Waiting
For the past two weeks it seems as though all I've done is wait. At first I was waiting to go to the doctor for my first sonogram, which is usually very exciting. After a concerning appointment we began waiting on blood tests, doctor's calls, more sonograms and blood tests and then the dreaded confirmation that I have miscarried. We know the risks of trying to have more children at my "advanced maternal age" but we also know that God is sovereign over all things. Also, God's timing is not our own. Though we thought this is the perfect time for us to have another baby God says to wait. So now that I am home and recovering from having a DNC, I am waiting again. This time I am waiting on my body to recover and my sweet family to let me get back to my normal work. Yes, God is still good and we are so thankful that He is in control of all things, including the loss of some of life's tiniest treasures.

Lori,
It is times like this when words seem so inadequate.
I have been and will continue to pray for you and your family during this time of great loss.

Lori,
Prayers of comfort for you, Ray and the girls.
I've been sending out Christmas cards, and decided to see if I could get up to date on the Rhodes family. So glad you have this site.
Blessings to you all.
Your old college roommate,

I Praise God that you and your family choose to lift up our Sovereign Lord not only when He deems to give, but also when He deems to take away. May He draw others to Himself through the faithful testimony of your faithful family.
Shannon
