of eyes and I love each one of them. Ross is my kid brother and we have stories beyond stories to share about each other. My heart is breaking for them today as it has been for several months now. Allison's bulging belly has their third daughter, VernaAnn Gabrielle growing inside her. In many of my other posts I have asked your prayers for this family. We all thought that VernaAnn had another month to grow inside mommy, but the Lord has other plans. Allison will be induced on Tuesday November 10 because the amniotic fluid has come back and it is too dangerous for Allison.
My brother and Allison are high-school sweethearts. Their love has grown so much over the years and has grown stronger since they found out about baby VernaAnn. I admire their courage, strength and endurance. I know this has not been an easy road for them and I know it won't be an easy road for them, but I know that they have a deep love for each other and a deep love for the Lord.

My nieces Faith, VernaAnn and Sophie!! Look at the love they have for their sister. I just love these girls. As my previous post said I have no words and really I don't because I am just beyond words right now, but the Lords Word is full of wisdom and I will close with that.

Psalm 139:13-18
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

Oh, Stac. These photos are breathtaking and heartbreaking. So sweet. Thinking of Ross, Alison and your whole family and holding them in prayer.

Love you!
