I am a 30 something year old mom of five precious boys and two sweet girls. Five of our children are here with us and two are in the arms of Jesus. Our sweet baby girl Hope was diagnosed with Dystrophic Epdermolysis Bullosa and our youngest son came to us through adoption, our youngest daughter through foster care, and I've recently been diagnosed with malignant melanoma the Lord has shown us just how Faithful He is. We will continue to Journey and follow Him where ever He leads. We feel very blessed that God chose us to be the parents of each of our kids, and we look forward to what He has in store for us in foster care!
I have tears on my cheeks right now. I just read the blog post, and Kristy I am so happy you went!! I knew it would be a life changing event,not just for you, but for all of you, and I'm so happy you have these amazing women to share this journey with! We all can pray and love you, but these women know everything you are going through, they know the pain in your soul, that the rest of can just guess at! I know that you don't think you are courageous, but Ernest Hemmingway says that "Courage is grace under pressure." And you my friend have more Grace under Pressure than any other woman i've ever met! Be strong this week, I am praying! Love, Ginger
Go ahead and mention my child, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hide. I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending she didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that she has been missed. You asked me how I was doing. I say "pretty good" or "fine". But healing is something ongoing I feel it will take a lifetime. ~ Elizabeth Dent ~

I felt the strong need to pray for you today. Please know you are loved in Christ by someone you don't even know.
That was absolutely beautiful.
