Please keep our family in your prayers today. We are going through a difficult time. I don't know how to blog about it just yet, but I will in a few days. We know God is good, and we continue to praise Him even in hard times.

Hello, I just wanted to de-lurk to say we will be praying for you and your beautiful family. I can't remember when I found your blog, and I can't explain how you have touched the hearts of our three children (they are 15,10 and 9yrs old.) I check my emails and blogs before they get up, and often they will ask how Ava is before they ask how I am! We have had so many discussions, about so many varied things which have been sparked off by your entries. I'm sorry to hear you are having a difficult time, I hope the cloud pass soon.
God bless you,
Samantha in the middle of England.
Charissa,

rachel
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

And from the middle of Mexico, just happens that the Opa and Oma, know what you are facing, and we've wept, knowing your situation more fully. We used your case last night in a men's study, how difficult it is for some theologians to accept that pain is also part of the process...that can be good in the end.

Delurking here as well. I will pray for you and yours with all my might. I am heartsick to think about what might burden you. You have been a blessing in my life...a little message from God to me...everyday I read your blog.
May God continue to bless you and yours.

Still praying for you Charissa and family. You all have been a blessing to me as you share a slice of your life with us all. Your sense of humor and the amazing way your family sticks together and everyone shares in the joy and the pain and grows together, has been such an inspiration to me and my family.

Delurking again to tell you what a wonderful blessing you are to my life and as I read so many others. My heart went out to you as soon as I read your post. I knew what happened. God is there taking care of it all. His mercy is upon you as you and your family go through this. My prayers will go to your family for a peace that only the Lord can give to you at this time.

Praying for God to envelope you in his love like only he can do. He has a perfect plan. We are praying for you and thinking about you and knowing that God is in control.

Charissa,
I've been reading your blog since you brought Ava home. Someone posted about your newest daughter on the DSIE group (Down Syndrome Info Exchange). I just praise God that he has allowed your family to "raise up" little Ava from her sad existence and give her a mommy and daddy, brothers and sisters, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles and cousins, so many friends... and a whole new life! It is like a resurrection! I can see her coming to life in the pictures and videos that you post.
I think I know what you may be dealing with. A sweet online friend is also going through a difficult time. You totally accepted and embraced what you believed to be God's will for your family, and now you are confused, because suddenly things changed. Only God foreknew this all along, thus HIS PLAN has NOT CHANGED! Even though you are hurting now and will hurt for some time, His plan is still for you and John and your four precious children to keep loving on Ava with all your energy. She's got a LONG way to go yet, but she is ON HER WAY, thanks to you and the GRACE of GOD! And other dreams will be fulfilled in HIS time!
GOD's BEST!
Anna (mom to 9, young son w DS)
praying for you and your beautiful family
Prayers from the LLH family...may peace and comfort be granted to your family.
Love,
Miss Kate
Big Hugs to you and your family!
Praying Charissa, our thoughts are with you right now.

My dear 'kids'
The Lord is merciful and gracious to those who's heart is centered on HIM. You have God's favor and He will not let you down. There is hope, and there is faith, and I have both of them right now for you within God's will. You are surrounded in prayer and I know you know that...I love you.Aunt Sharon
Love You!
