It's not a logical thing, it's something beyond logic and reason that you're experiencing like you said, "not as the world giveth, give I unto you" You are my daily dose of inspiration.

Something to comfort, help, or even just to let you know how much I respect you. Nothing compares to the words you write. You are so brillant w/your thoughts and portraying them on your blog. I'm a LDS mother of 3, living in Idaho. My youngest was born 4/29/07 and I try putting myself in your shoes, if I were to lose him. Words can't even express my thoughts. You have helped me tremendously w/my own children in realizing everyday, to just enjoy & not get worked up about the little things. I also serve in YW and I have brought your examples & teachings into my lessons. One was on "Eternal Perspective" which was a perfect lesson on your feelings of Camille and your perspective on life. I don't think their was a dry eye in sight. I want you to know their is a group of us here in Idaho that love to reflect on your words and we think you & Camille are doing a fabulous job as missionaries. Thank you so much for sharing your life w/us. We love you & are praying for you today & always.<BR/>Love, NatalieNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948150432760744708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-32366138498045954792008-07-25T11:01:00.000-07:002008-07-25T11:01:00.000-07:00Stephanie, I have been reading your blog for quite...Stephanie,<BR/> I have been reading your blog for quite some time now, I found you through the Hoskins blog. I know you get many comments like this, so I was just going to read, but I wanted to relay an experience I had yesterday. I read you blog as usual yesterday, but in it you referred to your friend Brittany's blog, who lost her baby the same week you did. I read her sad story, wept for her as I do you and reveled in the strength you both have. Later that day I went to my moms and laid my one year old down for a nap, and went to leave the room. As I turned to leave I noticed the curtain cord dangling in her crib. I tear up thinking about it because as a mother of four I'll admit I don't usually look for things like that when I lay them down. Because of you and Brittany my babies life may have been saved yesterday. Heavenly Father works in wonderful ways, and yesterday he took me to your blog and in turn Brittany's and I was a more cautious mom. Thank you for that and for making me want to be a better person everyday, so that if heaven forbid I ever did have a tragedy like yours I would trust in my Heavenly Fathers plan the way you do. I truly admire you as a woman and a mother.<BR/>Thank You<BR/>Alissa Allenallen6https://www.blogger.com/profile/09852765165121077184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-52822444864140497272008-07-25T09:57:00.000-07:002008-07-25T09:57:00.000-07:00Stephanie, thank you so much for posting this.

I know it's in the Lord's hands and in His time. It's hard though, when we don't know what that plan is. I really appreciated your words, because I felt a small portion of how you were feeling. I wanted to give up when I found out I wasn't pregnant. I wanted to quit right then and there, because emotionally it's too hard. Today, Friday, I am doing much better. I have a brighter hope that maybe someday we will be parents. I have also felt the peace from the Lord that you mentioned. I love the scipture you quoted. While I was reading my scriptures on Wednesday, I read about the atonement and it gave me great peace to know that our Savior suffered the pains I was feeling that day, and I know He suffered the pains you feel everyday at the loss of your sweet baby girl. I think in some ways, He still suffers with us as He watches us try and endure the pain and heartache that life brings. I pray for you and your family and hope the pain will continue to subside. You are such an inspiration to me. I love reading your blog each day, it makes me happy and grateful for all I have.

My friend is friends with one of your sisters in law (I believe). I just wanted you to know that I have been forever changed by your story, your testimony, and your strength. You have truly inspired me to be a better mom and my testimony of the gospel has been strengthened. I hold onto my children a little tighter, watch them a little closer, and try to exercise more patience when dealing with the everyday challenges (I have a 3 year old and 18 month old twins). My favorite post so far is the junior companion post. I LOVE that description of your relationship with your sweet little angel and I definitely believe it is true. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and testimony with all us "blog stalkers." You are truly a missionary and I believe she is right there with you. I think about you and your family everyday and I pray the Lord will grant you peace and comfort each day.<BR/>Love Tanya<BR/>jorgensonclan.blogspot.comTanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208245568713685074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-51555981605052157382008-07-24T22:25:00.000-07:002008-07-24T22:25:00.000-07:00We sang Come, Come, Ye Saints as the intermediate ...We sang Come, Come, Ye Saints as the intermediate hymn on Sunday and all I could do was think of you.
