Weekly Wishes #16

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Weekly Wishes

This Easter did not go as planned. I spent the evening in the hospital. I started bleeding and we found out I was having a miscarriage. I am still in shock, though I had a feeling that this pregnancy would end in miscarriage, just because it has been a rocky month. Please keep me in your prayers this week.

    So sorry Sarah. Whenever I lost a baby I would remind myself that He brings beauty from ashes. It's the message of Easter. My last miscarriage was the day before Easter and my oldest child was born the next year the day after Easter. God bless.

    Sarah I am so sorry for your loss. I remember how painful it was to pray for a natural miscarriage last year when we lost our Glory Baby, it seems so cruel and wrong. I will pray with you that you will not have to have a D&C, and will pray for peace and comfort in the coming weeks.

  22. Ida says

    Oh my this makes me feel so sad. I've never given birth so I cannot imagine the loss you are feeling right now. It breaks my heart but God has a plan for everything that happens in our lives and we just have to trust that this wasn't meant to be. I pray for peace, comfort and healing for you as you grieve this loss.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
