I love the Christmas season. But, this Christmas was very unique for Austin and I. I truly felt the Saviors love for me and my testimony of His life, Atonement, and the Plan of Salvation was strengthened.
A couple days ago we went to the Doctor and received some very heartbreaking news. Our little baby had stopped growing. At first it was all a blur to me, I didn't know what the doctor was saying, I couldn't digest his words- it all seemed so surreal. As we got in the car it all hit me and it felt as though my heart had been literally broken. I felt so empty inside, hoping that there was some mistake. After several sleepless nights and many beautiful priesthood blessings- I miscarried our little one. My heart still aches as I long to hold our baby, but this past week my testimony of the Plan of Salvation has truly been strengthened. I am so grateful Austin and I were married in the temple and will have an eternal family some day. I am thankful for all the prayers that have been offered in our behalf. I know that this trial has already strengthened me in many, many ways and for that I am grateful.
