~ D.L. Moody
 

Verse of the Week 4/5/12

NKJV:

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

~Matthew 6:24

NOTICE!!!

Please Vote on ALL of the WHATS YOUR FAVORITE SONG... I know it's hard to decide. But vote on all THREE post. They all have different songs on them.

Hadassah Rose...

Hadassah Rose, still born.



Hadassah - "shining star". Queen Easter's name was Hadassah, before it was changed.



Rose - "a symbol of love; God's gracious gift." Abby loves  this name, so we decided to name her this.



Forever in our hearts... Hadassah Rose.



"Dearest Hadassah,
We were SO excited about you joining our family! Now with deep sadness, our hearts are broken. Even though God called you home so soon, we know His plans and purposes are higher than ours! So we commit our plans into His plans. We look forward to joining you someday where we will never part again!!
... All our love,
Dad, Mom, Chad, Annie, Tyler, Sarah, Kaitlyn, Zachary & Abigail
P.S. The cause of the death of precious Hadassah was an improperly attached umbilical cord. As she grew she did not receive enough of blood through the cord. She was formed so perfectly! Even her fingernails were perfect. [We joked that it looked as though she'd gotten a manicure because the tips of her nails were white.] :)
Thanks to all who have prayed and cared for us during this difficult time!"

More on the Baby...

Little Hadassah Rose was born at 11:00pm on Tuesday, May 15, 2012. We got to see her at midnight. She was so perfect, she had the cutest fingers, and even finger nails. She was small, weighing only 5 ounces, she was 7.75 inches long. We had a private burial with only us kids and my parents. We were comforted to know that the baby didn't die because of something we did. The cord was not attached and so Hadassah wasn't getting enough blood flow. The mid-wife says that this would have happened about three weeks after becoming pregnant. The baby was just okay because she was smaller.

It's hard to think we wouldn't have a little baby. Dad prayed and talked about Hadassah resting in the arms of Jesus. But it's still hard. But it helped when Dad said that she's another little prayer warrior praying up in Heaven for us down here as we go to Thailand. My mom has had six miscarriages and three still borns, making a total of nine losses. We can't wait to meet all our brothers and sisters in Heaven.

We named her Hadassah, after the Queen Easter. And Abigail loved the name Rose so we named her that for Abby. We plan to plant a rose bush in memory of her. Although we'll wait 'till we gae to Thailand.

We look forward to meeting our little sister in Heaven. Please continue to pray for us.

QS of the Week 3/5/12

Verse of the Week 3/5/12

NKJV:

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

Home From NYC

Although I liked the city, I'm a woods girl! I never knew how much I loved the woods until I got home. The air smells different, the green grass, the blue sky, purple flowers, green trees, sounds of birds, running bare foot! It all just made me so happy! Now don't get me wrong, when I was in the city it's not as bad as I thought, and even though I prefer the woods, if God called me to the city I could go.

But it is a change! We went from this:

and


TO;

AND THIS:


But I will miss the people in NYC. And there are things that I will miss about the city too.
Thanks for all the prayers. Keep praying as we prepare to sell our house.

The Best News!!!

Chad doesn't need surgery!!!!!!!!!

If you don't know why he needed surgery I'll explain: The doctors were afraid that the nerve in his leg was cut, so they would need to do a Nerve Transplant. The date of the surgery was this Thursday (May 17, 2012). If he had to have surgery he only had 20% chance that he would have full recovery. There was a little hope though, they had to do one more test, to see if the nerve had grown. If it had then he wouldn't need the surgery. The first test showed that it hadn't grown (this test was the day we went to NYC on April 8, 2012) Then last Thursday (May 10) He had his last test (if this test didn't show that his nerve grew, he would have to have surgery.) PRAISE GOD! THE NERVE HAD GROWN! HE DOESN'T NEED SURGERY!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD!!! He now has a 70% chance of FULL recovery, although it could take between 2-3 years.

Thanks for all the prayers! GOD IS GOOD!!!! Please continue to pray as he still goes through the time of "recover".

3-D Miracles

Three-Different Miracles in One Day! 

       On Saturday, April 21, 2012, my family could have gone from 9 expecting 10, to 4. All because of cars. Now I'm not blaming cars, but there the reason our family would have shrunk.

      One. My mom (pregnant) and sister Annie, went shopping at about 7:00 Saturday evening. They didn't return until 10:30. I wondered why, after all they were only going to one store. My mom came into our room goose bumps covering her arms. "Thank the Lord that were still alive!" While driving in a six lane highway. (Three, for on going traffic, and three, for coming traffic.) A lady suddenly swerved to her left, missing my mom and Annie by only about a foot. (Or so) While driving at 50 mph, she crossed all 5 lanes (Not counting the lane she was in.) Missing every car, but causing another accident. (A man put on his breaks when seeing the lady and another car crashed into the back of him.) She went over the bump in the middle of the road, and crashed into the side of a porch, flipping her car over! Mom and Annie were the first to reach the car. Annie opened the door and so the lady, who was in total shock! She was not in her seat belt, but appeared to be fine. My mom and Annie stayed behind and talked to the police.

      Two. My Dad and Chad were in Lancaster, (Because my dad needed to work, and Chad had a doctors appointment.) On Saturday a car just so missed them.

      Three. Tyler, who was also in Lancaster was walking along the road, and decided to cross the road. (Which made no sense, because he would soon have to turn right and would have to cross the road again!) Tyler said that he didn't know why he crossed, he just did it. Right after he crossed, a car swerved and ran into a tree. Tyler would have been hit had he not crossed!

      I just want to thank anyone and everyone who prayed for us that Saturday!!!!! God heard and answered your prayers!

Another Update...

We are having a good time her in NYC. Although I miss home. In some way's I wish I wouldn't be taking the classes, because of school. But then I think about all that I learned and I change my mind. I'm so glade I'm taking the classes! You can tell, because I could drop out of classes any time. Just don't expect me to have a lot of school done when I get home.

We will be returning on May 11, 2012.

Keep praying, and thanks for the prayers so far. God bless you...
