This is a blog about the joys of raising Sophia. It is intended to be REAL, inspiring, and shed light on the experience of having a terminal child. I hope that our experience will help people in one way or another. I could have never imagined having a terminal baby with special needs. The news was devastating. But there is joy in this journey. And life lessons to be learned. God knows us, individually, and he blesses each of of our lives daily. THIS, IS SOPHIA'S STORY...

The Lord Will Prepare You
When Sophia was in the hospital at times the veil was thin. I could feel the other side and I resisted. I didn't want their comfort because I thought it meant they were taking her. It was automatic.... maybe if I pushed them away....maybe she wouldn't die.
Well she didn't die that day, obviously NOT because of any impressions I pushed away, but because it wasn't her time. And I remembered something that my Aunt taught me when she was on hospice:
The Lord will provide you with opportunities to prepare for the trials that you will face. Avoiding those opportunities, does not mean you can avoid the trials. You will only end up unprepared.
ALMOST losing Sophia could have been an opportunity to prepare, IF I would have allowed it.
And that is my thought for the day ;-)
My girls ;-)
