Grieving

Today, our sweet friends Shay and Kevin Steedley, lost their baby. She was full term and went into labor, and the Lord decided to take her before she entered into the world. She was beautiful, and tiny, and perfectly made by a God who has been knitting her together in her mother's womb from the day of conception. We believe in a sovereign God who is in control of all things. We believe that her days were written just as ours are. However, we are deeply saddened. WE grieve and pray with the Steedleys, and will continue to hope and trust for them, even when they don't think they can. The Lord has given them phenomenal grace that comes only from Him, and the strength they have displayed and the glory they have still been able to give to our God during these tragic circumstances, is remarkable. I am thankful for Virginia "Ginna" Steedley. Today, she and her parents have caused me to see Jesus, and for that I am always grateful.
