I am a part-time secretary at CBTD and have worked for Reagan a few times. I just wanted to tell you how much you and your family have ministered to me. The first time I met Will face to face, I was struck by his beauty, his politeness (he shook my hand and said hello or nice to meet you or something like that), and his energy. I look at the pics of he and that GORGEOUS little girl, they seem to be smiling more often than not--that's got to be a produce of their raising! I heard Reagan in the hall yesterday talking to someone, he was so positive and pleasant--WOW! What a blessing! I know you don't think you are a "hero" or a "strong" person, but I must tell you, you are definitely a hero to me! I can't begin to understand why God allows things to happen the way He does, but I trust His Word that says, "His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts," Isa. 55:8-10. But even knowing this, as I read your blogs, EVERY TIME I think that as Jesus looks down on what your family is experiencing, His heart must break a little more each day at the way the innocent ones of the world pay the price for the deterioration that sin has caused. I had a friend who once said he'd seen a dead bird on the ground, and he thought of the Scripture that says God even sees the sparrow when it falls, and he thought to himself, I want to get right beside that bird, because God's eyes are on it. I believe you and your family are in His direct line of vision. I know you didn't choose to be there, and I can't comprehend what it must feel like, but for whatever reason, He trusts you and Reagan to handle this. I believe with all my heart that He is using your family "for such a time as this," even if the reasons why are not clear now. Maybe you'll never know, this side of Heaven, how many lives you have impacted for His glory. But you have definitely impacted mine! I surely hope you will continue to keep us connected with your blog. I have shared your story with my husband, my church (we pastor here in Midland), my family, and my friends. We are all rooting for you! and guess what? In the end, WE ALL WIN---cuz I've read the back of the Book! p.s. - It won't hurt my feelings even a little bit if you choose not to post this comment. I just wanted you to know how I felt!

Of course a lot of things lived in boxes for a while and our kids slept on mattress on the floor for awhile.<br /><br />Well planned moves with a few months notice are for people who are not nearly as strong or creativeKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302037643126411567noreply@blogger.com
