Be angry. Allow yourself that permission. God is GOOD, all the time...he knows right where you are at and he understands it all. He is bottling up every tear drop. Rest in his mighty arms as you love on Lucy. I'm sorry you are hurting. You will experience the blessings that you know are to come...when you least expect them. May God's angels carry your precious daughter to his mighty arms in the most peaceful way for you.

Being through a very similar situation mysel...Kate,<br />Being through a very similar situation myself, it is totally understandable that you will go through moments of anger, and God understands that. But I also know that as you focus on Worshipping God and thanking Him for every moment He has given you with Lucy and each of your other children, husband, those you love....that will help you keep the right perspective on your situation and the right perspective towards who God is and His character. I can tell you that though you might not see it, this trial has helped you and Lucy (and no doubt many others around you) grow in their relationship to God. I watched the movie Courageous (have you seen it?) and it really helped me process what happened in my life at an early age with a right perspective of God and His love for us. EVERY MOMENT is a gift....to be here on this Earth for this short time, to experience love and give love to those God has brought in our lives or those He has given us to love (our husband, our children, friends), and most importantly the moments we take to reach out to the lost who are not saved and don't know the love of Jesus and what He has done for them. Some of what I have said might sound far off from what your post was about, but I truly believe that as we embrace a heart of thankfulness for every waking moment He has given us on this Earth, to love those He's given us, and share His love with those that are lost, it keeps us from the devil's strategy which is to walk in anger and try to taint the character of who God really is in our eyes. The devil is always accusing God to us in our minds..."If God was so good, then why...." but recognizing when those thoughts come help us battle against those thoughts and maintain our heart of gratefulness. You must guard your heart and battle those thoughts in prayer because the devil ultimately wants you to be angry at God, when the devil is the cause of sickness and disease on the earth in the first place! And when you become angry at God, the devil gets a foothold on your mind and his hope is that you will eventually turn away from Him. I hope this encouraged you somehow. :)Saenz22noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-37599112703601788382012-06-02T07:55:29.032-05:002012-06-02T07:55:29.032-05:00Continually praying for all of you.

We are very blessed to have her alive. But, she is not the woman she was before. There are so many ways that she can no longer be involved in my life and my children's. I struggle every day with who she is now and who she was before. I have often thought how hard it would be to see this in my children. I commit to pray for you. I can only imagine how much harder it is to mourn for the child you had before while fiercely loving who she now is.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-62629669904722271932012-06-01T12:48:30.946-05:002012-06-01T12:48:30.946-05:00You amaze me every single day.

I want to thank you for this blog. When I first started reading it, little did I know that my "little girl" (33) would be going through fighting a brain tumor. Your blog gives me strength. I FEEL your fear, anger and pain as a mother. I pray today that Lucy's stomach pains will be gone, as well as her nausea. Praying that the doctor visit will be a positive one. And, as always, praying for your and Eric. <br /><br />Terry Anderson SykesTerrysykes1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-70552640127099604552012-06-01T05:59:08.301-05:002012-06-01T05:59:08.301-05:00Oh Kate, I am so sorry for Lucy and you all, What ...Oh Kate, I am so sorry for Lucy and you all, What a hard road you are all on. I so would be just like you, I can not help but to be angry and mad thinking why a little girl / any little child or any person for that matter should have to go through what Lucy and others go through. I really have a hard time believing that people should have to suffer like they do. A parent lives daily to watch their child enjoy life and live it to the fullest. Then when you have to watch them struggle everyday it is enough to second guess why and what the purpose to all of this is. I can not help but be angry and then as you know when we get angry it takes so much out of us. I wish there was something I could do for you all. I hope that Erik gets feeling better. I have to say Kate your kids are so sweet and Jack has the most precious smile even though he is wild. Those smiles everyday can really keep you going I am sure. Good Luck to you all.Vermonter34noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-83402603555847584072012-06-01T04:46:17.935-05:002012-06-01T04:46:17.935-05:00My poor friend...sending you HUGS!!!
