The house is finally quiet after a fun, but long and busy day. I’m trying to get caught up on some work, but I can’t manage to get past just sitting here, listening to each of my six babies breath as they sleep.
I can’t concentrate on work. I can’t seem to focus on the many emails I need to read, the reviews I need to write, or the giveaways I need to post.
My heart is heavy.
There is a lump in my throat that makes it hard to breath. My eyes keep filling with tears. I have this intense desire to just hold my babies, even as they slumber.
Will you please help me lift up my Twitter friend, Shellie, in prayer. Her baby boy fell in their pool this afternoon and passed away. Please pray with me for the peace that passes understanding and for the comfort and strength that can only come from our Heavenly Father.
I can’t even imagine the pain that Shellie is enduring. My heart is broken for her.
I have no words…

Oh, I feel the same way. Going to snuggle my sleeping kids. I can’t focus and all I can do is pray for Shellie as I sit in the quiet.
Oh, I can’t even tell you how many times I started writing about something else entirely, but couldn’t clear my head… Nothing is more important than praying for our dear sister right now and loving on our own kids.
We must remember :: Life is fragile, but God is sovereign!
I find myself at a loss for words as well. Shellie doesn’t deserve this, Bryson doesn’t deserve this and it breaks my heart to know her family is hurting so badly.
Lord, I lift Shellie up to You. Be near her. Comfort her. Bring friends around her to support her in this difficult time. Amen.
I will continue to pray for her today.

My prayers and thoughts are with Shellie, her family and baby boy in Heaven.
I am new to reading Blogs but saw the post on Twitter last night and my heart just sank. I don’t even have to know her but I feel so deeply for her. It is such a sad day when we lose a child in this world. I hope her & her husband are getting all the support that anyone has to give. I can’t even imagine and, yes, there are just no words. Shellie just know that someone else out there in the world is praying for you, your family and your son.
Deepest sympathies and many, many prayers on their word.
