Grieving the loss of your baby to stillbirth or miscarriage can be lonely and agonizing.
As most of you know, our family has experienced both: I’ve had 5 miscarriages, 2 of our daughters and one daughter-in-law have had miscarriages and our first grandson was stillborn, so we are no strangers to the overwhelming sorrow, loneliness, and fears that come with this kind of loss.
Today I am praying that this episode can bring hope to those who have experienced this or know someone who has as Jackie Gibson tells her story and the biblical truths that she gleaned from her journey through the deep loss of her daughter, Leila.

The Story of Isaac (3 episodes)
Song: Sometimes He Calms the Storm performed by Scott Krippayne
Lyrics:
All who sail the sea of faith
Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered peace be still
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child
He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we're shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place

Do you find it challenging to parent your special needs child? Do you find yourself confused about how to discipline him or her since it seems that they need to be handled differently than your other children?
Are we as parents so distracted with our kids’ weaknesses and needs that we forget what God has called us to when it comes to biblical parenting?
(This episode is a great reminder whether you have special needs kids or not.)

Do you ask your kids lots of questions? This is one of the best things I did with our kids as we raised and homeschooled them.
We have an unusual opportunity to really know our kids and gather important information that can help us guide, direct, teach, and encourage them.
In today’s episode, we will be drilling down on both the importance of asking questions and ways to do that.
