I am so sorry about this fearful time and hard time of wondering what hard things your Lily is wrestling with, that manifest in not communicating and with nausea. I am so sorry. A friend of mine wrestles with some similar things with her daughter and we cry together somedays. <br /><br />I have my own fears that pull me down sometimes, and I am thankful for an Abba Daddy who can whisper truth, patient tenderness, and grace to me in that- often through his word, through others. <br /><br />Have a good week, Nacole. <br /><br />Jennifer Dougan <br />www.jenniferdougan.com<br />Jennifer Douganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659224247916807471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108147564771067205.post-33085296082143647472012-10-18T19:44:03.282-07:002012-10-18T19:44:03.282-07:00oh girl. oh my friend. may you be released of guil...oh girl. oh my friend. may you be released of guilt, set free to see that God is in this, in your sweet baby girl, in your beautiful mama heart, and that we can't save each other. all we can do, in all of our brokenness, is lead our children to the foot of the cross. and this, you are doing so, so well. love you nacole. praying.

Her little heart seems to be carrying a weight she cannot voice and it will take a holy spirit touch to 'open' her. <br />Lord Jesus you know this little one I ask for you to touch her deep and heal the 'broken' voice that doesn't want to come from her. I ask that you give her strength, confidence and a new awareness of her momma's gentle love. I ask that you heal her father, heal her speech and heal her heart through the power and the name of your holy spirit~ Amen.

My heart goes out to you and your daughter. May you both experience God's peace through this difficult time. I first heard the song "Better Than a Hallelujah" a few weeks ago, and its words have brought healing. What a comfort to know that our Heavenly Father hears our wordless cries and loves us enough to never leave us, no matter how much we may be hurting!

I so wish that I could take this pain from you as your mama. My heart aches to hear the words written upon this page. God know all our hurts, heartaches and pains and he wants so much to take this from you. I know because I have lived a long time in alot of pain and unhappiness. So, my prayer for you and Lily today is that a supernatural healing occurs in you and in her. I know that God can do this because he has done it for me. I love you so much and those babies are a true gift to this MeMe!!

How could you really have known--that feeling alone in the midst of believers is one of my hardest struggles, most difficult to heal pain? It's been a life-long journey, and it wasn't until I met people like you in this community that I began to feel loved by the body. Love you, friend.

Oh, I know I'm not supposed to carry this, but mamas tend to do what we really shouldn't, don't we? I suppose on the one hand, that's what makes us good at our job, and it's also what makes us run head-long into Jesus. Running, friend, head-long into him. *Thank you* for your faithful prayers, Ro.
