And that's how it all started...

Swine Flu.... and this is how it all started.

Just a small disclaimer... No, that is not my child... :)

Heavy Heart

I wish my first post after being gone so long wasn't such a sad one, but unfortunately it is... I'm sitting here with a heavy heart as I try to wind down to sleep. I am broken hearted for our good friends Katie and Whit who have to bury their 2 day only baby girl Lilly Claire tomorrow. I know they are finally home tonight (Thank You Father!) but without their angel and it breaks my heart for them. And tomorrow they have to do the unthinkable... bury their child. How you do that I don't know...

Abba Father please carry Whit and Katie tomorrow. Comfort them in a way that only you can do. I claim Phil 4:7 as I pray for them, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Please fill them with the peace that passes all understanding.

Father God, I also thank you because I KNOW that YOU and ONLY YOU are in control of every situation of our lives, even the most difficult ones. I know that you have a plan and a purpose for us, just like my favorite verse (and Katie's) says, "For, I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a HOPE and future." Jeremiah 29:11.

I am at a loss, but thankfully you are not. You know what they need, please meet them there.

I love you Father, thank you.
