As a mom to 2 babies who died before birth, I have to believe they're safe in the arms of Jesus. It's what gets me through.

Sometimes my greatest belief-tester is that which gives me ultimate peace in my heart. I just have complete peace that my babies are in heaven.

Well, I can't have anymore kids so it is a moot point in some ways for us--- but I still get all flustered when I think about it....I'd love to have a large family but alas, we can't. I like Tim Challies, but a few months back when he made the statement that miscarried/stillborn babies don't go to heaven, I quit reading him.
