read these words of a woman who lost a newbornbaby last year. she counseled ANOTHER grieving mother: "Your son has given you an incredible gift," I told this grieving mom. "He has given you the gift of being forced to reconsider the very purpose of your life. Those who are sailing through a comfortable life at this point have not yet been forced to carefully consider their lives and surrender their dreams. But because you have been shaken to the core, you see clearly that if you cling to your own plans and desires, you will never discover freedom and joy found in losing your life for Jesus."now go to her blog and read the november 14th post. it is uplifting!

kathy, it REALLY spoke to me as well. hard lesson to learn but.....thank goodness we aren't too old to still learn. miss seeing you guys. maybe at cmas? we'll be in austin.
David mentions your names regularly....."Bru"...."Gan". I hope we get a chance to see you guys while you're here. Jonathan told me that he talked to Ian so hopefully we can see the Byrds too. I'll be praying for Alyssa tomorrow.
what are your plans? what do your days look like from sun before cmas to the day after? c and j leave for nc on dec 26 so we'll head home unless alyssa and ian plan to stay to see friends.
