It really helps us keep things in persepective and see that we serve a God who is mighty to save and a God who is mighty to perform miracles. During the hustle and bustle of my own life, I tend to put God on the backburner and do my own thing, forgetting that in the long-run, and even the short-run, God has orchestrated a perfect Will for my life and those who follow Him. <BR/><BR/>Our prayers continue to be with Katherine, Jay, and James during these tough times. Please give Katherine a kiss for me and let her know that we continue to think about her. We love you and thank you for your humerous, yet humble spirit, despite the troubled waters.<BR/><BR/>Your cousin,<BR/>Alex Holmesalexholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932247895220443042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668564752732504764.post-70369162545331326142008-06-30T19:54:00.000-07:002008-06-30T19:54:00.000-07:00TO PATTI, I WILL ALSO PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...TO PATTI, I WILL ALSO PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I think it’s a reflex. We laugh when we want to cry. Laughing has helped us through many difficult life situations. <BR/><BR/>I lost my child 14 months ago in an automobile accident. God responded to my heart cries of why?! Deep in my soul I heard these answers to my questions. Why did you leave me here without him? Answer: To glorify My Father in heaven. But how can I do that when it hurts so much? Answer: My grace is sufficient for you. But what am I am going to do with out him to encourage me, to make me laugh, to be my friend, my son? Answer: My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory.<BR/>God does. God is. God knows.<BR/><BR/>I have not stopped praying for you, Katherine, Jason and all the family since I first heard of the surgery. God is using your families to bring revival and draw His children to Him in prayer and intimacy. <BR/><BR/>One of my son's favorite songs was one by Rita Springer, Worth it All. I pray that one day, in heaven, when you look at the multitude who were saved because of Katherine, Jason or you, that you will say, it was worth it all.<BR/><BR/>I am trusting that I will say that too.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632687143107233682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668564752732504764.post-73807268881931942742008-06-29T18:51:00.000-07:002008-06-29T18:51:00.000-07:00Hi Kim.

I know you aren't blogging for awards, but someone sent it to me--so I am passing it on to other blogs I enjoy. I really do appreciate what you write and so do others.

I feel as though I am experiencing everything you are when I read your blogs. That's a place I can't stay long, but you make me feel so so strong by your strength. I remember when Sharon was so sick how I became such a stronger person and at a young age learned that God sustained me when I could not even breathe. You have done a wonderful job and we are all so proud of you. My family continues to pray daily for you and yours. Kat is so amazing. I can only imagine how proud you are of her.

But know that I pray for you and your entire family. Katherine is, and always will be, under the watchful eye of our Heavenly Father as she walks through this trial. Take courage that the God of the Scriptures is who He says He is, and that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

If you wait until life is perfect to do so, you’ll never get around to it. There’s always something to be stressed or sad about. But there’s usually something to celebrate as well." ... It really hit me that that's what's important. Don't wait for perfection.<BR/><BR/>I feel connected to your family yet can't place it. I'm 2 years younger than Katherine and went to Oconee County schools in GA then went to Samford where I started as a theatre major and I've now moved to the west coast (Oregon) and have pretty much been "stalking" you thru Facebook and your blog to keep updated on Katherine. Thank you for taking the time to share your life so that we can learn from it and try our best to help you by praying. We do care about you =)<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/>Katie BullockAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128948357868402416noreply@blogger.com
