I think that is so HARD to trust God with our children; loving someone so much, feeling the weight of the responsibility, and seeing all of the future potential there somehow also brings up how small I am in the universe and how little control I have in spite of my best efforts.<br /><br />I'm so sorry this has been such a rough journey. Although my own experiences were different, I truly feel for you guys. Thank you for sharing about your process (which, by the way, does not equal whining).

I can't say that I understand all you are going through, so I won't pretend to. Hearing Tim talk about your baby girl and your pregnancy yesterday at Homecoming, I felt the peace and trust that he has found in this situation, and was deeply moved by the simple but profound truth the two of you are clinging to - that God is ultimately good, and ultimately in control. We have had to learn to cling to that same truth in the last 3 months as we have gone through my diagnosis of thyroid cancer, subsequent surgeries, and upcoming treatment. You never stop worrying when you have kids, not completely. But somewhere along the way, you learn that you have to do exactly what you have realized - DAILY place that child in to His hands, and know that really, that is all we can do, but that it is the best thing we can do. Praying with you that your faith is increased, that your prayer life grows and becomes the air your breathe, and that the presence of the Holy Spirit in your home and in this situation is made tangible to you in amazing ways. I KNOW that God is going to do more than you have asked or imagined, and more than you would believe, even if He told you!
