Even God's son asked why His Father had forsaken Him. Looking at that situation from our perspective 2000 years later, we know it was because of God's great love for us and His desire to have a relationship with us, that He sacrificed His own son. God loves you and He wants to hear your anger because He knows how much you love your little ones and He wants to wrap His arms of peace and comfort around your shoulders and show how much He loves you. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. Cast your care upon Him, because He cares for you. <BR/><BR/> Our love and prayers,<BR/> Chris and JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-8062462249536130202007-09-21T07:14:00.000-05:002007-09-21T07:14:00.000-05:00Ryan and Jodi,Stop looking at this tradgedy like a...Ryan and Jodi,<BR/>Stop looking at this tradgedy like an adult would see it, and look at how a child would see it. Right now you are playing the game...Tug-Of-War. Logan is on one side and Olivia is on the other. The knot is in the middle. You're pulling for both, obviously, but the knot is coming closer to Olivia. So being the loving and caring parents you are, you go over to Logan's side and pull for him. So, the knot goes back into the middle. And for me, it's not until the next update that I know who's side the knot will be closer to. But whoever it is, I know that you will travel the distance to the other side to make things even.<BR/>Game strategy:<BR/>1. Dig in your feet. <BR/>(Remember, the darker it gets, the easier it is to see the light.)<BR/>2. Always keep your feet moving. <BR/>(No matter where the knot is, your always pulling for God.)<BR/>3. Believe<BR/>(Even the smallest people can do the biggest and greatest things.)<BR/>Look at what baby Jesus did, lying in a manger. <BR/>SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!!!<BR/><BR/>I have no doubt in my mind that you will Win this game!<BR/><BR/>Keep pulling,<BR/>SheaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-81575513106226773112007-09-20T22:32:00.000-05:002007-09-20T22:32:00.000-05:00A prayer read at my church a couple of weeks ago s...A prayer read at my church a couple of weeks ago seemed fitting for the trials Jodi and Ryan are going through.<BR/><BR/>Prayer of Trust by Thomas Merton<BR/><BR/>My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therfore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.<BR/><BR/>So many thoughts and prayers are with you, Jodi, Ryan, Olivia, and Logan.<BR/><BR/>TamarTamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552730697904709418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-38932880094852311262007-09-20T21:50:00.000-05:002007-09-20T21:50:00.000-05:00Lord Jesus, I am going to step out in faith believ...Lord Jesus, I am going to step out in faith believing in the plan You have for Logan. 'We have peace with God through You, Jesus. Through You we have access by FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh perseverance, and perserverance, character and character, hope: and hope does not disappoint.' Romans 5:1-5 Lord, I do not understand why Jodi and Ryan are suffering through this but I thank you for their dependance on you and the way their faith is bolstering the faith of others. If tribulation results in character, Logan and Olivia should be quite the characters! Thank you for your promise Lord that hope does not disappoint. Over and over I read of Your miracles and what You seem to require is belief. I believe Lord that You will heal Logan and strengthen Olivia. I believe that You will provide Jodi with a peace that passeth all understanding, that is more effective and long-lasting than Percocet. 'Now may the God of hope fill Jodi with all joy and peace in BELIEVING so that she will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.' Romans 15:13 May Jodi abound in hope and abide in hope. What wonderful words: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love. They appear over and over in Scripture. Give them to Jodi at this moment, Lord Jesus, as a lifeline to cling to in her pain and sorrow. Amen.<BR/>LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-11339509696390121472007-09-20T21:22:00.000-05:002007-09-20T21:22:00.000-05:00We have no idea what you are going through, but ca...We have no idea what you are going through, but can totally understand your anger and questioning of God.
