Two quick things....
1. Totally discouraged that I got a call this morning from the DOC and the officer told me that there hasn't been enough time yet since I completed my sentence to file for an annulment... but, they're still keeping my $100. So, please be praying because I've decided I'm going to ask for a hearing. I'll keep you posted.
2. I was invited to speak at a local public high school - and tomorrow is the big day. I have no idea what I'm going to say at this point. I am not really sure what she is expecting. I asked what she wanted me to say and she said "just share your experience" I asked if there was anything she didn't want me to say and she said "nope". I know my story is my story, but it feels a bit different trying to explain it to teenagers in a public school.
I asked her if I could show my slideshow (the 'remembering Rachel' one) and she said yes and she wanted to know if it was ok if they asked questions and I was completely fine with that. I don't feel nervous yet... but I'm unsure of how to do this. I've only talked in public about Rachel at her walk and at her funeral... and I sobbed through both. I am confident that God has a purpose in this - and that someone in that room will someday know why they heard about a sweet baby girl named Rachel in their high school class. I hope I'll be blessed to hear about it, but even if I never do, I know that this is a detail in God's plan. I'll just try to follow His lead. Can you pray for that? It's at 1:00.
Thank you ♥
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
This will be perfect opportunity for Rachel's life to win a soul for the Lord, change and touch lives. She has touched so many of our lives so I know that she will touch the children's. I will be saying a prayer for you!!! For lives to be changed, souls saved, and strength for you!!! Sending (((HUGS))) your way!!!
