I Pray

I pray every morning before I post a blog. I pray that I will get something out of what I post and that others will to. I want this blog to be something that helps me grow spiritually and helps me to be a better person. It helps me to recognize the things I need to work on as I bear my testimony each day with the world. What a great thing the computer can be. Reaching out to others in a way never before. I'm so thankful to have the gospel in my life, for good friends, and family members. I'm thankful for a good neighbors that have been so gracious. We know there have been members of other religions praying for our family. I am grateful each one of those people and for there faith in Christ. These people couldn't have given us a better gift of love and we are grateful for that. Each day we still continue to have people showing us they care and it is wonderful. We love you all.

Heidi said...: You touch me! I don't even remember how I found you, I am sure it was through links of links of church friends. I pray for your sweet little family that you will bounce back from this tragedy stronger and closer together. Your blog touches me through the music. I have become a fan of the song "Don't blink" and will often set your blog on my back screen for the music. It really makes me appreciate the health and well being of my 4 children.
Love from GA

It was July 25th 2008 and it was a great day. All the kids were getting along with eachother. Ethan and I were going on vacation with a few friends and we were to leave at 5:00p.m. that evening. At about 11:00 a.m. I started packing for the trip. I caught Kamber out back playing with the hose with her cousin a couple of times. The last time Ethan and I went out back to get after the girls for playing in the hose. Ethan sprayed the girls and we chased them all back inside. Ethan went into his office and I went back into our room to pack. It was a short time after this that Kamber some how made it into the pool area. We can't figure out how it happened, we have a gate around our pool shut and locked. Nobody had been in the pool area in days. We lost site of Kamber for a few minutes but this was enough time for her to fall in the spa part of our pool and drowned. I had gone into Ethans office and said something to him and turned around to find my niece crying. I knew. I ran straight to the pool and didn't see her and then caught a glimps of her leg in the spa. It took forever to get the pool fence open , but I ran as fast as I could and pulled her out. Ethan ran in and started CPR, I called 911. The Fire Depatment came fast. They worked on her and then headed to the hospital. We already knew she was gone. I could feel her comforting arms around me. We raced to the hospital where we watched them work on her for about 10 more minutes. She was gone. They let me hold her for about 2 hrs till the medical examiner came to get her. I felt a small amount of peace and I thank my Heavenly Father for that. It was her time to return home. We are grateful for the 2 1/2 years Heavenly Father let us enjoy the beautiful person she is. We will be with her again as a family and I can't wait to raise her again. Her sisters miss her dearly, but they know she not far away and she is safe. We love our valiant angel!
