Out of the mouths of Babes
After sharing the news with our girls they reminded me that she is alive. Before I could argue They said but, mommy she is alive in heaven and all her owies are gone.
Precious reminder.
Thank you for your prayers

Heres to wishing I lived a whole heck of a lot closer. My arms would give you endless squeezes along with room for three lil squeezes. And a supply that over flows of nights tucking you in with the secret of "Geuss whats?" With all my love and many prayers your baby sis.

Oh Holland, I am so sorry. Thank you for letting us know even though it must have been hard just to even type that. Your girls are precious. Naomi here was adamant that your baby was not going to die and now that I have to break the news to them I am glad that your girls reminded me that she is alive in heaven so I can give our children that good news.
We will continue to pray that the peace which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus and the devil will not be given the opportunity to tempt you to despair and self-pity.
With all that we have been going through lately I am reminded how much God loves us in allowing hard times to come in that they break us and humble us and put us in a place of utter dependence on him. Each trial is another test of our faith. The Lord asks, "Do you still love me? Do you still trust me? Is your faith real?"
It's not fun but the results are so glorious if we keep our eyes fixed on the author and finisher of our faith.
Love you guys. You are precious. -

I didn't want to read your blog after reading the posts on Facebook. I didn't want to hear the words that she was gone. There's a big lump in my throat and tears. I don't know what it's like to physically lose a child, but I sure do know what it's like to spiritually lose one. How precious that your girls can comfort you and Geoffrey. We love and pray.
