The God of All Comfort

5 years ago I lost a tiny little baby.  She was my sweet Sadie's twin...  Her death rocked my world and changed me.  You can read the whole story here.   In addition to our little Sophie, we have two other babies in heaven....

Many of you have lost babies, too... or know women who have felt the stabbing pain of loss. 

So I hear that October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. We are fortunate to live in a time where we can connect with other women who have been through similar struggles.

So as one of those women I just want to say, "hi."
I want you to know you're not alone.
I want you to know that the pain does lessen
...and God can heal.

My good friend Malinda is posting about this today.  She says it better than me :)
She's hosting a Giveaway for a print in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month.
I designed it.
It's sweet.
But more importantly than that, it offers real comfort.
Comfort that can only come from our Heavenly Father, found in his Word....

So go on over to her blog and sign up to win one... for  yourself or for a friend. 

Blessings,
Amy J.

Hello Friends!
Well, I had a great birthday weekend!  Thank you to those of you who blessed me by sharing birthday wishes and also your favorite verses of scripture.   I was so uplifted and encouraged by reading them!

Well...  for those 19 of you who are actually reading this post...
As far as the giveaway goes, The winner is MALINDA!  ...  email me Malinda and we'll get you a customized print to adorn the walls of that new house that you love so much :)

On Friday, my birthday, I got to go out with the hubs for a bit in the evening... I requested that we take V with us and try to snap a few 8 month pics of him.  And that's really the best way to describe how it went down... we tried to get a few good shots, the timing just wasn't right... too rushed and not enough light... oh, well.  But we still ended up with a few decent pics.  

 

Blessings and Happy Monday!

Free Printable Tags and A GIVEAWAY!!! ...because it's my birthday!

 So today is my birthday.... yea!  I'm 29.  I'm okay with that, because I'm the baby of the family and I'll always be younger than my siblings. He He.  Sorry, Erica :) (at least I didn't say how much younger I am than you!)

To celebrate the day, I'm giving you some free printable tags and doing a GIVEAWAY!  ...I've never done a giveaway before...  hmm... should be fun!

 I designed the patterned background in these tags to look like vintage sheets... I love vintage sheets.
