As I was walking at the gym today, I was switching between channels and stopped on the CBS morning show for a minute. Stephen Curtis Champan was a guest on the show today. I have read the headlines and seen the magazines but as I listened to him tell about their story and the faith and hope that they have I was brought to tears right their at the gym!!!. So, he went on to sing "Cinderella" and they showed a video of their family and again I cried.

As I watched that, I couldn't help remembering our own sweet little boy that went to live with Jesus 6 years ago. I too know the grief and heartache that comes with losing a child. As he spoke he talked about how they would enjoy their daughter's wedding with a mixture of sadness and hope for the future. And he reminded the audience about faith and how they would not have hope without that faith.

I sometimes wonder if I was able to portray that in my life. I spent many years so full of anger and resentment. Torn between what I knew was the Lord's plan and my human nature to just be angry at what I had lost. I began to balance those feelings and it didn't take long for me to see the Lord's plan for my life and how it has been orchestrated these past 6 years. I'm blessed with these beautiful children who I KNOW were given to me!! As I spend my days watching and teaching them, I only hope that I can show them Jesus in me.

I don't often talk about it but after watching that news program today, I just had to pour my heart out. Thanks for listening
