We are praying for you and the little ones. I was thinking about what you said about Andrew listening to Third Day and I too don't listen to it much since I can't sometimes understand what they are saying but my husband listens to it during his runs and it seems to really minister to his heart. Well I was up with sick kids in the early morning and couldn't get back to sleep so decided to go for a run and listen to Third Day on the iPod out of curiosity to try and listen to the words and I can see why they like it so much. Take It All from their album Revelation made me think of you and I was able to pray for you throughout my run. May the sweet memories of Andrew and His love for our Lord ease the pain and grief as you think of him now complete in GLORY. Please know you are upheld by the body of Christ each day. The Lord is near to those who call upon Him!Mommy Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216381156530843902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-74423664435493758602009-03-16T23:04:00.000-05:002009-03-16T23:04:00.000-05:00Well done darling. :)glad I visited your blog.

I just wanted to let you know that people you don't know have been praying for you and that you are not alone. I also want you to know (just to be practical) that what you are going through - the being ok then not being ok - is completely normal! After my mom died everyone in my family went through grief differently. It was a bit jarring - I thought we'd all go through it together. But I learned that everyone grieves differently and most importantly there is no right or wrong way - you just are where you are and there is nothing to do but go through it. So don't be too hard on yourself in the journey :) and thank you so much for keeping the blog up so we can journey with you! I LOVE that Andrew left you all these letters and journal entries. What a blessing! I am also very excited to see what God will do with and in your future. You are a very special woman!Cherie Baker Vannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717247266258548648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-87408390790754783062009-03-15T23:23:00.000-05:002009-03-15T23:23:00.000-05:00Hi Grace,My name is Joseph and I'm a student at UC...Hi Grace,<BR/><BR/>My name is Joseph and I'm a student at UC Berkeley.

And I wondered what it would be like if I knew Mark was not coming home...like how you were probably sitting in your living room that night. Thank you for the reminder to keep Christ first and foremost in my affections. You are on my mind daily and I pray for you often each day. It is so true there is only a veil between where we are now and where Andrew is. We will all be together with our Savior so soon!....so soon. I am so thankful for the hope of eternity. God is so good to us. <BR/><BR/>KimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202203957369790278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-36674790936680509682009-03-14T07:28:00.000-05:002009-03-14T07:28:00.000-05:00dear gracie: i am praying for you. your imagery o...dear gracie: i am praying for you. your imagery of trying to breathe through a contraction was particularly moving to me as i just went through labor just than two weeks ago, and it was agony! and i know that this picture is probably a weak analogy to describe your pain. i'm with you, sister, in spirit, wishing i could be with you to give you a big hug and join your slumber party with a.j. and gracie to offer a shoulder to cry on (quietly, so the kids don't have to run for a tissue box in the middle of the night!).Angie Velasquez Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770379099839751865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-5555240759514337322009-03-14T00:59:00.000-05:002009-03-14T00:59:00.000-05:00thank you for sharing all of your feelings and tho...thank you for sharing all of your feelings and thoughts. it really does change the way i see life, it reminds me what is important in life. we are praying for you.Tawny, Bo and Orion Ayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409343743610920737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10758326.post-58403679986365805842009-03-13T21:32:00.000-05:002009-03-13T21:32:00.000-05:00Praying for you, A.J., and Gracie right now!Praying for you, A.J., and Gracie right now!Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787404009559568806noreply@blogger.com
