I, too, have had my times when I have struggled with knowing that it wasn't my turn to receive a miracle when my Angels passed away, but this made sense to me.<br /><br />"When someone has an ailment or an illness and they are healed as the result of a blessing, their faith is being strengthened. But for those who aren't healed but continue faithful, their faith is being perfected. The first is a faith-promoting experience. The second is a faith-perfecting experience."B Flat Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434379445574853070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001283287642124869.post-53717577410329413802011-02-18T14:10:47.777-06:002011-02-18T14:10:47.777-06:00Right there with you...every word.

How my hearts aches for all of you. I...Sweet Angie,<br />How my hearts aches for all of you. I want you to know that you, Joe, your precious girls are always in my prayers. <br /><br />I can still see Mark when I close my eyes, not at the hospital (though I remember that), but at church in the pew when I could get a chance to steal him out of Beth's arms and hold him. <br /><br />I know nothing of your pain first hand or of God's plan except that he has one. <br /><br />I want you to know that I am constantly sending prayers your way and I am here for all of you.Just a Texas Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612416824380477196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001283287642124869.post-1347402272083526172011-02-18T08:43:20.424-06:002011-02-18T08:43:20.424-06:00Angie,
I can so relate to everything you have wri...Angie, <br />I can so relate to everything you have written here. The worry for my other children is great, as well. I live constantly in fear of finding them lifeless, I know the look and it's not one I ever care to see again. <br /><br />I struggle mightily with the purpose of prayer. If God has it all planned out, why pray? I've been considering doing a post on my blog on this topic but have held back for fear of the feedback I might get. Last week I received a comment, which I did not post, telling me that Laynee's death was sad but senseless. Anonymous (of course) proceeded to tell me that children should never be left unattended and that because Laynee was special she needed an "extra eye." Thank you so much, anonymous, I'm sure I've never thought of such a thing. By the way, I lost my child, not my brain. <br /><br />I feel so confuse and so lost right now. Some days I feel like it's going to suck the life out of me. <br /> <br />Wish you were nearby so that we could sit and pour out our hearts to each other. I so long for someone who knows all the variables of such a tragedy. <br /><br />On a side note, when we had our huge midwestern blizzard a couple of weeks ago, I wrote Mark's name countless times in the snow. I wanted to send you a picture for your gallery. However, the snow was so bright that I couldn't get a decent picture. Know that I thought of Mark alot in those days. Not sure why, I just did. <br /><br />Have you read the book "Heaven is For Real" If not, please send me your mailing information. I would love to send this book to you. It is a beautiful depiction of heaven, one that I think would be meaningful to your entire family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375070245303834905noreply@blogger.com
