"Refuse to fall down.
If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven and like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled and it will be filled.
You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart to heaven--only you.
It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear.
The one who says nothing good came of this, is not yet listening."

Sometimes Blogging Hurts

Learning of all these babies and children struggling, fighting, winning, losing and dying is so very hard. My heart literally aches and tears stream from my eyes. I feel so helpless as I read through the families pains, struggles and losses.

Two blogs in particular need a lot of prayer right now:



Kayleigh Anne Freeman has been fighting for her life and has lived her entire 10 months in the NICU. She has taken a bad turn for the worse and may have extensive brain damage. The family is asking for prayers and if you can take a moment and take a photo with you and/or your family while holding a sign saying "Praying for Kaleigh from _____" The family has requested this so they can make a video and help comfort them.

Last update from Twitter:

4/24 - Unfortunately, there has been no progression today with Kayleigh. They do another EEG tomorrow. Pray we get better news. God Bless,

Prayers for Stellan


Another family in need of prayers is Stellan's family.

He recently had surgery for his heart and he has had some ups and downs but they find themselves facing the possibility that the surgery did not help his condition. He is so sweet and his mother has been so open about her feelings and frustrations through this process.

I cannot even begin to imagine what these families are going through.

Please visit their blogs. Please pray for them and lend your support by posting their buttons and getting the word out so more people can be aware of their stories and the prayers can continue to pour in for these babies, for their families, for our entire family here on the blog-o-sphere.

Thank you & God Bless.
