Heavy Heart

I am thankful today for my sweet precious Hannah and that today I was able to wake her up, get her dressed and give her tons of hugs and kisses. I am thankful for my husband. I am thankful for my health. We are so incredibly blessed.
A precious woman was taken home to Jesus today. I was blessed to be able to get to know her and her family through their blog. Technology is so amazing these days. My friend Danielle summoned us to pray for Sarah over 6 months ago. She was pregnant and diagnosed with breast cancer. Danielle would send out reminder emails every Monday with her blog address. Each Monday I would check their blog to see how she was doing. These past few weeks I have been overwhelmed with thoughts and prayers for her as she delivered a precious baby girl and then suffered a stroke which led her back into the hospital.
Today, God took her home. My heart just breaks but I know that we serve an awesome God who is the ultimate comforter and is ALWAYS in control no matter what happens or how horrible it is. I know that God will heal Brad and give him great peace and comfort. God will show Chloe how much her mother loved her even if she was only to spend a few days with her. How great is the God we serve.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18: "Therefore do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal".
Zephaniah 3: 17: "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing".

I am praying for the Sullivan family and sweet baby Chloe.
