Oh precious one. I love that you can still see the positive in spite of the desperateness of the situation. Fear and faith are present in our lives every day - it's the one we choose that rules our life. Bless ya heaps and big hugs xx
Oh Sammy. Man!! I just don't know what to say/type, whatever.
love you girl xxx
Big bugs and hold on to these positives . Thinking of you all xx
when I walk through that valley where death's shadow slings low I will not fear because you are with me, right beside me in the midst of that dreadful place, close enough to touch
may you feel the warmth of His breath on your face in that horrible valley xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh Sammy, am praying and thinking of you again. You have been given so much to deal with, it seems unfair! Hoping you get some moments of peace in all the chaos. Lots of love. xx
love and prayers in abundance, friend.
Thankful for our God who IS our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.... He is ever present - and I just pray that you, Nikki and Penny will continue to seek the good out, and seek Him out.
Standing in prayer and combat with you. Love you.
Wishing there was more that I can do... prayers seem so inadequate.
Sending you love and hugs and LOADS of prayers.
Man.
I knew this but seeing it all written down.
Well.
All I can say is LOVE YOU (and we are working on a plan to make sure you and hubby get a night/afternoon out SOON)
P.S. Love the way you wrote it
Good news - He who called you is faithful. He will see you through Xx
Love You xxx
