Please Pray
Amy has not received a good report. Please pray for her and her sweet husband and baby boy. Read her story here and pray for a miracle!
My heart is breaking for her right now. I have been an emotional wreck all day. We attended the funeral of the 39 year old friend today who died suddenly last weekend. The difficulties of what others are going through is almost too much for me to bear. Do you ever feel this way? And I am not the one suffering. I do weep with those who weep and today has been one of those days. God,thank you for your assurance that this life is not our home. Anything we are afraid of happening on this Earth can not compare to Your glory we will see one day.
These things are no lapse in the goodness of God,but it hurts. It just does!
Amy,you are in my prayers. I am crying out to the Lord for you.
This is the scripture on Amy's Blog:

"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand."
~ Psalm 121:1-5a
I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

Oh, Kim. Thank you SO much for posting this. I have gone to her site and commented to her, and have committed to pray for her and her family. What a precious, precious sister in Christ.
And bless you for "mourning with those who mourn" today. SO like Christ's character. It's times like this that we draw ever closer to Him and rejoice that all of this is "light and momentary" in light of the glory to come. Praise You, Lord.

I am praying for her now Kim. Her faith is such an amazing testimony.
You are not alone Kim. I have been crying all day. A little 9 year old girl in a nearby community was killed last Saturday in a car accident. Her mother was driving and it was truly a terrible accident. She was her only child. My heart just aches for these parents. Several families in our church know them personally. The funeral was today also! A friend who was preparing to attend the funeral shared a beautiful story with me on the phone of the love this little one shared with other kids in her Good News Club at school. I just wept! So, I said all this to say again, I pray with you and weep with you!
My heart hurts for her and her family! Thank you for posting, I'm so blessed to know that there are so many people praying for her.
I feel the same way. I have been following Amy from the beginning and was so sad to hear this news. I will be praying. Thanks for posting this.
I join you in prayer for Amy, and I hold you up as well, Kim. We can't help but weep with those who weep. We are all part of the same family. We draw close to the throne to beseech on behalf of our brothers and sisters who suffer.
Thank you for sharing your heart. Mine is in synch with yours.
Because of His mercy, we do not grieve as those who have no hope...
Kim,
I am praying now for Amy, too. She expresses her hope in Christ so beautifully, but my heart just aches for her and her family. Though we do not always understand the circumstances God allows in our lives, these are the times we must cling to what we know of Him from His Word. He is faithful.
Bless you, as well, as you mourn with your friends. It is so hard to watch those we love go through difficult, painful seasons.
In Christ,
Rebekah
Thank you for posting this. Bringing me back to reality. I have been so upset that my ear is plugged up with junk and I can't hear, that Amy's situation right now leads me to be thankful for my silly stopped up ear. Thankful that I don't have to make life and death decisions right now at this moment. I posted on hers and said that we would interceed for her family. How can we serve a God we don't understand yet continue to love Him so much at the same time? Grace. Thank you.
Praying for her and her family...beautiful fitting verses Kim.
