We've never needed Jesus more. This year, our first two children passed (miscarriage). Our heart is shredded into pieces, but I keep going back to Romans 8:18
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
We have a wonderful church family that has seen us through this. I pray every day that God do His will. We are finally allowed to start trying to get pregnant again (doctor's orders). I know He will deliver us through this and bless us with a big, beautiful family!
“You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy,” Psalm 30:11.
Your faith is inspiring to me. I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I look forward to the day when I see the post that says, “Welcome our new baby pede!”. So glad you have a good church family, too. God bless you and your family.
It is so uplifting to me that a former atheist has had such a deep and unqualified conversion to being a Christ-follower.
And we all have those kind of unwanted thoughts at times, especially when we're suffering. Your transparency in sharing it helps me. I am working on being more transparent.
May our Lord wrap you and your wife in his loving arms and bring comfort and peace to you.
Thank you so much for your prayers. I might write a book one day about my conversion (after I am established permanently in the field -- don't want to ruin my career).
I would say I was mostly agnostic -- I did not know or care that God was there. How could it be that some being created this universe? The more I learned about astrophysics, the more I realized that God existed. It would take much too long to write everything down here. In any case, the day I was baptized was the best day of my life.
Thank you! God is even more thrilled :)

Stay strong friend. Trust in Jesus. I
Thank you. Amen!
When Jesus in the Book of life wrote of our babies birth, He gently turned the page and said, "Too beautiful for earth."
We will hold them one day. It's just not as soon as we would like.
Prayers friend. God also knows what it's like to lose a child.
Thank you so very much. This was a wonderful comment for my morning. It's been a long time since I've felt normal. God brings the only comfort.
God bless you.

It will be a glorious day! I am much looking forward to that. This year has been brutal. I had the most depressing thought of my life this summer:
"At least our babies died so that I didn't have to watch their births on Zoom."
I am slowly recovering, and my wife even slower. But we place our suffering with God and know that He will bring us comfort.
