We know there aren&#39;t words, but wanted you to know you guys are in our family prayers. We join with you guys to choose hope and life...it doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s easy, unfortunately we understand that, but we chose hope and found peace...and though our arms were emptied God quite literally filled us with hope and a peace we never imagined possible.

If you could, please update us about how Madison is dealing with all of this. I would like to pray specifically for her needs. Gavin is heading toward the arms of Christ. It sucks and is awesome all at the same time. Madison&#39;s healing will not be so quick, though, and I will be spending extra time on prayers for her.Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910586890004736444.post-36008074962921643082009-10-24T19:27:39.926-07:002009-10-24T19:27:39.926-07:00i pray that the Lord will give you your miracle in whatever form He sees fit. i pray for your tough little fella and pray that the Lord gives his little body peace. i pray for maddie to feel the love from you and your husband. may she feel comforted by the King. may the Lord bless you and your family a thousand fold. may you never feel as if He has left or forsaken you (even in your darkest hour, whatever that may be). i pray for you, mama. i pray for strenghth and wisdom and peace and joy (even in the midst of all of this). i pray for joy unspeakable...and the kind of hope that can only come from Him. hang in there, mama. you have lots of warriors in Christ who are covering you and yours in prayer...mandiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154958780786452012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910586890004736444.post-29232435836191014862009-10-24T19:27:39.216-07:002009-10-24T19:27:39.216-07:00Just catching up and wow.

Thank you for sharing your story here and encouraging others in the midst of your struggle. I am praying that God will strengthen you and give you peace while he comforts Gavin during this difficult time. I am reminded of the serenity prayer...God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

Good job Momma. I was waiting for the words you posted today. I knew you would find this hope &amp; love in this day. You did before, but it is different now. Very proud &amp; I hope you can feel the fullness of your heart too. If not yet, it will come. I promise.
