It was a verse that confirmed to me what my heart needed to know after losing my own babies:<br /><br />"I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." 2 Sam. 12:23b (King David speaking after the death of his baby)<br /><br />It fits with what you wrote in the "3 Things" post, about one of the three things you know being that you WILL see Gabe again.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405493740949334737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-56908592044886544562009-08-13T22:46:40.459-04:002009-08-13T22:46:40.459-04:00Exodus 23:19-21Exodus 23:19-21Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349785408418170356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-3476590153024518992009-08-13T22:23:38.219-04:002009-08-13T22:23:38.219-04:00Look at Jonah sitting up!!

Ezra 8:23<br /><br />During my pregnancy with my 7 month old I kept asking DH what we were going to name the Baby. And, after months of thinking about it he finally came to me and said "I have a name!! Ezra." A short while (weeks maybe?) later I was cleaning out some old spiral bound note books and I would open them to see what was written inside. Well, I opened this green one. And right there on the first page-in my hand writing was EZRA 8:23. It was confirmation that our Baby was to be named Ezra. And, for a middle name-it's Mark...after Mark 11:22-24 (the verse I stood upon before and during the pregnancy. THAT verse would be awesome too but, it is probably too long. We didn't find out the sex until Ezra Mark was born. I forgot to mention that Ezra is my answered prayer after MULTIPLE miscarriages.<br /><br />Your blog has touch me DEEPLY. Thank you.

I wanted to leave a comment because your sweet baby Jonah is precious, and I have a sweet boy named Jonah, too!<br /><br />I love Is. 41:13<br />For I am the Lord your God who takes you by the right hand and says to you, "Do not be afraid. I will help you."<br />I love, love, LOVE this verse.<br /><br />Also Is. 43:1<br />But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, and He who formed you, O [Jonah], "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name, and you are Mine!"<br /><br />Jer 1:5<br />Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you."<br /><br />Blessings to you and your precious family!valerie in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112899504149881702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-32434413029807605212009-08-13T15:18:01.939-04:002009-08-13T15:18:01.939-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.valerie in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112899504149881702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-34982933937236400602009-08-13T14:10:48.729-04:002009-08-13T14:10:48.729-04:00I haven't taken the time out to read all of th...I haven't taken the time out to read all of the suggestions, but this is a verse that I keep so close to me as a mother of a stillborn daughter. <br /><br />This would be for Gabe of course:<br /><br />John 16:22<br />"Now you are having pain.
