Dealing with infertility is one thing, dealing with the loss of a child is a whole nother! I know the pain of wanting a child... and at times it is unbearable. But watching a child struggle and dealing with the loss of a child is devastating to say the least. ( If you have not heard about Tripp and his story please look up the blog "EB"ing a mommy) My heart breaks for Courtney and the pain she is going through at this time. And sadly it will probably only get worse before it gets any better. For the last two years and eight months her life has consisted of all things Tripp. Loving him, caring for him, and never giving up. And now that has all changed. I know she is feeling a tremendous amount of loss and probably alot of what to do in her daily routine now. But the thing I most admire about her is her unfailing faith and trust in our all powerful God! At a time of struggle or loss is when our faith is normally most tested, but not with Courtney! Her testimony and Tripps are all in Gods plan! Tripps life did not go without purpose! God used his little life as a testimony! He has reached people all over the country and with reaching them he has also told them about God without ever even speaking! How awesome is that??? Just by hearing of him and reading his mothers blog, each person that has read her blog has heard the love of Jesus! As hard as it was to see the unbearable pain Tripp had to deal with in his little life it leaves me awestruck to think of the pain that Jesus went through on the cross for our sins. The torture and pain Jesus went through does not compare to any pain any human being has ever gone through on this earth! He did that for us! Accepting Jesus in our hearts and living in His image brings us eternal life. So that Him dying on that cross for us does not go in vain! Think of it this way. If you had a surgery to remove one of your kidneys to give to someone to save there life and they denied it you would feel as if you went through all of that pain and recovery for nothing. Well Jesus feels like that when you do not accept Him as your Savior and live your life for Him. I know without a doubt that little Tripp is in heaven with Jesus and all His glory! Free of pain and suffering! But his mommy and family are left here for the time being dealing with the pain and suffering of his loss. Please take to time to lift them in prayer. To give them strength and peace in there time of dispair.
Psalm 27:4-5
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
