It is Nate's birthday today. I miss him... everyday.


With Hope - Steven Curtis Chapman

This is not at all how we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans, we had so many dreams
And nothing we can say, and nothing we can do
Can take away the pain, the pain of losing you
And never have I known anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more the wisdom of God's plan

And I imagine you where you most wanted to be
Seeing all your dreams come true 'cause now you're home
And now you're free

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything God promised us is true
There's a place by God's grace where we'll see your face again

We wait with hope
We ache with hope
We hold on with hope

Hey Rosanna, God prompted me to pray for you today as I got up and again as I am heading to bed. In fact, I just got out of bed to check your blog for the first time in a very long time. I had no idea it is Nate's birthday but the Holy Spirit continues to prompt people to uphold you. Let that be Jesus' gentle arm around your shoulder as you continue to press into Him during an unbelievably difficult time. I love that you continue to be real. I will continue to be faithful in asking God to meet you hour by hour. With my love and prayers,
Heather Smith

My heart aches for home with you. My words are empty, but please know I ache with you. "And now you're free" strikes a deep chord. 10 more sleeps till we're together. I love you Sweetheart.

I woke up on Sunday morning with the strongest thoughts of you. The feeling that I needed to pray for you. And then i remembered... it was Nate's birthday. The Spirit was moving.
Can't imagine how hard that day (and every other day) must have been for you. I prayed long and hard for you. And do every day.

Wow, what beautiful words in that song. I've been thinking of you lots as I know this month is not going to be easy (not saying that the other days and months were easier) for you. You will be in our thoughts and talks with Dad a lot.
