a faith building story and some Derek to go with
This family is an example of faith lived out, not valuing their own lives over faithfulness, willing to sacrifice self for others, primarily their own child. And they give the glory to God.
Why are we so faithless when it comes to these situations, acting like the mother's life has more value than the child's? They both have value, seek to save both, which is what this family did. check out these two news spots, and the husband's blog below. Why is it that when a father dies in war to save and protect his children he is called a hero, but when a mother becomes pregnant at the cost of her own health or life even, she is called foolish? Or her husband is blamed for being a jerk? God is the one who opens and closes the womb, he gives children, husbands don't. "Am I God who has withheld children from you?" Jacob speaking to Rachel when she had said "give me children or I'll die"

Beautiul but Sad Story Tammy. Thanks for putting it up on your blog.
All is going well here. I haven't gotten to take Juana out driving lately because of work, weather or taking care of my mom. I'm hoping to see them before I leave for St. Louis, but there's some busy days ahead for me.
We had the Ibarra's over for Mexican last Saturday. It was so nice! After the kids finished eating they went out and caught up with the skunk that I had put photos up on my blog a few days before. We just told them to stay upwind from him if they were going to continue to track him. They did and he didn't seem to mind the company. Monica noticed his left front paw was not all there.
Had a phone call from June S. Tell you about it next time we talk. I'll try to call before heading out to St. Louis
Hello Tammy Jean;
I hope someone will tell this young couple about glyconutritionals and how other folks with her disorder have been helped so much with their use...
Yes, the Lord is the one who gives or takes away children...gives or removes breath... Bless His Holy Name.

Hi Tammy- What an amazing story...a good reminder of how much I take for granted...and should not.
Knowing you are a reader, I just read of a book in WSJ, "Fatal Misconception" by Matthew Connelly. Though definitely a secular worldview, I thought it might be am interesting informative read on government controlled population and eugenics philosophies.
Hugs,
Alison L.
