more questions

2 Thessalonians 1:12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Did God allow my baby to be stillborn? I believe He is in control of all that happens to His children.
Could He have saved my daughter? Of course.
Would that have been the best for me and my family? It would have been nice if He healed her body and she got to live a nice life on earth, but I don’t believe it would have been His best.
How could losing your baby to a chromosome disorder be the best? For one thing, my kids got to watch us (Mommy and Daddy) put all of our trust in the Lord and they saw how God protected us through it all. They hear Mommy talking about how it is beautiful and glorious, how Jaden gets to go to heaven before us. I believe it has given them tools to use when they have to go through hard times in their own lives as adults. Not that losing their sister was easy for them but they, as children, do not have the same expectations and feelings of loss that we do as adults. I believe we create a lot of our hurt by putting fantasy expectations on life. Children live in the present. If Jaden is here, “great”, if not, well, they still want to go play and spend time together and do what kids do and they soon forget about an expectation they once had. Also, I would not have a ministry for stillborn parents and families if I had not walked this out.
