It's mom again. I feel peace that only God can describe. I felt like when Merlin and I came together this morning, that God came to Kira and is holding her in his arms. I was in a great hurry to get here and I felt like God was coming with me. I feel a real comfort in knowing I can't hold her but God can. More then life, I love this child so much; she has brought life to me, happiness beyond measure and that is what I want for. I want happiness for her whether it is here or there with God. She is such a happy child and I want that sooooooo much. I trust God and His everlasting arms, for He and Kira to decide together what is best for her. This is really hard for Daddy so pray pray for life! Her stats are not as good this morning and seem to be going down. She looks very very peaceful. There is one word to describe this child. Some are pretty, some are cute, but we always said she is neither. She is beautiful! We rest in Jesus, the giver of LIFE!!!!

my heart is so feeling the pain, the peace, and that ache in that mommys heart. and I prayed this morning that Kira would feel at peace and feel Papa God's arms near her. I woke up at 5 and prayed till I went back to bed at 7. And I got tears when I heard my prayers were being answered. I prayed that she wouldnt be scared and that she would feel peace. Sigh. And I know I don't know exsactly what you feel but I am so very thankful that you can have that peace of God having her in His arms. That beautiful girl that HE knows her life before she was even born. And the hole she would leave here on earth is huge! Trusting God is a challange but he calls us to that. I am praying for you all. Love you all. Prayers. Carmen-

ReplyDelete'Hide in the cleft,oh the cleft in the Rock
Tho' the ocean around you doth churn
Tho' the storm of life rages
yes, rages around you
The Rock stands immovable..firm .
Tho' the whole world may tremble,
O strengten thy soul
The Rock stands determinedly strong
The cleft was hewn out- hewn out just for you
Hold fast-tho'the night may be long.
For morning will come ,
and the storm will pass on
And you, oh, you'll cherish the calm!
And the Rock-yes that Rock! enduring forever-
Will still stand immovable...strong.
So lift up your heads,ye battered and bruised
Have faith in the midst oh the gale
For the Lord Jesus Christ...
that Cleft in the Rock
Will shelter you, cover you still.
God be with you...Sylvan and Rebecca Riehl
You are constatly on my mind and I keep checking your site for updates! Thanks for keeping us all posted and encouraged! Merlin, my prayers this afternoon are especially for you... as Mary Lu requested! The same God that is holding dear little Kira with his tender hands will also give you the mighty strength and endurance to face this indescribeable time. He is the ALMIGHTY and specializes in miracles... and for that we still pray!! Love you all! ---Devon Petersheim
ReplyDeleteThank you, God, for blessing Mary Lou with such peace... Continue enfolding them in your arms.
ReplyDeleteMerlin I have more questions than answers. So I am praying to the only ONE who has the answers! Praying that God would give you peace and strength to face tomorrow....and whatever tomorrow may bring.
ReplyDeleteThis morning when Trina and I stopped in at your house to get some food for lunch today, Marlea told me that Kiara is not feeling very good. I asked if she thinks Kiara will get better, she shrugged her shoulders and said I don't know. But then was very quick to add that the whole church is praying! I was touched by the faith of a child, trusting that because of the prayers of God's people...God will work things out. Praying that even now you will feel the prayers of the church rallying behind you and your family! -Merlin Stoltzfus
Marylou, what beautiful words. I feel I can't comprehend the pain you and your husband are going through, but may God continue to bless you with peace in this difficult time. She is very beautiful! Praying! -Michelle Fisher
ReplyDeletethank-you for the updates - it helps us to fell more connected and to know how to pray. I sense God"s presence is with you through this painful time. Your desires are so beautiful and at the same time painful, to be willing to let go of this little princess if that is what is Gods will is. We will continue to pray for you and your familys that he would carry you . Evie my heart crys with you too! We love you

May your name be magnified in Pennsylvania and through out the planet; may Kira become a great witness for You.
