Reading so many blogs of innocent children with struggles makes me struggle with my relationship with God sometimes. This post reminds me of so many good things about God and that He knows the bigger picture. I can't wait for Glory someday to see it all laid out.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547724637079231594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-69714366378027258922007-09-17T12:41:00.000-05:002007-09-17T12:41:00.000-05:00Whew.

Under his wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to His rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, THERE I find comfort and there I am blest. Under his wings who from His love can sever? Under his wings my soul shall abide, safely abide forever.<BR/>I am praying for you.<BR/>Linda ColeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-25609275491671935602007-09-15T20:48:00.000-05:002007-09-15T20:48:00.000-05:00Just stopping by to once again let you know that I...Just stopping by to once again let you know that I pray for you, Nathan and your family many times every day.<BR/><BR/>Nancy GrayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-73340230758542161182007-09-14T20:41:00.000-05:002007-09-14T20:41:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing your story..you are another ...Thank you for sharing your story..you are another name on our prayer list.

I am in a class at our church on Christian Evidences, and last week we were talking about how big God is and how he is beyond our comprehension. I remember thinking, "I am glad he is beyond my comprehension. I don't think I would want to serve a god that I could understand." Your faith inspires me. I know that Poppy will have an amazing impact on this world. Thank you for sharing your journey.Elizabeth Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713759792598487527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-73781291568761544222007-09-13T23:51:00.000-05:002007-09-13T23:51:00.000-05:00i've been so packed with getting things underway a...i've been so packed with getting things underway at school lately that i often forget to contact you guys, read the blog, pray for you, etc. but today in chapel, my housemate brandon preached on god in the midst of violence and unjust situations. "rachel is weeping for her children" was the text. after the sermon in a spoken prayer request time, i said your names aloud and asked for prayer. several people throughout the day today were concerned and voiced their love and support to me aloud. just want you to know that i, along with some fellow students here, are thinking of and praying for you as a community and as individuals. love you guys so much.color barshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088371693173474308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-77830121441912336822007-09-13T21:12:00.000-05:002007-09-13T21:12:00.000-05:00Angie and Nathan, we are praying for you and your ...Angie and Nathan, we are praying for you and your sweet family.

Thank You! I have just been struggling with these exact questions in my mind, even though I know the truth, I know it's not all for me to understand. I'm not God, He is and He knows what He is doing. But, there are moments throughout the day that it doesn't seem humanly "fair" to me. My husband and I have been reading those exact verses, and discussing them. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I'm a grieving mom who has just stumbled upon all you ladies with your babies, or cancer, etc. I have been so encouraged and have thought it interesting that even though our stories are not similar by way of our struggles we still can share so many of the same thoughts. Then today one of my best friends, who is pregnant, found out the doctor has some concerns with the most recent ultrasound. It still may be nothing, but right away all you ladies that I have been reading your blogs came to my mind. It's just hard, we so expect it all (life) to go like a bowl of cherries, and yet the hard things of this life only bring us to our knees and to see just how dependent we are and were designed to be. So thank you, your blog is the last I checked before I head of to bed, and it's just the encouragement I needed as my mind wanders to sleep. God bless, and I will continue to pray for your family.<BR/>Cindy Waldeck<BR/>www.logansrace.comCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282889598032349121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-66892069699687338932007-09-12T16:03:00.000-05:002007-09-12T16:03:00.000-05:00Angie, I am so glad that God is not fair or I coul...Angie, I am so glad that God is not fair or I could never hope for Heaven which I am only gifted with through His grace - amazing!<BR/><BR/>I know that your Papa is especially well pleased with his granddaughter today, on his birthday, seeing you grow, as Jesus did, "in wisdom... and favor with God and men."<BR/><BR/>The leaps of your faith are wondrous to see as you and Nathan walk through this time together. <BR/>I love you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-66341724953939108882007-09-12T12:53:00.000-05:002007-09-12T12:53:00.000-05:00Angie,I like what you said about God not being fai...Angie,<BR/><BR/>I like what you said about God not being fair, but He is so good!

They are usually taken back by me (a Christian) making that comment to them. But I respond after that, in saying that while our logic says that things God allows to happen seemingly are not fair,(and ultimately the fact that all of humanity deserves hell because of what Adam allowed to happen in the garden is not fair), it is ALSO NOT FAIR that God allowed us a way of escape through the shed blood of His son Jesus on the cross and His resurrection from the dead! That's why the amazing grace of God is so sweet! That's why I love Jesus sooooooo much. And that's why I also realized that my pea brain can't possibly understand why God allows certain tragedies to happen.........but then I come across this blog and read your testimony about this pregnancy and can see that God can and will use all things for His glory. He is using you right now. Your testimony of how Dr. Rodgers influenced you was wonderful! I also loved Dr. Rodgers very much and will always listen to his sermons to feed on. Your sweet spirit and acceptance of this pregnancy is very uplifting and helps put things in perspective for all of us that read your blog. God is using you tremendously and I thank you for your witness thru this hard time. I will be praying for you and your family! God bless you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
