I am catching up on your blogs Darren and I must say that the words on the screen are very blurry for me…that was a beautiful post!! I keep Misty’s picture right on my dresser mirror so I can see her BEAUTIFUL smile everyday. I truly admire you…and you really are such an amazing father to your little lady!!
xoxo,
Tracey

She looks so pretty in her little dress! How do you ever put that child down? She is too cute! You’re a wonderful Daddy Darren. :)

Yes–how true it is that God has made a person of great faith thru your suffering. I am still a work in process with all of the trials in this life and especially now, I know that He is definatly wanting to continue to change me as with all of us. The trouble is that I usually have a very hard time–to just let Him have all the control. Darren I wish I had half of the spiritual growth that you have, but we are all different and always a work in progress.

Just am SO grateful that is Love is always there, no matter what.

I went through something similar when my daughter was first born. I did not have much faith at that time and through that struggle, my faith as grown leaps and bounds. I know that every day is a gift.

Youre wife’s words and life story are a reminder to me why God is so important.

You know, I’ve missed reading your thoughts. I still check in – just to see… This was a beautiful post. I admire you for your faith – the faith you stood in with Misty – the faith you walk in now – and the faith for a beautiful future for your daughter. Suffering does make it’s mark on all of us – and so does blessing. You and Olivia are living examples of blessings in the midst of suffering. Thank you for sharing your heart and showing us how to live and walk in faith – and victory.

Hi Darren and Olivia,

I have been thinking about both of you and, of course, Misty. I don’t really have a lot to add. Not sure that I need to. Just wanted to say hi.

Yes, it DOES. Suffering does change us in a way we could never imagine! But there is something we can never lose…our faith in God! Not even in the worst of our sufferings does He fail.
