Crystal, thank you for sharing this. I love to see how God works in the lives of people given children with terminal conditions. Their faith is always an inspiration to me.
Our first child was one of these children, although she was not born alive. I wondered how God could ever turn our worst nightmare, losing a child, into something that would work for "our good." Some days, I feel like I'm still waiting for the answer. I know I'll never know completely until I am face to face with the Lord in glory, but I do know that he HAS turned our tragedy into good that we CAN see. I see it everyday in the face of my son who would not be here had she lived.
Our daughter's headstone quotes Romans 8:28. I found that I HAD to cling to that promise, that assurance, if I was to keep going. It still holds me up to this day.
Dear Crystal, Thank you so much for sharing this. It has really helped me to read it. We too are enduring a similar trial. I am 25 weeks pregnant and 12 days ago we were told that our unborn baby, Esther Jane, has Trisomy 18 or Edward's Syndrome. It too is classed as a fatal condition with something like 90% of babies not making it even to full term.
We can testify to God's faithfulness and loving kindness leading us through this. We know that He holds us and our precious little girl in His hands and that sustains us. Michelle
