I am so encouraged by you and Andrew, how you are persevering by the grace of God, how steadfast and immovable your faith is. I am still praying & thinking of you guys so much. Even though I only lived with you for 3 short months, during that time I was so blessed by your example & devotion to Christ, and your desire to honor Him through loving Andrew in marriage. Grace, my thoughts are with you and I pray earnestly that the Lord would be your strength.

Reading your posts has been so moving--so humbling--as I would only hope that I might have a fraction of the faith and joy you are displaying, amidst the greatest challenge imaginable, if I ever find myself in such circumstances. Andrew's love for Christ expressed in his posts, as displayed both before and after the diagnosis, is heartening and so very encouraging to every believer reading this blog. Indeed, when Andrew sees his savior, in all His glory, he will hear the words "well done, my good and faithful servant. Enter into your rest". <BR/><BR/>Praying for you in Long Beach, CA--that our God will supply you with all you need to keep your faith strong and your joy full in these difficult times, both now and in the future. I pray that your children will live all their days with the model of faith and perseverence displayed by their father.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930864320573865515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-45358328800492725202009-02-07T11:24:00.000-06:002009-02-07T11:24:00.000-06:00Grace,We were so blessed to know you and Andrew ev...Grace,<BR/><BR/>We were so blessed to know you and Andrew even for the short span of those 3 weeks we were in Washington at the same time. Your family is such an example of enduring hardship while clinging to the Lord. You have been in our prayers throughout this last year and especially in the last few days. Thank you for living a life worthy of the gospel in the midst of greater difficulty than most people can ever imagine. The way you and Andrew have been a light to the world through this is having an eternal impact on many, many lives. May the Lord grant you strength, peace, and comfort beyond measure.<BR/><BR/>With tears and prayers,<BR/><BR/>Joe & Julie Whitejuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667841071160385587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-18945814839220419382009-02-07T01:21:00.000-06:002009-02-07T01:21:00.000-06:00What a beautiful testimony you both are.

I can relate to your comments about feeling like God is shielding you from a grief that could completely overwhelm you.<BR/><BR/>Our son died just over two and a half years ago. I look back and see that God put a bubble around me, enabling me to get through each day so that I could gradually deal with his death. It was the most merciful and loving feeling I have ever experienced in my life.<BR/><BR/>I will pray for you and your husband. Your example is inspiring - not only you personally - but in the testimony it is of our Almighty Lord who is giving you the strength and ability to walk through this trial and reflect Christ's image on this dark earth.<BR/><BR/>Bless you.<BR/>LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-30868546275993465562009-02-07T00:21:00.000-06:002009-02-07T00:21:00.000-06:00What a precious gift and thank you for sharing it ...What a precious gift and thank you for sharing it with us.
