After three months of waiting,
we began the process of taking our baby boy's nursery down,
and we put away most of his things.
It was incredibly difficult.
But, the same God who walked us through the unknowns last summer as we created it,
carried us as we took apart the crib, packed up the clothes, and stored the memories in a chest.
And, the same God who was writing the story when we took the crib down the first time,
will continue to show us all the goodness of His plan.
Our dreams are in His hands.
These words, this song, and the verses below are meaning a lot to me tonight:

These words, this song, and the verses below are meaning a lot to me tonight:
You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?
Psalm 56:8"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
Psalm 55:8

Psalm 56:8 is such a powerful verse that I carry near and dear to my heart as well. ((hugs))
Know one can take your memories away. Just because you take down the crib your memories will still be there. Your past can sometimes be good and sometimes full a bad memories but because you and Brandon have lived your lives as you have I believe you will be blessed with good memories. You will have the time God gave you to get to know your little man and one day you will see him again and he will be full of smiles, laughes, running into your arms. You have a wonderful son and maybe there is someone out there looking for a good home and you will be able to love another child. If you do not get that chance you have still had more than most people can hope for.
