As I was reading the second chapter in The Divine Embrace I came across a passage in there that spoke to me like nothing has ever spoken to me before. The book was simply talking about how God is able to take care of your every need even though life is hard sometimes.
My husband Matt and I recently had our second miscarriage this past year. It happened exactly one week before Christmas. This of course left me feeling completely helpless and alone. What on earth had I done again to deserve this? We didn't know that we were pregnant again but it still hurt just the same.
In the book the passage that spoke to me said: " As incredible as it seems, there is a place over the rainbow, where the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Until that day, we must live our lives under the rainbow... Where the road ahead is not made of yellow bricks. Sometimes it has no bricks at all. Only the sharp edged remains of our shattered dreams."
Interestingly enough, I had recently decided to name the second baby Noah and for that very reason. The rainbow. What a great gift for me this book has been so far. Now I have a Lilly and a Noah waiting for me in Heaven. But until I get there I must go on living my life below the rainbow of my two precious angels.
