God is good and faithful all the time!
We went to Dallas this past weekend to visit Kaitlyn's parents. I was so encouraged by them. They are utterly heartbroken as you can imagine, (well I guess we can't really imagine), but they are at peace with God's will. They are not mad at Him- they just miss their little girl.
I will share some of what they have written on Facebook- not for some cathartic experience but for 2 reasons:
1. This is real. They need your prayers! This is a little window into their pain so you know how to pray for them.
2. In spite of their pain, they are still at peace with God and His decision. What an encouragement and testimony!

I wish we could be there today and tomorrow for the viewing and funeral, but sadly we cannot be.
In regards to the viewing today- her daddy's status: "


Jared and Jess, words will never to justice to how I feel for y'all right now.
I truly am encouraged by y'all at this time. Jess said how Kaitlyn wasn't truly y'all's but God's. That is something that I may not have mentioned with your pain so fresh, but I am so thankful that y'all understand that!
I hate that this happened. God does too. Even though He is in control of it all, He would rather this not happen. We know this is a result of the fall, and one day we will all get to be together in Perfection where there is no more pain and no more tears. Kaitlyn is already there. ♥
You have our hearts, thoughts and prayers. As I said before we left- call us anytime and we will come stay with y'all on those days when the house is a little too quiet. Or y'all are always welcome here to get away from it all. PLEASE do not hesitate to take me up on this offer!!
We both regret that we never met her on this earth, but we look forward to the day that we will get to see her in Heaven.
We love y'all!

my heart breaks for them! but please relay the message to them that they have AMAZING faith! i could never be as strong as there are, and i don't even have my own children yet. but thinking into the future about them, i cannot imagine losing them! i will begin praying for them, esp for the mom and her unborn baby boy! their little girl is praising Jesus.. and what could be better than that!

Hey, my name is John. I read a lot of blogs on religion and prayer and I've i feel like I've ended up here once before. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this prayer exchange website PrayerMarket.com I thought it was an interesting idea and would be curious to hear what you (or other christians) think about it
ReplyDeleteI'll check back here in the next day or two, thanks & God bless

John- I am not a fan of the prayer site. I do not like how you have to pray for prayers, or that you can get paid for praying for others.
ReplyDeleteThe idea in its pure form is pretty cool- a site for prayers- but that is all I care for about it.
Sorry! Cinderella
