"Not my will, but thine, be done." 

I had a beautiful thought while writing in my journal. 

Under the direction of God the Father, Jesus created all things. Therefor all things on this earth belong to our Heavenly Father. *well duh Ariel* 

So, Willow's body wasn't ever mine in the first place even though I was given the sacred privilege to grow it for her inside of me. But because it wasn't ever mine to begin with, Heavenly Father had all the power to do whatever he planned with it. It just so happens that in His plan she wasn't meant to live during this time on Earth with us so He took her body from us. I've been feeling like something of mine was ripped away from me, but that's not it. Her body was never mine. But now because of our (mine and Jon's) covenants as an eternal family her spirit will always be ours. We didn't lose our baby the day she went to Heaven, we gained a Heavenly Angel that will be with us for Eternity. What a gift we have been given! 👼🏼🌹♥️ @jonjw #trusinHim #familyisforever #angelbaby
