We have some thoughts and questions and things that we just want to put on paper (or computer) for our own benefit. For me and myself, I’ve been having tons of thoughts, and some that I just want to put on this page, for me.
I’ll be gathering them and will post something this weekend
plus we’ll add a picture of our angel Jane!
We continue to keep you in our prayers – we cannot feel the pain that you have but wish there was a way to take it away for you, to make everything better and perfect NOW! We know that God promised to do us good, and this certainly doesn’t feel like “good” … somewhere in all this there is a plan of love and mercy and grace, and so we are “confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day Christ Jesus.” Phil 1:6 In these times of trial we can turn away from our God and lose all hope, or we can turn toward Him with all of our questions, anger, anxiety, fears, hopes, and loss, and cry out to Him. We pray that God will continue to hold onto you and your hearts, that he will grant you peace, and rest, and comfort. Thinking of you both with love.
Our hearts continue to grieve for you both as you begin the long process of healing. Daniel and Fetha, you have been in our prayers from the minute we heard about the Jane’s heart condition, and you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers throughout this journey. Words cannot even begin to express the intense pain that you both share at this terrible loss. Precious Jane was an angel who served her mission here on earth and when done was called back to our Lords arms. We question “why”, and although search for an answer can never be satisfied. We ask “what if”, but cannot begin to understand… Jane was a beautiful gift, her journey was a holy one, which although short had affected so many people. She sits on our Lords lap now, no pain or breathing tubes. Her lungs are able to fill with the sweet love breathed by our Lord. She is finally healthy. But for you her parents, this healing process is so very difficult. Always cling to each other as you both seek out the Lord in this journey. He is the ultimate source of comfort and peace. I pray that he wraps his arms around you both and carries you through this difficult time, just as described in the “footprints” poem. My heart continues to ache for the two of you, but the Lord promises “where there are two or more gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them”. We love you both!
This is good, you’re in a time of mourning and if venting will help people are here for you guys.
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Dear Daniel, I was so glad to see a update from you! I hope and pray that this help your healing process. As a Baboonya I feel tremendous pain which does not even compare or come close to what yous are feeling. Everyone says to “Give it time,” i wish the time was here! But I also know that God has a plan and of course, Patience is part of that plan! I anxiously await ur thoughts and Hope and Pray that you receive answers and are comforted by them. Remember that God is with you and for you! You face nothing alone! Love, Mom K
Daniel and Elizabeth,
I was so sad for you both when I found out that Jane had passed on to Heaven. I really wanted to make it to her funeral but found out too late. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you. Jane touched my heart in that short amount of time that I took care of her and I know she is a beautiful angel in heaven.
