Julie and Warren,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog on Facebook when a friend posted the link. I have been sitting here this morning praying for you. And I'm praying especially for you, Julie, that God would just pour His mercy and grace over you in the days to come. I have been where you are, and don't want to go into right now because I know how that feels as well..to be at a point where you can't handle someone else's hard story, because yours is more than enough at the moment. But, I know what it's like to loose a son way too soon. And I've just been praying about the details of the days to come..knowing what your c-section recovery will be like..knowing that you will still have signs on your body of a baby being there that will be hard reminders that he is not with you. I've asked God to cover you with his grace and protect you from pregnant questions or pregnant people or newborn babies for a while. I know how painful that is to see that all around you. I'm asking Him to cover you when your grief hits you the hardest. I'm just so sorry you both are going through this. I am also praying for both of you and your marriage as you live out the next several days and months of grieving together...I'm praying your one-ness is more and more evident and strengthened. I know your hearts are so sad and overwhelmed right now, but please contact me when you feel like you need to vent to someone who's been there or just talk. My email is petersen_robyn@hotmail.com and I'm on FB too. We are praying.
Love,
Robyn and Bryan Adams
Julie, I am so sorry for the loss of sweet Timothy. Know that his life and your faith have touched so many. My heart hurts with you, and I will continue to pray that God will pour his peace into your heart in the days to come.

Our hearts ache with yours in the passing of Timothy. But we rejoice with you, too, in his new perfect body in heaven and the wholeness and utter joy he has being with the Father. Praise God your hope is in Him and you know you will meet Timothy one day in Heaven. You have been good and faithful servants. Praying the Lord's peace and comfort be with you as He wraps you in the arms of His love during this very hard time.

Julie & Warren, I am Tori Finley's mom and she passed on the link to your blog. I have been praying for you as you seek God's grace, mercy and peace in dealing with the loss of your first-born. I can assure you that He is ALWAYS faithful and will not only give you the strength to get through these days, but He will also use it to His glory as you share your testimony of His provision with others. I know this because 42 years ago we lost our first-born son. We were in the military and did not know that there was anything wrong until just before he was born. I had to have an emergency cesarean. Steven was born with spinal bifida and he was hydro-cephalic. He actually lived 2 1/2 months and, unlike your situation, we expected to be able to bring him home. But he contracted spinal meningitis and died. I won't say that I didn't have some rough times, but God is faithful and He brought us through with a much stronger faith and opportunities to share our testimony with other hurting couples. Then, in His sovereignty, he gave us two more precious children whom we committed to Him to do with as He would. Tori is the second of the two and we are so thankful that God allowed us to have her for a 'short' time to love on and train her up in the way she should go! Of course, we didn't know He was going to send her to Africa (!)...but we are thankful for children who love the Lord and want to serve Him! I know that God will use this time of heartache to refine you and to give you a precious testimony that will bring glory to our Holy God. Praying for you.

Dawn asked us to pray for y'all today at church. Just wanted to let you know that we are lifting y'all up during this time. We unfortunately understand all too well what you are going through. Timothy is a wonderful gift from God and his short life has such a great purpose. We are praying that you will feel God nearer to you than ever before and that you will feel Him carrying you through. If you ever need a mommy to talk to that understands please don't hesitate, I am here. Also, I was told about a Christian support group you may be interested in. They have some great resources. It's called M.E.N.D. and is based in The DFW area. Praying for strength and peace for you and your families.
