i never get tired of hearing how our baby girl's story and our faith fight encourages others.
i never get tired of seeing GOD get the Glory for it. all of it.
it's a part of a sweet answer, an ongoing answer to a crying begging prayer, years ago. me on the kitchen floor in hot tears, snot dripping, head pounding, ugly face cryin' going on....
"please, Lord...use this for good. somehow. good....use her little life and tragic death. to bring OTHERS to YOU."
that's the only way to make sense of ugly grief and broken heart. right? that was our deal, right God? i do the heart work that seemed impossible during kitchen floor grief, the letting go and the trusting, the hanging on, the healing...and You'd do the rest?
to HIM be the Glory, always.
every email, every post, every letter and every note...every life that is touched by our Sydney Grace is my God answering that prayer. over and over. and over.....
our ever creative, story weaving, heart healing and compassionate friend-sweet encouragement giving God, thank you.

I had the same prayer the week MIriam passed. AS one of God's daughters I truly think that is one of the only ways we can possibly wrap our minds around the fact that they are with Him, before we had a chance to teach them about Him. He shows us, though their life was short, He had great plans for them.
