Paul Heins of First Presbyterian Church in Logan, UT. Rev. Heins says: <br />"God promises not to remove our darkness in the present, but to walk with us each step we take through it."<br /><br />another quote is from your new ??-in-law:<br />“I can’t help but wonder though, if maybe God is more present where people are desperate and devastated than He is in some some church services. When all is said and done, He does indeed, draw near to the broken hearted.” ~Becky Smith<br /><br />i lost my father 18 months ago to cancer. i have questioned what God was thinking and doing.. but those statements help me remember.brooke r.http://rivervision.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436337434445842616.post-29263490116052438862011-08-22T09:00:19.667-04:002011-08-22T09:00:19.667-04:00A reasurring post...God's ability!!!

I read Becky's blog and have followed her family for years as we both have Sarah's with Neuroblastoma. My Sarah went to Heaven. Shortly after diagnosis, a wise pastor told me that God answers ALL prayers...it's just that sometimes that answer is "no". I follow your "Sarah" and am encouraged by her beating the odds (and she has surely beaten the odds). I did rejoice with you and your family's news. I love when God says yes, but I know that even when He says no He doesn't leave me.Lisa from Georgianoreply@blogger.com
