This post may be short.  I'm thinking of it as kind of an ice breaker after an unspeakable week.  I don't have anything profound or great to say, but just need to say something, so that I can continue to post about how the Lord is at work in my life.
Last Monday we found out that we lost the baby I was carrying and had to have a DNC.  We were and continue to be heartbroken.  I believe our God is a God of the covenant and that the life he began in my womb, he now holds in his hands.  I trust our baby lives in a love that is far greater than mine and I long for the day I will meet him/her.
The night before we found out, I was looking at baby names and a few stuck out to me that had never done so before.  One of them was Ashlynn.  I didn't really like the meaning at the time so I moved on from it.  However now I think it is fitting.  We have decided to send our little one home with the name Ashlynn Haven which means "Dream or Vision" and "Safe Place or Sanctuary".  He/she causes me to dream of heaven with a deeper longing for God's love in all it's fullness.
