Juniper & Stetson’s story of Faith, Hope and Love

These last few days have been rough 😮‍💨

But I’m reminding myself of this verse 📖:

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” – Galatians 6:9

God sees the effort nobody else sees 👀. Even when it feels like nothing is moving, He’s still working behind the scenes 🌅.

And then there’s Stetson looking at me with those eyes 🥹 — such a good reminder that God is still good, still faithful, and still providing through the little things 👣❤️

I’m choosing to trust His timing ⏳, keep my hands to the plow, and not give up 🙏

If you’re in this same season, I’m praying for you too 🤍
We will reap in due season 🌱✨

Happy Premiee Recognition Month 😊🎉

Followup update to this mornings post:

Stephanie Beasley 💕 and Stetson 💗 are at a stage where things can change quickly; they have throughout the day. However, they both keep overcoming some very stressful moments every few hours that involve nurses and doctors rushing in.

Stephanie 💕 and I have not had much sleep the last 2 days; however, we are handling the stress very well.

The harsh conditions for Stephanie💕 are especially hard. She is hooked up to constant monitoring while bed-bound. She received her second shot of steroids today. This will help in lung development for Stetson 💗.

Stetson 💗 keeps decelerating and/or moving off monitors, he is a very active baby. This can be very stressful at times. Quick decisions must be made by the care team of doctors and nurses during these moments; however, by the grace of God, he continues to recover in time and seems to otherwise be doing great.

Stephanie’s 💕 nurses have been exceptional the last 2 days. And even though we are operating in unknown territory, one thing we all know is that the prognosis continues to look brighter each day that Stetson💗 is in utero.

We continue to have hope in our prayers that we will get to 26 weeks then on to 27 weeks and then on to 28 weeks.

We continue to praise God and we are taking each hour as 1 more hour of miraculous victory.

Thank you for your support. We appreciate everyone.

Stetson💗 25W 3D Gestation
Stephanie💕 7W 2D Hospital Bed-Bound

Stetson 💗 had a deceleration that was pretty intense early this morning. The nurse couldn’t find a heartbeat for several minutes. They then helped flip Stephanie 💕over several times and eventually were able to get her 💗 positioned so that his heart began beating again. Please pray for Stetson’s💗 health and to make it to at least 26 weeks gestation.

Stephanie 💕 is being monitored 24 hours a day and can’t have any food or water. They have her on an IV to help hydrate her. If she continues to have complications, she will go in for an emergency c-section. Please pray for Stephanie 💕 to stay strong and to have peace and comfort.

Thank you for your continued prayers, support and love. Thank you.

Juniper💖 Stillborn March 28, 2023

Juniper’s💖 Funeral and Rite of Burial will be sometime after the birth of Stetson 💗 so that Stephanie 💖 can be there.

Stetson 💗 and Stephanie 💕 continue to do well.

Prayer, faith, hope and love continue to do what man said can’t be done. Thank you for all your prayers and support during this time.

In my reflections yesterday, I remembered a poem I wrote when I was in elementary school that I always remembered called “Hope Lost”

“Where did the Hope go that I crave?

Did it fly away? Or disappear in the endless night for lost?

I cry that I will see you light, to guide me through the wonders of the gloomy dusk.

So that I, I may see the gateway to dawn.”

I wrote this poem before I found faith. In the first chapter of John, John writes about the light of all mankind. And in John 1:5 it is written that “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

So yesterday, I decided to write another poem to describe how even in my darkest moments, I have found that light pierces through when I choose faith, hope and love over fear, anger and doubt.

Light in the Night
By me

When darkness falls and shadows creep,
And fear and doubt begin to seep,
Into my heart, into my soul,
I feel as if I've lost control.

But then I see a glimmering light,
A ray of hope that shines so bright,
It pierces through the darkest night,
And fills my heart with pure delight.

It tells me that I'm not alone,
That love and peace will lead me home,
And in the midst of all my fears,
There's hope that wipes away my tears.

For even in the darkest hour,
The power of light exerts its power,
And lifts me up on wings of grace,
To a better, brighter, happier place.

So when the night is long and cold,
And my spirit feels weak and old,
I'll look to the light that shines so bright,
And find the light that guides me right.

Thank you for your continued prayers. Prayer works. God is in control.

Stephanie Beasley 💕, who is the neighborhood crossing guard at Desert Shadows Elementary School in Phoenix, AZ and who also works at the middle school with special needs students was admitted to HonorHealth Shea hospital on March 4, 2023. She has now been there 43 days and will be there most likely thru mid August.

She was pregnant with twins, Juniper 💖 and Stetson and was bleeding from complications with her twin pregnancy and was admitted to the hospital initially with a 0% chance that the twins would survive. God knew different.

👼 Juniper 💖 was stillborn on March 28th at around 4:30 pm, but she lived an additional 3 weeks in utero and we were able to spend time with her and say goodbye after she was born. We are thankful that our fight for her 💖 gave her three more weeks of life in the womb. Juniper's 💖original prognosis was much worse. During that time, we experienced such joy and happiness as we felt Juniper 💖moving and stretching herself out.

Stephanie shows no signs of infection but is completely bed-bound. After giving birth to Juniper 💖, her cervix dilated. Stephanie 💕has a long recovery ahead of her, for each day she is bed-bound, she will need 3 days of therapy to relearn to walk and recover.

Stetson 💗has a strong heartbeat. His amniotic sac is intact, Stetson 💗continues to beat all odds and each day is a victory. Last night, the ultrasound showed Stetson 💗moving and being very active. Stetson has now passed 24 weeks gestation and his prognosis and chance of survival is very good and getting better each day. He is a true miracle.

Our faith is unwavering, and we trust God's plan for us. We have found a place for Juniper 💖. We plan to bury her and have a service honoring her.

We have mounting medical, living, funeral and burial costs that are growing daily and we will have mounting costs when Stetson 💗 is born with Stephanie’s 💕 recovery and Stetson’s 💕 care.

We are reaching out because we need help and humbly ask for your consideration in contributing to our GoFundMe page. We update it regularly and you can read through the page to find some additional difficulties we are facing in our decisions that we are currently facing.

We are truly grateful for your support and consideration.

Thank you.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14

Heart of Gold
By Jeff Beasley

A heart of gold, a treasure untold,
Shining bright, in a world so cold,
A rare gem, a beauty to behold,
A precious gift, worth more than gold.

It beats with love, it feels with grace,
It forgives with ease, without a trace,
It knows no bounds, it has no race,
It is a symbol, of humanity's best face.

It lifts us up, it gives us hope,
It helps us cope, it helps us grow,
It fills our lives, it helps us know,
That in this world, love can still flow.

It shines through trials, it shines through pain,
It shines through sorrow, it shines through rain,
A heart of gold will shine through the ill,
And rise above the darkness with its will.

So hold it close, and hold it dear,
For a heart of gold, is always near,
It brings us light, it brings us cheer,
And fills our lives, with love so clear.

💖💗💖 — At Scottsdale Shea Hospital
