A few days ago, I got a package in the mail from one of my sweet blog friends, Fran.

I have gotten several packages/cards from blog friends in the last month since I wrote about our miscarriage, and each one has really blessed me and encouraged me. In her card, Fran wrote some of the most precious words to me and I just started crying, thinking about how all of these friendships have come about through blogging.
When I started blogging two years ago, I had no idea what would come from it. I really was just doing it to have a type of "diary" where I could document our engagement and the wedding planning process. I never thought it would grow to become a passion and a source of friendship.
Even though I didn't know what I would gain from blogging, I know that God did. He knew when I started my blog two years ago that I would go through this miscarriage and that I would need y'all to help me get through it. He knew that I would get love and support from y'all. It's really mind-blowing if you start to think about it in depth.
Everything that happens in this life, God knows about beforehand. He is never surprised, never shocked, never unprepared. In fact, He is always prepared and has already set things up to help us get through whatever life has thrown our way.
I feel like I can't really get my thoughts out clearly today, but I just wanted to basically say: trust in the Lord and thank y'all. So much. I appreciate every comment, every email and every card/package.

You are too sweet! and you are obviously very loved by all of your blogger friends! I think I can speak for everyone when I say that I'm here for you whenever and whatever you need.
Love you!
Blogging is so much more than just a diary isn't it?
Glad you are finding peace & comfort. Sending much love and continued prayers your way!
Blog friends are the best:) I've had so many positive experiences that I never expected. Hope you are smiling, my dear!
Beautiful(:
That package just looks lovely!! I'm so glad to hear you've had a wonderful support system through all of this :) I, too, was humbled by the generosity, packages, and cards that I received from bloggers after my mom's death. This is such an amazing community.
I also loved what you said about how God is prepared for everything that happens and He sets things up to help us through the difficult times. That is SO true and so beautiful :) Still praying for you, my friend! You are one strong woman! xoxo
God really is amazing, isn't He?! When I think back on certain situations in my life that have happened where I may have questioned it at the time, I fully understand now what God's intent was. Everything happens for a reason! I believe that certain people are sent to be in our lives to help us become closer to Him as well.
I love this blog family because everyone is so supportive and here for each other! :)
Megan God knew someone would need this post. Thank you so much for sharing. Love you!
So sweet! Blogging opens up so many possibilities for lifelong friendships, it's such a neat thing. Glad to have you as a blogging friend! :)
How sweet! I love that she sent you Nutella! I just made Nutella rice krispies and they were seriously gone by the next day!!!
i love you.
thats all.
i cant wait until we meet up one day.
I totally get what you mean about not expecting to make friends from blogging. It's an interesting relatinship since we come into it so use to forming face to face connection but end up making very close bonds regardless.
Oh my gosh, how sweet! The blog world amazes me. I love this community.
I love this! Blogging has became so much more than just an online diary for me too!!! I don't know what I would do without it now! I'm so glad everyone is helping you through such a rough time!
xo
:)
this makes my heart happy!
That was super sweet of her!
Your thoughts make perfect sense to me, and I agree with you 100%. :) I'm glad God has provided the support you need to get through this difficult time.
Megan, i've been thinking of you sweet girl. you and your family are in my prayers.
those cups are too cute.
hope you're having a good week.
Megan-
If I could reach out through the screen and give you a bear hug, I would. But alas... all I have to offer are my thoughts, my sympathy, and well wishes. Just know that it will get better, and you and your hub will learn things about yourself through this that you would never have otherwise learned. Stay strong, girlfriend! Thinking about you!
PS- That Sugar Blossom candle will cure all that ails you. It's amazing... and you will be addicted.
Meg ;)
You are so right. It is awesome that you are allowing your heart to stay open for all that God has to show you and teach you through this experience...and that you are sharing it with others. We are all blessed to "know" you! :)
I so agree that God truly does know. And sometimes it takes me until after going through something, to realize His plan in all of it. But I smile after, knowing that His plans are good and right for me and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Trust in the Lord. Oh, how it has been a struggle. Thanks for the reminder, Meg.
I am so glad that you have been comforted through blogging during this time in your life. I pray for you and think about you often!
I'm so glad you have blogging as an outlet and you receive such amazing support. I'm new to blogging and am so impressed by the number of kind people out there. You're so right that God has a plan for us even when we don't understand. It always works out best for us. He knows.
I have loved sharing life with everyone in this sweet community - it really is what keeps me blogging even when I'm tempted to shut it all down. I love reading your blog and hearing you share your sweet spirit. You really are a blessing to all of us.

That is so sweet of so many of your readers. I pray God is continuing to bring healing to you and your husband.
I love this so much. I completely agree- God leads us to do certain things for very specific reasons and everyone that comes into our life is there for a reason as well! So glad you have been able to get some comfort from blogging!
Such a beautiful post. And that is such a beautiful care package! I'm so glad that God has provided you with a strong support system, He is so amazing. And so is Blogland, I feel so blessed to be apart of it :)
Hugs.

I love you to pieces and just love all the positive things that blogging has given you. It's crazy how things work ya know. The Lord is just always one step ahead. Always knowing what we need. You never stop inspiring me Megan! Btw, everytime I say your name it's kind crazy because I worked with a Megan Mackey. haha. Crazy stuff :)
This is so sweet, meg!!! One thing I'm learning more and more to be grateful for:: His Sovereignty. He KNOWS. It's so profound!!!!! Ahhhhh, I love you..and JCM.. Always.
See, that's what I love. When we can sit back and see just how much God is working in our lives. Waaaaay before we even realize it.
I'm so glad you're blogging and you have all these wonderful ladies reaching out to you, when you need it most. He's so darn cool to help us like that.

I totally agree with you. The friendships I have gained from this community of lovely, creative, smart, and encouraging writers is priceless. I feel like i have made some great connections, and I am so thankful.
I am so glad that you are feeling the support of the people who love reading your blog. You deserve all the love - :)
*virtual hug* :)
yes yes yes! God can use blogging in a big way! I love it:-) xoxo
God is so perfect in every way. It's so great to see all His plans unfold. What makes it even greater though is that half the time you never saw it coming!!
The diary, the friendships, the comfort we get from blogging is amazing!! But think of all yhe missionary opportunities you have as well! Your faith in God is amazing! One could lose faith and be so angry at the Lord because of losing your sweet baby. But you lean on him more than ever. You're inspiring!
Love you Meg!
