Prayer Request

I got an e-mail a couple days ago from a friend that is on staff in Missouri. She has a two year old girl and Jen and I became friends with her and her husband over the summer before we left campus. It is kinda weird that we met and became friends because they had a loss in their family as well. She was 5 months pregnant with twins when there was complications and both little girls went to heaven. Interesting how God opens up doors to meeting people from what we went through.
Anyway...she passed on a prayer request:
A new student couple, Curtis and Lesley, were expecting a little boy in about a month, but then she stopped feeling movement and when she went into the hospital there was no heartbeat. So another little one has gone to heaven.
So hard to about stories like this, but I am glad at the same time. Now I can post it here for more saints to pray.

Dear Lord,
I want to lift up Curtis and Lesley right now. We know what "empty arms" feel like, but we also know what it feels like to get wrapped in your arms...I pray that you do that tonight for this couple. Help them as they try to be strong for their other two year old son, Josiah. Please, give them continued strength as the days go by. Thank you for all the many people around them comforting that as they go through this.
In you're name, Amen
