In church for our Easter service, the pastor said something that made me think of you and your family. He was talking about how God has a plan, and everything happens according to His will, which we've all heard before. But then he reminded us that God hates suffering just as much as we do. God hates Lucy's cancer as much as you do! Yes, he is allowing it to happen according to his Divine purpose, but that doesn't mean His heart isn't breaking just like yours... It made me stop and realize what an amazing loving Father he is. When you suffer, He suffers, and I hope that through His peace you also find peace.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585893261972439671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-71132988094860378422011-04-25T10:14:48.650-05:002011-04-25T10:14:48.650-05:00Hello!

Reading about Lucy in the days before my own surgery gave me so much strength. What I have endured is so small, compared to the struggles of your precious little girl. She is so strong. And so are you. <br /><br />Three years ago, I sat in the hospital for 25 days beside my newborn son. He was almost a month old before we made it home for the first time. Now he is a healthy, crazy three year old and our time in the hospital is a distant memory. I pray that you will also get to a time when your days beside the hospital bed are just a memory. That this will be a time you look back on and can't believe you lived through it. You and Lucy and the rest of your family will be so changed by this experience. But brighter days are ahead. You have so many pulling for you and praying for you. If you need something, all you have to do is ask. Take care of yourself.<br />Your Friend,<br />Brandy Wade<br />www.ourethiopiandaughter.weebly.comBrandy Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161885111936637875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-30512069230747547672011-04-25T09:38:25.853-05:002011-04-25T09:38:25.853-05:00My name is Jessica and I am a 30 year old woman wh...My name is Jessica and I am a 30 year old woman who lives in Jacksonville, FL. You don't know me but I follow your blog daily and I must say you are quite empowering. I just want to say thank you for sharing your story w/us all. When I was 13 yrs old I lost my mother from cancer so I feel your pain. Just as you love your daughter Lucy and she is your everything-- my mother was my everything as well. My life has forever been changed because of her loss and I just pray that Lucy stays strong so you will never have to feel that pain from loss as I did. My prayers are with you and your family during this trying time... Go Lucy Go!<br /><br />JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217972381070804713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-34692938087044905242011-04-25T08:27:06.400-05:002011-04-25T08:27:06.400-05:00We continue to pray for your family and for sweet ...We continue to pray for your family and for sweet Lucy.

I love the music on this site. You are encouraging so many with your story of trials and tribulations. I am sorry this is the way that you are having to do it, but it is the path that has been put before you. I appreciate your honesty and your transparency. I am not a great writer, so it is hard to truly convey my heart for you and your family, but I appreciate your honesty. The road of remaining faithful is rough, when your heart is breaking so....but clearly you are grounded with steady feet and you are fully armored with a helmet of salvation, a breastplate of righteousness, a belt of truth, armed with the sword of the word and the shield of prayer...God always prevails!!!<br /><br />Happy Easter...Christ is risen on the glorious day and Lucy Krull is still here to celebrate it with you all.
