I look forward to seeing Renn and Eli on Sundays. They give the best hugs and have such infectious smiles!

Just wanted to let you know that I am here for you guys. If you would like for me to a) set up a playdate in Chico b) send constant good thoughts your way c) contact George Lucas somehow, someway, or d) all of the above, please just let me know. B is a freebie. A is way easy. and C is do-able and not past my level of sanity. Thank you for sharing your family's journey with us. Give a huge hug to Renn for me.

My heart is burdened but as Christians God has given us His amazing gifts of love , mercy and grace. As you walk this journey,which no one really understands, may God grant you more love, more mercy and more grace until it overflows. Bethany you are a strong woman. I think Renn gets his Jedi strength from you. Just know that God hears our prayers and is standing as a strong watch tower over him. What a beautiful thing!

I am confident that the Lord is going to give you and Rick supernatural wisdom as you go through this decision-making process. Most of all, I trust that He will protect and care for Renn along the way. Love this passage from Isaiah 43:<br /><br />"But now, this is what the Lord says—<br />he who created you, O Jacob,<br />he who formed you, O Israel:<br />“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;<br />I have summoned you by name; you are mine.<br />When you pass through the waters,<br />I will be with you;<br />and when you pass through the rivers,<br />they will not sweep over you.<br />When you walk through the fire,<br />you will not be burned;<br />the flames will not set you ablaze.<br />For I am the Lord, your God,<br />the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;<br />I give Egypt for your ransom,<br />Cusha and Seba in your stead.<br />Since you are precious and honored in my sight,<br />and because I love you,<br />I will give men in exchange for you,<br />and people in exchange for your life.<br />Do not be afraid, for I am with you."<br /><br />believing this for you,<br />AmyAmy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603444232866340533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664204484238154643.post-39416682712317307472012-12-13T10:55:49.144-08:002012-12-13T10:55:49.144-08:00Thank you, Beth.
