You are right - I can't think of anything much worse than singing by myself. I guess I'll have to wait for Heaven to sing a solo that sounds good! I miss you!AlongCameTheBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590432394118183751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-26422484784974313702011-08-12T19:07:48.282-05:002011-08-12T19:07:48.282-05:00Laughing at your comment that you aren't much ...Laughing at your comment that you aren't much for praying aloud in a group. Last night, I must have been missing BBC pretty badly, b/c I dreamed I was singing in the choir. Then, you got up from your usual spot about three rows back with a microphone in hand and sang one of the verses of the song we were singing as a SOLO. You even did a really growly, bluesy thing with your voice on one of the phrases as you came up the steps to the stage. I told the kids about the dream at lunch today, and we we had a good laugh. You may have a perfectly lovely voice (I have no idea), but I'm pretty sure you'd rather eat a tube of diaper rash ointment than sing a solo in front of the church. Oh, Lana, we miss y'all. Can you tell?<br /><br />I loved the MESSAGE of your message, too, but I had to share this. I hope it tickles you just a little in the middle of your busy, busy day.Amy Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825784266277889616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-33159804472527923062011-08-12T12:11:57.272-05:002011-08-12T12:11:57.272-05:00Oh Anonymous - God does care!

I would love to hear more of your story if you felt ok sharing it with me. <br /><br />And yes, I get totally worn out and I do wonder how long I can keep the pace sometimes. Everyone keeps telling me early intervention is crucial so that's why I push so hard right now. <br /><br />I think hearing from people like you is what helps me know one small reason of why I have a child like Lily. If my story is helping others in some way, then I can let go of some of my anger and frustration. Sharing stories with each other is all part of the healing process.<br /><br />I just heard a wonderful pastor say this - "What if my MESS is actually my MESSAGE?" I'm willing to allow my mess to be used if it's helping others. <br /><br />Thank you for your prayers on my behalf. I will be praying for you, too.<br /><br />Please think about emailing me! It's so simple - just click on that little red email button. I would love to hear from you!AlongCameTheBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590432394118183751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-37599596426541455502011-08-12T06:22:56.428-05:002011-08-12T06:22:56.428-05:00I needed to say that this morning, I did have tha...I needed to say that this morning, I did have that hard talk with God. And yes, I am mad and at him and told him. And im honestly unsure If he cares about it. And one thing I prayed for you that while I know very little about you at all, you do seem to take on well beyond more for your daughter than any other based on what you've shared here. But, I also think this is a tine where it may be easier to fight for while she is so young and is less able to communicate and and may be more adaptable to you than when she starts getting older so I hope you will have that same drive 5, 10, 20 etc years from now assuming God will not do something else like allow a miracle and completely mend your daughter. Thank you for the advice and taking the time for sharing part of your experiences. Its been encouraging to me others are out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-33066245308698965172011-08-11T08:24:57.068-05:002011-08-11T08:24:57.068-05:00Pray for my brother-law, Charles Bullock, pastor o...Pray for my brother-law, Charles Bullock, pastor of church up in Burleson, Texas. Found out yesterday he has liver cancer. They don't know if it is primary liver cancer or if the cancer masticized somewhere else and spread to liver. The family is pretty numb right now with the news. Running tests to find out more and seeing an oncology asap as well. Pray for my sister as she has a lot on her plate right now. They will be making a lot of decisions in the next month and I pray for grace and discernment for them as they begin this journey. We are asking for healing.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053125490035682358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-50143897419918252822011-08-10T18:13:38.284-05:002011-08-10T18:13:38.284-05:00AWESOME!
