Prayers for my sister

[Guest guest]

What a day it has been. I have been racing around at work like a

chicken with its head cut off, then feeling sorry for myself. I had

not heard from my sister for two whole days, so I called her on my

way home from work (ok, I know I should not drive and talk on the

phone at the same time), anyway, last week (it is hard to believe it,

it seems like a longer time than that) I mentioned that my sister

just found out she was pregnant, and that this was such a good

thing. Well, she started spotting on Monday, with slight cramping,

and instead of feeling queasy, she is feeling terrific. She would be

seven weeks along this week. The doctor told her there is nothing

they can do at this point but wait and see, but he did not sound

reassuring. Then, yesterday, she quit her job (ok, I am not sad

about that one as her office is quite jerky to her). Please keep her

in prayer in the days ahead. If she miscarries, this will be the

second miscarriage. At age 40, I don't think she would ever want to

try again. It was a miracle that she even got pregnant this time.

They were not supposed to be able to get pregnant because of things

on her part, and her husband's part. Make me frustrated to have her

finally get pregnant with a child that was not supposed to be able to

happen, and then have it taken away. I know that all things are in

God's hands and that He is in control, but sometimes I want to scream

because of all the things our family has had to go through this last

year. I don't like my older sister having cancer, I don't like my

younger sister losing a baby, I don't like my brother's father-in-law

dying in a farming accident and my brother being one of the crew to

find him in the grain bin. I have to believe that God will turn this

for good, but just am in the cloudy stage and cannot see in the

mirrow clearly. Sorry for the missive, but just need to vent

tonight. Feeling tired and crabby from work. I want so much to feel

positive and good, but with everything that happens, it is tough. I

have asked my doctor if the body ever gets to the point that it wants

to just give up and no amount of fighting will help. He thought my

body still has a lot of fight left in it. Maybe it just needs to

take a break. Well I will quit now as this has become a book. Glad

to see so many people posting. Have a terrific evening!
