Three months ago today, we walked into the doctor's office for a routine appointment and walked out with our lives forever changed. We never asked for or expected this to be our path in life, but here we are regardless. And oh how God has used this to grow me. He is my strength when all I had was weakness, my hope when all I saw was despair, my triumph when all I felt was failure.
And every single good thing that has come from this, has come from God. We did not overcome this, HE overcame this. We did not prevail, HE prevailed. We were not strong, HE was strong through us. He has taken a tragedy and used it for His good. He has strengthened our faith and our marriage. And that's not to say that it takes any of the pain or heartbreak away, because it doesn't. There are still days that I can't stop thinking about it and days where the tears win, but I don't think I could go through it if I didn't know that God could use it for His good.
So please know that whatever you are going through, good can come from it. God can restore and revitalize, renew and redeem. There is nothing that He cannot work for His good. He will be there and walk with you through everything. He can heal the brokenhearted.

I seriously appreciate all of the love and support that y'all have offered up to us over the last three months. I never expected blogging to help me through this, but it has, and that's because of y'all. So thank y'all for everything. And we are doing good these days. We are trusting in the Lord's ultimate plan and we know that it is a perfect plan. He is so good, y'all. I hope y'all know that. He is good.

You're in my prayers sweet friend! I love that you're letting God work in you during this time. I can't imagine going through it, but you're faith is amazing!
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you so much for your beautiful words of inspiration and support on my latest post.
I feel absolutely terrible that I somehow missed the news. I cannot tell you how sorry I am or how much I admire you for your strength in the Lord.
Right now my heart hurts for you and even as I type, tears come to my eyes especially because my own daughter is playing at my feet.
My soul however rejoices for you because you have the strongest faith and the most magnificent love in the Lord and that is something that few of us can experience no matter how hard we try.
I am praying for you and sending warm thoughts of love and peace your way.

Much love and God bless.

you're amazing Megan! :)
God is always so faithful & especially in the darkest hours. Much love to you :)
Thanks so much for these beyond amazing words of wisdom. He is all that we need!

He is walking with you, holding your hand each step of the way. Love to both of you today.
So sorry to hear this! Thanks for reminding us that we can learn from everything and get through anything too. I needed to read this post tonight...going through my own trial.
I was on an unintentional blogging hiatus around this time and missed that news. I am so sorry for your loss. He does have such a good and perfect time for things, even though we don't understand it.
Praying for you guys.
I love your honesty, vulnerability, and raw writing. You inspire me :) praying for you. Xo
Beautiful my love...{{Hugs}}!!
You're stronger than you realize and loved by so many people, know I still mean every word I said in the card I sent you. *hugs*
Your faith is inspiring to me! I love that you lean on God and your faith to get you through this and that it only makes you stronger.
Beautiful, Megan. Very inspiring to many, I'm sure of it.
God is never early and He's never late. His timing is always perfect. And His plan is always better than what we could plan for ourselves.
So beautiful. You are amazing and a true inspiration <3
He is good indeed. I love that you share your story with the world, truly inspirational. Continue to be strong.
I love you Megan!
Your posts are so heartfelt and inspiring! You are so strong.
The way you have shared your story and your faith has been amazing. There is that verse in the Bible when Joseph is talking to his brothers in the Old Testament after they figured out he was alive and he told them, "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good." I love the idea of that, even in the darkest, hardest places in our lives.
