It has been SO crazy that I have not had an opportunity to comment. I have READ EVERY comment, though, and they touched my heart so much. (Some of you - I have prayed for YOU in the past through some of your struggles. Janey - I prayed for Daniel and for your littlest man through their struggles - it is amazing, truly AMAZING, how God connects us to lift each other up.) Thank you for praying for us - thank you for asking how you can be of help to us. I am praying for you all - that God would be close to you and that you would know His presence in your lives, too.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to comment, to lift our spirits. We love you all!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419728761742443893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193225017879543369.post-66082091749584302412010-05-21T00:04:35.811-05:002010-05-21T00:04:35.811-05:00Holly - I'm so glad to hear that Jeff is getti...Holly - I'm so glad to hear that Jeff is getting better.

Anyway, I came here from Connie's blog (thinking, "Surely not THAT Holly??..." with my heart in my mouth - and it WAS you), and read with baited breath all your recent news. How thankful I am that Jeff is still with you, and doing better! How I rejoiced when I read that you are expecting your 9th little treasure! It sounds like such an incredibly scary journey with Jeff's infection, and I am praying for a CLEAN hip and a healthy body in Jesus' name, and no financial troubles whatsoever.<br /><br />I will be back, and will continue praying!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399373153325849675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193225017879543369.post-84539110890127955872010-05-15T16:41:49.883-05:002010-05-15T16:41:49.883-05:00Now I understand the strong compelling to pray for...Now I understand the strong compelling to pray for you!

I came here from Connie (Smockity F...Dear Holly,<br /> I came here from Connie (Smockity Frocks) blog. As I read your post, so many emotions and memories flooded my heart. I was surprised they still felt so raw. Two years ago, May 2008, I thought my husband and very best friend on earth and father to our (at the time) 11 children would not be with us much longer. We were given little to no hope after he got very sick also suddenly and we were told he had cancer. <br />Oh, how the Lord carried us through those days. There is nothing worse than having your man so sick and weak as they are always the ones who are strong. I remember telling Daniel that if the Lord were to ever allow one of our children go home to heaven, as hard as it would be, I would still have him (Daniel) to hold on to. But if he were to go, I would have nobody. And that was one of the gentle works the Lord did in my heart that I so desparately needed then...I came to slowly but surely lean fully on the Lord. I came to realize that He is my all in all and the One who will never leave me nor forsake me. I came to realize how much I need Him like nobody else and oh the peace, comfort, hope and joy He gave as I clung to Him. <br />I will pray for you and your family, am so thankful to hear your husband is feeling better, and so happy to hear God has blessed you with another baby! <br />Remember how much God loves you! He is so faithful and good.The Lockwood Family ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/12684684628439146582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193225017879543369.post-16736173418473871182010-05-15T10:04:16.014-05:002010-05-15T10:04:16.014-05:00I will continue praying for you and your family! ...I will continue praying for you and your family!
