Our Most Recent News
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, Heather had a miscarriage and we lost our baby. The doctors told her on Monday, November 21st, that she would likely miscarry as the baby's growth did not match a normal pregnancy for eleven weeks. On Friday, November 25th, Heather ended up in the hospital as a result of an incomplete miscarriage which led to a severe loss in blood. She is doing alright now as she has had several weeks to regain her strength. We are so grateful that for the past two weeks we had family in town to care for Wyatt during this difficult time. We are very saddened our loss. It is in this sadness and pain that we have once again been reminded that we are not our own, but in body and soul, we belong to our Heavenly Father, the author and giver of life. And so we stand assured, and we hope this serves as a reminder to you, that our God is the true comforter to those who mourn. “ I, I am he who comforts you, who are you that you are afraid of man who dies.” Isaiah 51:12 We have every reason to be hopeful for more children in the future, but please remember us in your prayers as we struggle with the loss of this child.
Finals!
Christmas is approaching, and Wyatt is full of exploration into the season traditions...namely the Christmas tree! My school responsibilities take my focus elsewhere. As the semester comes to an end, I am a little overwhelmed with finals. Then end is in sight however! Please be praying for me to balance all that is required of me in the next two weeks. As a family we have personally had such an overwhelming time leading up to finals that at times it is very difficult to focus. I trust that God will see me through the completion of each class this semester. My first semester has been a wonderful experience at Covenant. ~David
