I had seen this blog on a friends blog (that sounds confusing.) And I started to read it. My friend had asked everyone who read her blog to pray for this family. I looked at the blog and started to read. This family, had two boys and the third one from what I read was born a little early. I didn't read the blog from the beginning, so I don't know if the baby was born premature or maybe the problems were going on and they had to induce. Needless to say the baby was born with heart and kidney problems. He lived for I think 4 weeks and then ended up going up to the Lord. This family had such a strong relationship with God. I have never seen a couple like them. Even in this hard situation they were praying to God for strength and thanking him for the time they got to spend with their son. I was just in awe and amazed with their relationship with God and their faith.
I almost feel like God directed me to their blog. Lately, I have not had the best relationship with God. I mean yes, I am a Christian however, I have not read my bible in a very long time. Also, when I came down here for college I tried finding a church that I liked and after trying a couple I just couldn't find one I liked so I just kind of gave up...Not cool!! About a month ago Ryan and I had run into a rocky point in our marriage I felt like we needed to start going back to church and just really needed the Lord to enter our life and help us heal our marriage...we needed to have a good Christian marriage and we had lost sight of that. We both decided we needed to start going to church; however, we didn't.
After reading this family's blog I started weeping. I wanted to have that faith, that relationship I used to have with God before I came to college. I talked to Ryan and we plan on starting back church. I think it is very important for Kale to be a child who knows God and grows up in church having a good relationship with the Lord.
I just really wanted to blog about this because it was heavy on my heart. I think God is always watching out for us and trying to send us signs guiding us back to him when we fall wayside.

Keica, I have been going back through our blog from last August and came across your post, so I found your blog. Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. I am praying that the Lord is working continually in your heart to draw you closer to Him and to show you His great and wonderful love for you. And I will pray that you and Ryan have a marriage founded on the Lord and His goodness. Thanks again for your words that have blessed me.
