Prayers for Derrek and Samantha

Please think of Derrek and Samantha today as they're going through a rough time. An ultrasound Monday revealed that the baby did not have a heartbeat and Samantha would miscarry. They are at the hospital today, and Sam is having a D&C. I know many of my blogging friends have experienced infertility or miscarriages and know how hard this is for them. It's easy for people to say things like "it happens a lot" or "they can try again" or the often thought but hopefully not spoken "it wasn't really a baby yet." But it was a life that they were planning for, their baby, and now it's gone. I was at the doctor with Samantha on Monday when she found out, and her heart was breaking. I'm heartbroken for them and for the grandchild we have lost.

I know we already talked but you know I'm always here for you. And be sure to tell Derrek and Samantha they're in our prayers. Some things happen that we just can't explain and that's when we have to trust in God and look to him for comfort and peace. He's always there for us.
