Well many of you will remember praying for our little Julia when she was born and spent the first month in the hospital hooked up to all kinds of fun machines because she occasionally (too many times for me thank you) would stop breathing. We have not noticed her having any spells since she has come home until this Saturday. We were driving home from a family outing when I looked over at Julia and saw and heard that she was in trouble. All she needed was to be stimulated and she responded right away and was fine. That is more than I can say for her mother ( my heart is still recuperating!!!) I think it has just reminded me once again how much of a gift she is. I think I have cuddled her more in these last days than I have in a month. Each time I put her down for a nap or bed I pray confidently and have peace that God will post her angel closely and that if her little body decides it is done breathing that her angel will stimulate her when I can't. I am surprised how much peace I have. But I guess I shouldn't be. If I didn't have peace in my great big God how could I be going to Costa Rica in 2 weeks!!! I know that I can trust His plan for me, even when I can not understand it or see any future details I can trust His heart and that gives me peace.
love Sandra
p.s. If you think of us can you pray that God's hand would be on Julia's health.

Oh my sweet Sandra! As a mother who knows loss, my heart stops when I hear stories like that. You are amazing to have such peace already that God has her covered when you aren't there. It took me WAY longer to get there. I love you and it was so nice to finally meet her!! All the best as you prepare to go and say goodbye. Two of the hardest things to do at the same time!
Love and blessings
Darla
Dear Sweet Darla
not a day goes by that I do not remember your loss, your life has taught me so much about being authentic and embracing all that God has given us even when we don't understand His way but our lives are marked with experiencing the pain. You are an inspiration to me Darla, I love you very much and can't wait till the next time I see you 2011????
your friend Sandra
