I had congestive heart failure at the age of 19 after having our daughter, chloe, and became so much closer to God through the whole ordeal...and this little boy tanner at church was struggling with cancer... then my thyroid got enlarged and i got asthma and anxiety attacks and the lord kept bringing someone into my path and showing me, look, you have it so well. your daughter LIVED with GREAT HEALTH and you are alive to care for her and that is great! keep your head up! in James though it does say to look out for the widows and orphans-to show compassion- and it is great that you have compassion for this kiddo. <BR/><BR/>When i was recovering from congestive heart failure, this passage really got me- <BR/> 18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that[i] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. <BR/><BR/>that is for you AND that little girl. your present sufferings AREN't WORTH COMPARING!!! it will be so great!!!<BR/><BR/>so this is a lot comign from a first time reader of your blog... i can't even remember now how i came across it... i think i was reading another person's blog and you had commented on it.... but anyhow i hope this helps and will be watching your blog now and hope this helps :)<BR/><BR/>AmandaMandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502146243663987140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1756404950373918189.post-46057274325646538072009-03-08T22:04:00.000-04:002009-03-08T22:04:00.000-04:00Anita,I do read here, all that you post, and somet...Anita,<BR/>I do read here, all that you post, and sometimes I just can't find the words to put into comments.<BR/><BR/>But I'd like to share something that someone shared with me during a similiar struggle. <BR/><BR/>What if it was God's plan for that child to be here for a short term? What if she is only supposed to be here short term for all of us to learn from her what she has taught us. She's almost two you say, and her mother has learned so many lessons from her in her short lifespan. What if she was just here to teach her mother or dr those lessons and move on? <BR/><BR/>What if it was God's plan that you are needed here for whatever reason(s)he and you had set on the other side of the veil. You're healing in all those poison's that were placed before you are true miracles. I am grateful for you to survive them. For I see you are still one of God's teachers and are still here because you have lessons to be given..Will your girls need you in the future? I am sure they will. Will your boys need you? I'm sure they will. Would they get the lessons from anyone else? Maybe, but maybe not as effectively from anyone else as you could give. <BR/><BR/>I'm not trying to by any means deminish the value of this child's life. <BR/><BR/>But just say that I know and believe it's all part of God's plan. I may not like it, I may not understand it..But I know in the end it will be explained to us and make so much more sense than now..It has too..<BR/><BR/>You are in my thoughts and prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
