Ecclesiastes 7:1-2
A good name is better than fine perfume,
and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
Isaiah 43:1-2 NLT
But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
2 When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.

Isaiah 61:1-3 NLT
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.[a]
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,[b]
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
3 To all who mourn in Israel,[c]
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

Kutless: Arms of Love This is the song that was going through my head as my Doctor gave me the bad news: That Malachi had passed away. God wanted to tell me through this song that He didn't do this to hurt me. But to draw me nearer into His arms of love. I could have been completely angry at God yelling at Him or pushing Him away. But instead I chose to recognize that He is the only source of comfort and peace that I could have at that time. My husband was at home sick. I chose to go to the appointment by myself, but knowing in the back of my mind that something was wrong. I knew that God was with me in that moment of hell. He didn't cause it, He allowed it...is what I chose to believe. Malachi is taken care of and blessed to be in Heaven for entire life. He never got the chance to know pain, suffering or any of the bad things. He's only ever known good and will ever only know good. God put me in His arms on Feb. 18, 2013 and carried both of us and still is. His grace is sufficient for me!!
Tenth Avenue North: Worn While laying in bed with spinal headaches, this was my song. I felt horrible. I couldn't get in an upright position for longer than 5 minutes without wanting to throw up. On top of my milk coming in, losing Malachi and the headaches...this is exactly how I felt! It just wasn't fair! I was worn out and this became the cry of my heart
Kutless: Carry Me to the Cross : When I was too weak from either crying or pain, He carried me! Sanctus Real: I'm Not Alright: It's okay to be not okay!
Kutless: Even if the Healing Doesn't Come : I don't believe there will ever be a full healing from this experience. There will always be a 'scar', but God knows and is always good!
** I will add to this as time passes. These are just a few of the things that have helped me along the way.
4/19/13~ I just posted an actual resource list of helpful websites and blogs to go along with this post or for general need.
