{it's all His}

as i drove to pick up noah this afternoon, i was overwhelmed. between baby harper, little drew holland, a precious 2-year-old from my hometown who is at ACH from a recent dx of leukemia and Jenna (another blogger from Arkansas) who has a newborn in NICU at ACH facing the same situation baby Harper is - completely overwhelming. It was even difficult to pray. So, I just sat and listened to the silence.

after a while I grabbed for the radio dial and there is was.....Steven Curtis Chapman singing and what he said was so true......"it's all Yours God, Yours God, everything is Yours." He spoke of the intense grief when they lost their daughter this past summer, the darkness, the questions. Of course, I pray that each of these families will have nothing but a great outcome. But, in this life, we are not guaranteed that and as a parent that is an extremely frightening thought. In every aspect, it is all His.
