By the way, I sympathize with you immensely about people giving pat Christianize responses to a situation that really hurts. With that in mind I must say that I have cried along with you as I have read all of your family's posts and yes, there truly is an incredible amount of trust and peace in the midst of this storm.<br /><br />Many people say that "there is a reason for everything" as though all of our experiences in this world are designed especially for us by God himself. I believe that this sounds much better when said aloud than when encountered in real life. Does it strike you as odd that God should love us so much and so greatly desire to be with us that he should send us pain and hardships so that we might be driven into his arms? When humans display such behavior we consider them schizophrenic and in need of mental help.<br /><br />The Bible is very clear from beginning to end that we live in the midst of a war between God and evil. Such a reality is this war that when we look around us we see the effects of war: physical and spiritual and emotional and mental hardships and maladies. Yet we stand against the forces of darkness and trust in God alone to bring about a finality. . .a justice. . .a healing to all of this.<br /><br />It is o.k. to hurt, to cry, to be angry. I have joined you in these emotions many times as I have read through your accounts on this site. Our hope is not in the knowledge that God is behind all of this, but rather we find <I>joy</I> in whatever circumstance because we know that he is moved by our conditions. He is moved and weeps alongside us and works through his own creation to overcome for the good of his children. He is moved to move.<br /><br />You are in our constant prayers and have our ongoing support at your disposal.Michael Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535833766942754590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9893053.post-1105905180276750082005-01-16T12:53:00.000-07:002005-01-16T12:53:00.000-07:00hey tiff-
Whenever I think of you guys and why Go...hey tiff-<br /><br />Whenever I think of you guys and why God is doing what he is doing, I keep thinking about the Nooma Rain video. Rob says that there may be some day when his son asks him why he made him go through that storm and it would break his heart becuase he would say, "I would not trade that moment for the world. I got to hold you close and say over and over, 'I love you. I love you, buddy. Everything is going to be okay'" God wants to hold you close and keep reminding you of his love. You don't know how right youa are when you say God is going to do things through Abby that he couldn't do otherwise; Becuase of all you are going through, I have really had to consider my own life and God is moving mountains. Thanks for answering the call to be involved in my life, i'm glad I am in yours.<br /><br />HeidiH.

You are on the right track and no matter what happens our Lord and Savior will be at your side. Watching a child close to us suffer is one of the hardest things he gives us to do, but in that he grows great strength, trust and peace...just keep running to Him...God Bless you and your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9893053.post-1105894051579673852005-01-16T09:47:00.000-07:002005-01-16T09:47:00.000-07:00Tiff,
