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.

We Still Believe
Here it is...my promised project...
(pause music at bottom of blog first so you can hear it)
WOW, so powerful for a new christian, who came to Christ while reading your blogs.
Before I was a christian, one thing stopping me was how could God do this to a mother, children and parents separated, so much suffering.Then I read your blogs, watched as Rachel danced with you, as you carried her, and Jesus carried you. I couldn't understand your faith, your love of Jesus. I prayed, and I was not even a believer, but "if" there was a God, I hoped He would hear.
I found a christian chat site, to ask questions about the bible verses you posted,and started to learn about God, that Jesus died for my sin, Yay.
Though the seed was planted in me earlier, you watered it, and through the birth of Rachel, reading your blogs, scripture, and chatting with other christians, I now believe, and am saved.
You give me so much encouragement in my walk with God, and I never new how to tell you.
I can now say, not "if" there is a God, but yes, there IS a GOD, and as I look back , even when I denied Him, He did not deny me, he new I was being watered, and fed from His words, through your blogs, Yay, God is good.
I will always remember how I came to really know the love of Jesus.
Wow! Eve, what a testimony of God's goodness! Stacy, absolutely beautiful! I have tears pouring down my face right now, because for how strong my faith is, it is still weak. We have been facing some really difficult trials as a family for more than a year now with no end in sight(all the details are not important), but that song and those pictures brought me back to the simple truth that I simply need to keep believing and trusting in the God who is in control. Bottom line. I don't need to know the whys, I just need to glorify Him through these dark days and He will make it clear some day. He is faithful, end of story!
Thank you again for sharing.
Thank you God for your goodness and for these journeys of tears and suffering, because in them we become more like you. Still praying, Carrie xo
