Sophia was given her middle Joy name for two reasons. First we wanted her to have similar character to our friend Joy Chapman who had gone to be with Jesus not to long before. Joy was and continues to be a testament to joyful living. She was also quick to pray about all things. We miss her and look forward to seeing her again someday. Secondly, we wanted her to have the Joy of the LORD to be ever-present in her life. This world has enough sadness and woe in it. So we pray that she learns to fix her eyes on Jesus, so that no matter what happens in life she can still experience joy.
Aannabelle we gave the middle name Hope. We did this because when we think of her we are reminded of the hope that we have in Christ. We need not despair for long because we will get the chance to see her and Miracle in heaven. As the song states, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus and His righteousness. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is shifting sand."
Lastly, we gave Miracle the middle name Faith. We did this because no matter what happens in life our faith in God can't be moved. Moreover, we know that God could have healed Miracle, but it was part of His plan that we only got 15 weeks with her. I know and hope that this sadness will bring growth to me and hopefully my testimony will bring comfort to others. Lastly, my hope is that how my faith in Christ brought me through this difficult time will help to bring others to faith in Him.
This is my last post regarding my three beautiful girls. I will forever hold them all in my heart. One way that I will be doing that is by taking part for the first time in the Choices Pregnancy Center's Walk for Life. I will be walking in memory of Annabelle and Miracle. So I would like to ask you pray and consider sponsoring me as I walk for life. You can do so by clicking below.
