When I was going through my jaw pain and ordeal &#8211; it helped me through it &#8211; the lyrics fit into my life perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Right now &#8211; what we are experiencing &#8211; I can&#8217;t think of a better song to describe how I feel.<\/p>\n<p>I got the call from the doctor today &#8211; letting my know that my levels were indeed down by the thousands and that I would be having a miscarriage on it&#8217;s own or we will have to schedule surgery. Right now &#8211; I am waiting it out and waiting to hear back from the doctor&#8217;s office to make an appt. for next week.<\/p>\n<p>I am tired and sore and emotionally drained &#8211; writing COMFORT was such therapy for me &#8211; I needed to get out how I was feeling and why &#8211; there are still thoughts that run through my head &#8211; but I know the truth. I know the answers.<\/p>\n<p>I have always told Jared that I am ready for Jesus to come back ANYTIME &#8211; I just want to have a child first &#8211; selfish &#8211; I know. My friend Sara told me last night &#8211; you ARE a mother &#8211; and it hit me &#8211; that I am. I am a mother &#8211; and I have a child &#8211; he is resting in the arms of our Father and waiting to see us.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that BEAUTY FROM PAIN touches your heart with whatever struggle you are going through and know that God is listening. There are times when I am mad at God &#8211; I yell and I cry and I fight &#8211; I want to know why &#8211; and I keep hearing what my own parents would tell me &#8211; we know best &#8211; we are doing this because we love you &#8211; that didn&#8217;t stop me from throwing a little baby fit &#8211; but I know that I can express to God my anger and He is trying to get through &#8211; saying &#8211; but I know best &#8211; I love you &#8211; you will be okay. The relationship we have with God is REAL &#8211; it is full of real emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Again &#8211; I appreciate all the prayers and the love and the hugs and the tears &#8211; more than you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night Still the darkness surrounds me I know I&#8217;m alive but I feel like I&#8217;ve died And all that&#8217;s left is to accept that it&#8217;s over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made I try to keep [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3697"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3697\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bardenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
