Of course when I was young if you saw a counselor..someone had failed...your mom or whoever. So you depended on your family and pastor to answer all your needs. Looking back...I needed counselling. I reemember so many times how immediate death was on my heart..when someone was late getting home, sick or not in their place. Just know you and Greg are so important to Chloe, Maddie and Carter. They are so lucky to have you and I know God has plans to use Mav as he continues to do so! What an amazing little baby! Loved by so many and living on through his amazing family:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883368379602864359.post-28158224561405147222009-04-14T14:59:00.000-05:002009-04-14T14:59:00.000-05:00Juli,

As Craig said, it is when we look back at the hard times that we see God's hands through it all. Of course, it will take time for you to look back in that rearview mirror and see what He did through your loss. I don't know if you will ever know or understand why all of this has happened. I wish I had the answers. More importantly, I wish I could take your pain away. All I can do is pray that God lifts you in his arms of comfort, and wraps you with His peace. I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. It just isn't fair. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing so openly and honestly on your blog. Many of our friends and family are praying for you. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />JaimeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883368379602864359.post-19867521489978681492009-04-14T09:34:00.000-05:002009-04-14T09:34:00.000-05:00Jaime,

I know that God is with us, but with all this hurting it's so hard to see Him and understand why.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711256155334953185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883368379602864359.post-65548757981855556752009-04-13T23:08:00.000-05:002009-04-13T23:08:00.000-05:00Juli,

I've been following you ever since. Many times I have thought about sending you a message, but didn't know what to say. This post was the spark that got me to write. See, I attend Life Church, and during the sermon on Saturday night, I was thinking of you. I prayed that God would somehow allow you to see that message, and now I see He did. He is so Good!! I want you to know that God is with you during this terrible time, and He is using you and your experience in ways that you cannot imagine. I, for instance, have been on my knees more than ever praying for you and your family, which has brought me closer to Him than ever before - 2 months ago, I just spoke to Him when I needed Him. Now, I pray quite often, and I am beginning to see how He works (like you seeing that message, which currently has me in awe!). I have 3 children of my own, and I cannot imagine your loss and your pain, but I will continue to pray for you and your family. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Jaime WaldenvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
