I have had one of those evenings when I yelled at the kids to JUST GO TO BED...we fight every night with bedtime. Thank you for reminding me to be thankful I am able to argue with them to go to bed.

Even us old people never stop growing. We all need these reminders from time to time. God is using you & your situation to encourage others. He will have the glory throughout Poppy's life! You & Nathan are amazing young people & I feel so blessed to know you & be able to read these blogs & walk through this journey with you. What an honor it is as well to pray for you & your family everyday. Let us never forget to treasure each & everyday that God gives us & use it to bring honor & glory to Him.

I've been so blessed as I've read each thought you and Nathan have shared with us, but have never responded-- finding myself short of words but deep with emotions. I can't go without saying that this message was so exhorting and inspiring! I'm so proud of you and Nathan- so honored to know you. You spoke Truth amist your honest humanity and that is always such a beautiful revelation of God's work in our lives. Poppy is such a gift- "a privilege"- which I know you and Nathan grasp more than any of us. Thank you for your example- Praise to our sweet, Sovereign Savior for His faithfulness in your lives! For He alone is capable of giving us "Saturdays".Adam & Amy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618026019757225328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-55221693354935592622007-09-17T07:59:00.000-05:002007-09-17T07:59:00.000-05:00Dear Angel,I praise God for you every day, .

I am so grateful to see God walk you and Nathan through this dark valley with " Joy thru your teardrops."<BR/>Yes, there will be good along the way mixed with the bad. I am so glad that God has enabled you to not miss out on the good.<BR/>Do you remember watching the Court Jester with Papa and Grammy? During unbearable sorrow, there we all were laughing so hard that it almost hurt. <BR/>Now I understand even more a little bit of what Papa and Grammy felt for us when we went thru our time of crisis. It hurts like crazy to see your child go thru such suffering and to be helpless to do anything to stop it. Yet, I know that it gave our Papa and Grammy much joy to see us laughing and still enjoying life.<BR/>It brings my heart great joy to know that you are going to be okay,to see you trusting God, to know that you're hurting like crazy yet still holding on to HIm with Bulldog like tenacity.<BR/>Even more comforting is to know that God is holding on to you and Nathan and Poppy Joy and sweet Marianna with His Bulldog grip, and He can never let you go.

I will continue to pray for you as you go through this situation that I can't even imagine. I only hope that in the future, I can face trials that come my way with the strength and faith that you have shown me.

What a wonder she is, being formed by God. I think it pleases Him that you are able to enjoy life right now as He keeps His eye on Poppy Joy. "Not letting the shadow of the future dim the brightness of the day," what a blessing to feel this way. Your open heart and the changes taking place are a miracle taking place right now for you. Hating what is happening and gratitude for wisdom, well that is evidence of God holding your heart.<BR/>My prayers will continue daily as I check in on you and look forward to the miracle of Poppy Joys birth. <BR/>Love, Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-30373569105257156592007-09-16T13:30:00.000-05:002007-09-16T13:30:00.000-05:00Angie, what a great message! yesterday was a grea...Angie, what a great message! yesterday was a great day for us, too! We loved watching college Game Day on ESPN and enjoyed taking the girls to the park - the weather was beautiful here!<BR/><BR/>but yesterday morning, I spent a good deal of time reading through your blog - as I do frequently - and reading new responses by your readers and then going to their blogs to also read what others are going through. I actually called you guys yesterday morning - didn't get in touch - to thank you for being so open and honest w/ your words and for leading me to pray for many other families, who (or whom?) I have never met, but who have touched me through their own words.<BR/><BR/>I have truly been comforted over the past weeks by the power of prayer. and so yesterday, though my day started w/ tears, it ended in happiness - in a way, just like yours. though the hurt never left, I felt a sense of peace. God is good.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929944626340792954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-66605031243386921252007-09-16T09:27:00.000-05:002007-09-16T09:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reminder about how beautiful this l...Thanks for the reminder about how beautiful this life really is. Sometimes I get bogged down in my everyday frustrations and annoyances and forget to raise my head and look around, or look up. May God give you this peace every day, all over again.Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.com
