You may have heard it, by Ginny Owens? She is blind but that hasn't stopped for one beat toward using the gifts God gave her to bring Him glory!<br />Maybe you can find some comfort in her words.<br /><br />I don't know you, but I have and will continue to pray for you and sweet Lucy!!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVYRc7LtvUA<br /><br /><br />"The pathway is broken <br />And The signs are unclear <br />And I don't know the reason why You brought me here <br />But just because You love me the way that You do <br />I'm gonna walk through the valley <br />If You want me to <br /><br />Chorus: <br />Cause I'm not who I was <br />When I took my first step <br />And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet <br />so if all of these trials bring me closer to you <br />Then I will walk through the fire <br />If You want me to <br /><br />It may not be the way I would have chosen <br />When you lead me through a world that's not my home <br />But You never said it would be easy <br />You only said I'd never go alone <br /><br />So When the whole world turns against me <br />And I'm all by myself <br />And I can't hear You answer my cries for help <br />I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through <br />And I will go through the valley If You want me to"Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679747907991515859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-39006004615068420022011-04-20T21:01:36.259-05:002011-04-20T21:01:36.259-05:00Boundaries = Love...you are loving your children w...Boundaries = Love...you are loving your children well!

When my teammates and I heard about Lucy we knew we wanted to do something to help you guys out. Last season the woman who took up our gate money passed away and we had a fundraiser game in her memory, and planned to have one every season. This year we decided to have the game in honor of Lucy. We have already started selling our own version of team Lucy shirts and we know many people are planning to attend the game. We would like to donate all of the money we raise from the gate, tshirts, concession stand, and anything else on that night to your family. The game is Tuesday April 26 at our home field located behind Munford Middle School. We chose this date because we are playing Covington and hope that will draw a large crowd. The jv plays at 5pm and varsity starts at 6:30.<br />Ella will do great playing softball, she's in a great sport :)<br />As always we will keep Lucy in our prayers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361652064390471445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-21647102743577138182011-04-20T14:52:57.722-05:002011-04-20T14:52:57.722-05:00Praying for sweet Lucy.

My oldest son is 7, he was acting out recently not wanting to go to church, I had to take away his favorite thing, basketball for 1 day, it straightened him up but sure made me feel horrible and broke my heart. I can only imagine that feeling for you is magnified a trillion times but you are doing the right thing! <br /><br />Blessings from our family to yours!!Clementsville: Population of 5!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01239031359286831605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-38135847007311430232011-04-20T13:22:46.821-05:002011-04-20T13:22:46.821-05:00So happy you are with family...nothing more import...So happy you are with family...nothing more important! <br />Remembering those days of throwing up, while doing homework. yeah, not easy. I remember though too that my mom always made me tow the line- with a little extra grace on the side. It is a mommy's job even when it is really hard. I think you probably feel like you are tough, but really just doing what you need to do :)<br /><br />PLAY BALL :)"Are These Kids All Yours?"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17946903135252874458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-51852014110583046372011-04-20T11:45:40.507-05:002011-04-20T11:45:40.507-05:00I can't imagine how hard it can be to discipli...I can't imagine how hard it can be to discipline Lucy, but it is soo important that she does her PT and in the long run i think she would rather have her walking skills than her dsi 8-) Also dont forget she is also has this part that is still just a NORMAL kid that is going to do normal kid stuff and get on her parents nerves, not listen to her parents, and so on. I just wanted to say good for you for still treating her like the kid she is and will continue to be, it's hard because the cancer is so in your face, but she sounds like one smart cookie and knows that you are being her mom and you do what you do because you love her.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356447633661772752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-67030532150352855272011-04-20T10:47:29.480-05:002011-04-20T10:47:29.480-05:00We are going through the same thing--Kellan has re...We are going through the same thing--Kellan has responded SO much better when we stick to the rules we have at home--it's almost like she's saying, "Hey, this is not so bad that they will let me do whatever I want." It is hard on me though--part of me wants to let her do and say whatever she wants to and I feel like she has the RIGHT to have an attitude, with everything going on. You put all of those feelings into words well. We continue to pray for Lucy's healing.<br /><br />--Sarah Good (another St. Jude mom)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389232713546117883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-41957207942341632402011-04-20T08:56:55.070-05:002011-04-20T08:56:55.070-05:00I know life is NOT normal, but at the same time th...I know life is NOT normal, but at the same time this is one of the most normal sounding posts in a while!

It was just too hard on them. Someone commented on her post by thanking her for giving the gift of an authentic perspective on what's going on and promised to take that knowledge to other relationships.<br />When I read this I immediately thought of you.<br />Thank you for sharing an authentic perspective on what's going on.<br /><br />One other note, I played softball for 10 years and even though I wasn't terribly talented I loved every minute of it. I'm sure Ella will enjoy it as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815162014039013334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-82001596092458526382011-04-20T07:20:29.208-05:002011-04-20T07:20:29.208-05:00Softball in IN is HUGE.
