Our dear friends, Jason and Vanessa, welcomed and said goodbye to their precious twin baby girls this evening. For those of you who don't know the story, go check out their blog, Good Times Delgado Style. When Vanessa was approximately 20 weeks along in her pregnancy, they found out she was carrying conjoined twin girls. The girls shared a heart and a liver. Jason and Vanessa have been an AMAZING witness of the Lord through this entire journey. The outpour of support they have received and will continue to receive in the upcoming days to follow is a testament of God's love. Madison Hope and Melody Joy were born via c-section around 6:25 p.m. on Nov. 11, 2008. And they passed into Heaven a little after 7 p.m.
Tonight, as I held those precious baby girls who were no longer living on this earth, I was amazed at God's creations. Amazed at these perfect baby girls who were blessed to have such a loving family. I am in awe of God's sovereignty and am reminded of King David who pleaded before the Lord without ceasing to save his infant son from death. When the infant passed away, David rose up from the floor, cleaned himself off, and went into the house of the Lord and worshipped. (2 Samuel 12: 16-23) David continued to give praise to the Lord. Even though God had not given David the answer he had hoped for, the Lord had answered him nonetheless by taking the child to be with Him. God's answer may not always be what we want to hear, but He is faithful and He is Sovereign. He is our great Comforter and Healer. I find comfort in knowing that Melody and Madison are in the arms of Jesus and wait for their family and for the family in Christ to one day join them as we worship our Heavenly Father. They have forever touched my life...
A song that kept coming to mind throughout the afternoon and evening was this...
God is so good
God is so good
God is so good
He's so good to me
He answers prayer
He answers prayer
He answers prayer
He's so good to me
God is so good. I will praise Him at ALL times. His praise shall continually be on my lips. In all things, I will give thanks unto the Lord.
Thank you, Lord, for Melody and Madison. The love we have for them can't even compare to how much you love them... May Your comfort and peace envelope and surround Jason, Vanessa, Destiny, and all their families and loved ones...
In the words of our friends, the Delgados...to God be the glory. Amen.
