Hi Mary

   My oh my it has been a while. How are you. i HOPE LIFE IS TREATING YOU GOOD. Thanks so much for stopping be and offere=ing your support for our little friend Elizabeth. She really needs our prayers.

 

Mr. Bill, and All, I remember you well Bill from the past though you may not know me. I never forgot you by words you have written in past. Oh boy, I know this is beyond intense! May I ask, who is Lisa to you? Daughter or something? I remember her too. I know so well that "fight" is the only answer there is or will ever be for Mom and Dad. It would be so for me and most; we'd live only to fight for our child. Tradgedy? Don't stone me, but there is another perspective that we cannot and will not hardly see on this side. God knows this little girl and "has not" overlooked or forgotten her. If he knows and cares for the lilies of the field you can bet your life he, even now, holds this child in the palm of his hand. And many will ask well then...Why! I don't know, but I remember real life stories of children who were in her shoes, who claim they saw Jesus, and "they" comforted their Mommy who was trying to comfort them. Sometimes in this life we are called on to endure some impossible it seems pains and burdens, and they may be specifically ours or they may be our families or friends, but we all have our place in sharing the burden and in being a part of the comfort, and we do all suffer in this with the share that's been dealt to us. Let's keep faith in God without waivering or surrendering...if we must be called on to share in his suffering, then let us with immovable trust that even if we make our bed in hell, he is surely with not only us, but the precious child... And there is not doubt in heaven or hell that this child is God's and is in his hand and that he loves her with an everlasting love and that her soul is eternally protected in his tender care, and reserved in heaven. And with all the strength we can find, let us surrender to God's will, without even knowing what it is, let us trust him enough to surrender... And it's in surrender Bill ( and I bet you know it), that God's hand really moves. Let him have his way, and trust him for his way; he can be trusted! It's a hard thing to do sometimes but it's where victory is. I have seen with my own eyes my husband miraculously healed, and I'm not kidding or exaggerating; I have seen him "see" the Lord walk into his presence literally and I saw him healed from a dying condition... So I tell you, he can do it! After seeing it myself, I know how "easily" he can do it! And you bet ...it changed my faith forever! I believe now what was before hard to believe. So with this, We can know that He is not hard of seeing or hearing. He knows! Yes he does. The biggest thing we can find the strength to do in times like this...is to "lose" our own strength and somehow in our dying God brings life. There's no explaining it in mortal terms. Heaven is so Real...so much more Real than any of us can possibly perceive, so while we do suffer here, there's are no tradgedies in heaven or with those who go there. This baby will never die; she is God's. We can and will pray that God will let us keep her here with us, and we can and will support the family in the ways that they need and ask... And we can and will pray that God give them supernatural strength and peace, and he will. love Kim

Oh I see now. I read the beginning of this forum back in '07' Oh my, it's been almost 2 years.

Hi Kim

   I remember you very well. It has been a while since we have spoken. Your words are very inspiring. In fact, after reading them I have come to a desion that i have labored over for weeks now. I was going to do something that would take ALLY OUT OF THE KIDS LIVES AND MINE FOR A LONG TIME. I can' say what it is I was going to do but I have changed my mind. The burden I bear is all mine unless I turn it over to God. that is my next move instead of doing something that would make things even worse. I still love Ally and God knows I love those children. There just has to be a better way.

_{Hey Bill, im reading every word and i know everyone else is too.}

_{To have you say what you decided after reading sister Kim's post i personally think is the best way, what ever happens, those kids need to know that they are loved.}

_{God loves you no matter what but its up to you to love him back. "}

_{Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7.} 

_{My favorite passages, along with many others in that same chapter.}

_{I'm with you buddy, make sure those kids know that there loved :)}

_{God_bless you my dear friend.}
