Our story is a story about a MIRACLE. It is not the kind of miracle that is so often shared in Christian circles. We have heard stories about untreatable cancer that disappeared and of a child that was never supposed to walk or talk and is now a healthy adult. These are often the kinds of stories people share with you when you are experiencing difficult circumstances. Stories about the TRAGEDY that was avoided or the near miss that is now in the rear view mirror of life. We value these types of stories and we CELEBRATE them!
Ours was not that kind of story. Our daughter Bailey Hope was born on February 20, 2009. She died on August 13, 2010. The eighteen months in between were horrible and heart wrenching as we experienced our worst fears coming true. We were not rescued FROM heartache and tragedy.
Our miracle was that we were joined IN this journey by friends and family that gave of themselves and by our GOD who held us in unexplainable ways. This is our story. We do not share it to garner pity. There are others who have similar stories. There are so many others who have more tragic stories.
We share our story because it is impossible to talk about our beautiful daughter, without talking about our beautiful God. We must talk about our daughter. We must talk about our God. It is the MIRACLE behind the MIRACLE.

Matt and Heather,
ReplyDeleteJaren sent us this address to let us know what is going on in your lives--I am checking it regularly and praying for you all daily. The girls are beautiful and absolutely precious:). I am praying that God will give you and Matt the strength you need to care for your new wee ones as well as McKenzie and Carter-and will continue to pray for Bailey's healing and for God's hand to be upon you all. It is good to see you again Heather, even if it is through photos:)--(I would love to visit you, but we are in Bangladesh right now, so this will have to suffice)
Peace in Jesus,
rhonda and jesse nash
