Sometime between the 30th of March, and the 1st of April, my little baby sister  went to live in heaven forever. Although the baby was a few weeks from being able to determine the gender, we belive she was a little girl.
My parents had bought a baby doppler machine, so up untill the time she passed away,  Mom listened to her heartbeat everyday, and the rest of our family often joined in. It was such a neat experience to be able to hear it, especially since we did not have the machine with the other babies that were miscarried.
We were all very shocked to lose her at fourteen weeks, and disapointed that we had waited untill twelve weeks to tell people, since then we were not able to share the happiness for very long.
It just makes you wonder why God would allow us to have that hope, and make our plans and dreams, only to have them torn away three and a half months later.
 Following God's will for your life and walking in obedience to His Word does not ensure earthy happiness at all, but it does reap rewards in heaven. I know that this little baby is just one more precious life that will forever be able to worship God, along with the other four other babies, because of my parents' willingness to let God choose the size of our family.

Jerimiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Romans 8:28 
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Blessings,
