I think that has made me feel so connected to you & your blogs. <br />I just wanted you to know that we also attend the WTR in Wichita... I am so grateful that you were able to attend. It really put some things into perspective & was rekindling. I wish I would have seen you so I may have had the opportunity to introduce myself & thank you. Your faith has made me a better mother, wife and follower of Christ.<br /> I just wanted you to know that my family thinks of Cora often and prays for you & your husband.<br />With many prayer & lots of love to our family in Christ...

I just wanted to stop by and say that God put you on my heart a couple different times this weekend, Friday afternoon standing in Target looking at Easter candy and then again today in church to pray for you guys that He would carry you through this holiday weekend without Cora. I hope you have a good week this week.

I lost my 15 year old daughter a month ago in an accident. As a single mother she was my life. It has been very hard, but I have put my trust in the Lord. I know that He has a plan and He was ready for my daughter. It doesn't lessen the saddness or how much I miss her. She is my first thought when I wake, my constant thought throughout the day, and my last thought as I close my weary eyes. The hardest part is not knowing "why". But, I know I must live until I am with her again. I would love to connect with you and your husband as we each travel this journey that has been chosen for us.Ashlienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-26726532540830088792009-04-08T23:04:00.000-05:002009-04-08T23:04:00.000-05:00I know I have said it before, but you inspire me d...I know I have said it before, but you inspire me daily.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028672073239357729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-14882041658686212652009-04-08T22:38:00.001-05:002009-04-08T22:38:00.001-05:00We were praying for you this weekend while you wer...We were praying for you this weekend while you were there.

My husband and I went to Weekend to Remember on our 10th wedding anniversary. I wish we had gone sooner, and I recommend it to newlyweds and engaged couples. It really is a wonderful time to focus on your marriage, even when everything's just peachy.<BR/><BR/>In your situation, I'm especially glad you took this opportunity. A family in our church lost a child to an accident in the home several years ago (I think he was about 18 months old). This family didn't take the time to really dig in and work through all that they were going through, and years later they had to deal with it in a much more painful way, including marital problems. God is so gracious, and He walked with this family through the marital trial and now they are working as missionaries with a strong marriage.<BR/><BR/>Just keep holding on to your hubby and seeking God in this terrible trial in your life. He will never leave you nor forsake you.<BR/><BR/>We will be praying for you as you approach Easter this weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-31621738898645605822009-04-08T15:09:00.000-05:002009-04-08T15:09:00.000-05:00Thanks for letting me weep with you.

Unfortunatley, we missed it when it stopped by our city. Though when we first got married, Family Life had a different couples' conference they don't do anymore that we attended that was just as inspiring and really touched our marriage. We even got to see Steven Curtis Chapman there. It was awesome.<BR/><BR/>When I read that you had someone sponsor your trip, it reminded me that when the conference was here, our local Christian station was giving away tickets and they recalled giving away tickets to a couple that also just lost their baby. So inspiring in teaching us to love our neighbors and support them through their struggles too.<BR/><BR/>Still praying for you both.Audreyhttp://gi-janearng.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-87753849994336031912009-04-08T13:52:00.000-05:002009-04-08T13:52:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you got to go.

I really felt that it hits you where you are...it speaks to people in all situations, as you said. Did you get the couple with 13 kids? They too lost a child before a year (in an accident), and the stories they shared about how they were able to grow together instead of apart after their son's death were really powerful. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for you continued witness and for sharing your walk with your "friends".
