Please pray for Greg, Jen and the Batiansila’s. Sometime in the night God called home their daughter Zoe.
This is a poem I wrote for Gods newest most precious angel.
While our broken world lay sleeping, the angels gathered round,
Around a tiny little angels bed, yet they did not make a sound.
Patiently they waited for Him to send the word,
To bring home His precious little one away from this worlds hurt.
And somewhere in the quiet came a whisper in the wind,
"now’s the time, she’s fought her fight, its time for her to LIVE."
On angels wings they carried her up to Gods great throne
In his arms at last He whispers, My Zoe welcome home.
I cannot imagine the pain Jen and Greg must feel. Please pray. Pray for the other children. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and all of those who Zoe touched in her much too short time on this earth.
To Zoe. The fighter. You taught me so much. For your life I am thankful. Rest in His arms, sweet precious Zoe.

2010
Its a new year. Another day. I made a post on my facebook which read, "2010. I don't intend to make a New Years resolution. I have decided not to lie to myself or others so why lie about what I am gonna do this year. One thing I know for sure, I am gonna breathe in and then out again and hope for a better tomorrow." I am sure we all think about what we are going to do this new year. Things we want to accomplish, places we would like to see, things we want to do.
Had you asked me a year ago today what I was looking forward to in 2009, I would have said rebuilding my life with my husband and son. Celebrating another year with my dad and mom, spending time with my granny. Being a part of the family which made me who I am. Loving those around me and being loved. Never in my wildest dreams could I have ever imagined what God had in store for me. I would have never thought that God would decide that 2009 was the year my momma would grace heavens gates. That on the morning of February 12, he would call her home. I never would have imagined the devastation her leaving this world for a better place would cause. I didn't think that I would say good bye to a brother in law in less than one month. That he would battle a serious liver disease only to die in a car accident. I never imagined I would be moving into the home my mom and dad raised me in because my dad had gotten remarried and moved to the city. 2009 has been a whole other kind of year. One that I have never before been confronted with. My faith has been tried and I am not sure that I have much left, but all He asked for is as much as a grain of mustard seed. Hope is hanging in by a thin thread, but there is still hope. In 2009 I lost so much. I lost my best friend, my momma. She was a pillar of strenth. She held me up when I thought I would fall and taught me how to stand. I miss her. But God gave has given her total healing and a peace like you and I have never known. I need her, I miss her but I have a promise that I will see her again and that is all I can hope for.
If there is one thing I know it is, when you fall down its often hard to get back up and when you finally get to your feet its hard to get steady. But if you put your faith in God and believe that he is there and he has control and he is taking care of you, you can make it through. I have learned that nothing is impossible and that we have no promise of tomorrow so lets live for today. Take nothing for granted. Be thankful for all the things you are blessed with.
