Our lives with little Jeffrey continued on, and sometimes we just felt as if we were on a roller-coaster. We’d have a great day thinking we saw some great progress in his little body, but then would come another day filled with sorrow as you watched other kids his age able to do so much … More Oh No, More Pain on The Way – But Also Relief!
I don’t get it. How can people make it through life without having a true and personal relationship with Jesus Christ? The world is rapidly falling further and further into the gutter, and my heart just bleeds for young couples trying to raise their children in a godly manner in these days and times. How … More How Can You Even THINK You Can Make It Without God?
Some bad habits are hard to break, aren’t they? A very bad habit that continuously tries to pop its nasty head back into my life is trying to run my life “my plans, my way.” But I am learning that things always go so much better when I wait upon the Lord for His direction, rather … More Continuing Forward
When you lose a loved one, I think everyone would agree that it’s after the “busyness” of the memorial service – and after all the friends stop coming by on a daily basis – that the real pain starts to arrive. Because now you have to go back to living your life, you have to … More But Then Real Life Sets In…
You know, life sometimes just throws circumstances at us that we have no control over. That certainly was the situation when the realization hit us that we were going to have to plan another memorial service for our second son in just a 5 month time period. Plus little Bryan’s passing had been expected (Peacefully … More Light Shines Through the Darkness
I’ve been writing about losing 2 of our boys, and I have to come right out and say that it’s been brutal sometimes to go back and re-live those times. I’ve had a number of meltdowns the past few weeks, especially as I’ve gone through some old pictures – some of which I hadn’t been … More Friends … Forever
Nothing, nothing, NOTHING can prepare you for losing a child. Life is so fragile – we just think automatically that our children will still be living when we die. But as I wrote in my last post, The Purity of a Child’s Heart, that’s because unfortunately we really don’t take a lot of God’s Word … More The Day When Jesus Became Real
Jesus tells us in Luke 18:17 (NIV): “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” What does that mean? It means accepting God’s words in total dependence, full trust, frank openness and complete sincerity. Children just seem to accept what God’s … More The Purity of a Child’s Heart
As I look back now, I can definitely see how God was working behind the scenes throughout the whole ordeal with our little premature twin babies – in spite of my sometimes belligerent and ungrateful attitude. Even though I still had not come to a real and true knowledge of who God was, God knew … More Peacefully Passing Into God’s Arms…
Our new daily routine after delivering our twin boys was to drive every day to Children’s Hospital in Seattle to spend some time with our new babies. Besides that, I decided I was done having kids. I went back to my OB/GYN and had him cauterize my tubes together. I did not want anything like … More Our New Daily Routine
