Soli Deo Gloria

These last few weeks have been full of ups and downs. Full of praising God and relying solely on His grace and strength.

Two weeks ago we found out I was pregnant, again, this would make #4. We just found out yesterday though that it will not end in the way we had been hoped. Once again my body is failing me. And I don't know why.

As frustrating as this is I just keep thinking....God is doing something. God is at work. He is on the move. I am not left hopeless instead I look to him anxiously to see what great thing He is going to do through all of this.

As I left the doctors office on Monday I just kept thinking Soli Deo Gloria, Soli Deo Gloria I heard it in a sermon once and have never forgotten it. It is Latin for to God alone be the glory. And I know that He will be glorified through this!

I am coveting your prayers friends and encouraging words.

My flesh and heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26
