I am the mother of 16.

“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
the flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.”
– How Firm a Foundation by John Rippon, 1787

This is the day I remember the nine babies I have lost to miscarriage and stillbirth. This is the day I give thanks for their short lives made known to me.
This is the day I give thanks to God for carrying me through the unimaginable.
All His ways are good! He is worthy to be praised!
