I can't listen without crying, and I feel it really brings me into the presence of the Lord. Maybe as you listen to the lyrics, you'll understand why it touches my heart so deeply.<br /><br />Praying for you and your family through these coming weeks.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588611704639601981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-78344478561647693432010-09-13T10:28:16.143-04:002010-09-13T10:28:16.143-04:00This is beautiful, Jody!!!

I know that what you have been through is more than many of us shall ever experience. I cannot help but look at you/your life...and see how incredible this has made you.<br />Before you say you would prefer to not be so incredible....I want you to know I only mean that in the best way possible. That you had a choice, every day you live you have a choice...to live as you do, pressing forth and being the amazing women you are...or...succombing to the pain and agony that must surely overcome you! (not that you do not have the right to do that on occasion too!!!)<br />You must recognise what others see....Jody you are amazing and you help bring hope to the lives and hearts of others!!!<br />I always love reading your posts!!!<br />XOmimisherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146964574664332250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-27428183338171723562010-09-10T21:37:25.334-04:002010-09-10T21:37:25.334-04:00I've been reading your blog since a few weeks ...I've been reading your blog since a few weeks after we buried our tiny son, Caleb, in January. My girlfriend who had suffered an earily similar loss sent me the link because she knew how much I wanted and needed to read the words of mothers of loss... mothers with a firm reliance on God and not the mothers who just want to rail against the world. <br /><br />I've likened it (keeping your eyes on the Horizon) to the story of Peter walking on the water. Being a mother who has had to hand children back to their Creator is like walking on the water towards Jesus - as long as you keep your focused fixed on Him you are perfectly safe and at peace... but the second you let your guard down and look at your circmstances you start to drown.<br /><br />I have a new sweet boy growing inside of me, and I'm very much enjoying the pictures of Teague as I eagerly await the moment he is lifted to my aching waiting arms.mothergoose518https://www.blogger.com/profile/02058678494556881794noreply@blogger.com
