She's lost 5 pounds this past week which is not good for a tall, thin girl. I appreciate Elizabeth Elliot's words, "Do the next thing". That's about all I can do right now while on the verge of tears watching my very healthy, active daughter wasting away. I know that this can be taken care of and, although there is no cure, she can lead a very normal life but always on meds. Thanks for the encouraging words.

When she spoke of the platitudes that are sometimes offered in times of crisis, I was speechless. That was and is exactly how I felt! Sarah and all those who left comments assured me that I am safe in expressing my real feelings to God, and that sometimes people quote scripture out of context. Her words allowed me to be free from the guilt of not being able to stand up straight under the load that had overwhelmed me. Sarah, thanks for encouraging us to be real with God!

Sarah's willingness to be transparent in the face of her trials has given me, and I know many, many others, hope and courage to face our own trials. She is such a blessing and a great example of courage and grace. You found exactly the right person to give an honor titled, “The Courage Awards”.

After my third miscarriage, I was trying to explain to someone how I was struggling with God's purpose in it. Her reply was "So they'll be there to greet you in heaven." I knew what she was saying, and that it was meant as a comfort, but to me it seemed so flippant. I'm so glad we serve a God who isn't afraid of our feelings, and waits patiently for us to come to Him when we are ready. Thanks for saying it so well and in so many different ways. Would you ever have imagined that a story about toxic poo could minister to so many women??? Well said…as always Sarah!
