Tomorrow will mark 12 years that have gone by since my Sarah was born. This is first year of what I hope to make a tradition in my house - the "Sarah cake". I was trying to explain to Ben a couple days ago that this is NOT a birthday cake to remember the day that Sarah was born - that is much too sad of a thing for me to remember. This cake doesn't really celebrate anything but God's goodness. The time in my life that I conceived and carried Sarah was very hard but at my lowest God met me and ushered me into a new relationship with Him. He held my hand and sometimes "carried" me; He showed me His love in ways that I can't fully explain in words. This cake is the start of my attempt to share with my family that God can use seemingly insurmountable situations and change them into times of love, grace, peace, understanding.... God is good!!PS - If you find yourself laughing at my pitiful cake, that's okay. I did too!

God is good. I'm so sorry for what happened with Sarah, and so glad that it brought you to us. You are a wonderful mother, Melissa.

I can't imagine what losing Sarah would be like, but like My Mom so eloguently said, I'm so glad that it brought you into our family. I love the cake idea and hope that it brings you joy every year! Oh, and the cake looks WAY better than what I would be able to do. How do people write with frosting?? I don't get it...
Yes, God is Good! Praise God for your story and the journey you have been on. Thank you for sharing this with us too.
