"She's not answering my calls or messages. Is something wrong?" I asked.
I didn't expect the answer. Her mom's face fell and she told us what happened to Nette --
"She got married a couple of months ago."
Ha?
"She gave birth to her baby a month ago."
What?!
pause.
"She lost her baby a week after she gave birth."
We were standing there with our mouths gaping. And then what she said hit us hard. We started crying. It didn't even matter that Nette did not inform us that she got married or that she was pregnant or that she lost her baby -- all of those things didn't matter. What mattered was that she was hurting and we couldn't do anything for her.
The next time I saw Nette was when she went home for my wedding. It was only then that she opened up about everything; and she told me that she couldn't bring herself to go to Church because she was mad at God.
She said, "They say that God has his purpose. I don't understand why he had to take away my baby." I still remember how her face looked when she said this.
That was two years ago.
Now, Nette has Nathania Lexie -- my goddaughter. Life is beautiful.

Off topic :) anoter tag for you up at Earthly Explorations! :) Hope you had an awesome mother's day!
I really believe that " All things work together for good, to those who love God". And nothin happens without a reason. I am really longing for a child, but until now , God haven't give that child yet. But I know in His time He is going to bless me one.
Children are truly a blessing from God .
This got me thinking...It is a beautiful story.I can understand how Nette felt, I was also mad at Him at some point in my life...
Nathania Lexie is such a beautiful baby.
