I have three unborn siblings but all of them died before I was old enough to know about their existence( I believe I was 4 when the last one died). So I can't even imagine losing 7 little siblings. Reading the way your faith was strengthened through it all brought tears to my eyes. I truly hope and pray that I would have such faith in such a hard situation. <BR/>Love ya,<BR/>MelodyMelodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806337267217030471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055421854443202558.post-23849542025588487602008-09-25T14:21:00.000-07:002008-09-25T14:21:00.000-07:00Wow.. that is an amazing story.

My mom has only had two ...Wow, that would be hard. My mom has only had two miscarriages, and I thought that was enough. God has certainly been faithful to your family, and it's so wonderful how much more thankful it makes you for Nathan! My mom's first miscarriage was the hardest for me, because I <I>really</I> wanted another sister, and had been praying for one! It was hard to surrender and trust that God gives and takes away, and I should bless His name. Once I finally did I felt peace though. <BR/>I likewise, have 4 siblings! I can't believe people would ask if you were against having lots of children. But I agree, the # of siblings I have seems so small. <BR/>Sorry this is so long! I found your blog from Vanessa's... It's wonderful to find another like-minded blog!<BR/>Grace and Peace,<BR/>AllisonAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207618474192731259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055421854443202558.post-57584077747518477502008-09-24T16:50:00.000-07:002008-09-24T16:50:00.000-07:00Lydia, That is very touching, however beautiful.

I just sometimes am sad by my 2 unborn siblings as well, even though I was too small to recollect. But, the Lord always knows the best for us and our lives, even we don't understand why at times. What a beautiful post!<BR/><BR/> A sister in Christ, VanessaVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734677291033191967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055421854443202558.post-40837265010266638832008-09-23T21:20:00.000-07:002008-09-23T21:20:00.000-07:00You are such a precious sister to me.
