Leslie's struggle, your struggle, your grappling with faith and hope and acceptance of God's will... all of this has given countless people a broader context for their own lives... a vision of the hope of eternity that is at once real and immediate, and mysterious and beyond the bounds of our temporal world. Leslie understands all this now in a way that we can't. But we can each open the eyes and ears of our hearts to catch that occasional flash of color, that strain of music, that draw us forward with hints of what we hope for but cannot yet see. Your blog has been a little window that opens onto eternity, letting through some wisps of the unknowable, tantalizing and pure. It is only by the hand of an all powerful and loving God that what we can only see as a tragic loss from this side of eternity could move mightily in the hardened hearts of men. Softer hearts now, a little less blind. May God bless you and TJ tenderly each day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-37348152804186764032008-08-10T17:21:00.000-05:002008-08-10T17:21:00.000-05:00A song we sang at church this morning comes to min...A song we sang at church this morning comes to mind as I read your blog tonight.<BR/>"Hear me, O Lord, hear me when I cry<BR/>Lord, do not hide your face from me<BR/>You have been my help, you have been my shield<BR/>And you will lift me up."<BR/>One of the ways He lifts us up is through His Body on earth. <BR/>"But Moses' hands became heavy so....Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side; and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."

I'm glad you know you are never alone! You, Tj, and Leslie will always have a place in my heart! We think of you so much and pray for you often. I'm sure this next chapter of your life will not be without struggle but it's comforting to see how you and Tj are finding your way. As I have seen first hand you have an amazing family that is going to help see you through this. We look forward to seeing you in Archbold in a few weeks.

Thank you for sharing such personal thoughts with your online "family" and prayer warriors. You have touched many hearts and glorified God in the process. <BR/><BR/>TJ is SO blessed to have had a mother and a father who love Jesus SO much. I can only imagine that one day, when he is a little bit older, he will sit down and read Leslie's journey-- your journey-- and grow closer to Jesus through it.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774715994840410408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-60566102597971810312008-08-08T19:29:00.000-05:002008-08-08T19:29:00.000-05:00Tyson - Thank for continuing to share.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the fire, you will not be burned. And when Tyson emerges from these trials, LORD let Tyson know that YOU are the LORD, that YOU are his God, that YOU are the Holy One of Israel, and that YOU are his Savior.

Your strength and determination to move forward with love and courage for yourself and TJ are examples of God's loving hands holding you up to the love that surrounds you. It is very inspiring that you continue to touch so many hearts along your journey. I hope you continue to find comfort from all of us that pray for you and TJ. It proves you don't have to know someone personally to care and pray for them.

Not even in our greatest triumphs did he ever intend that. Please know that you have a million warriors standing beside you during your times of need and beyond.

They were continuously asked if they lost faith, do they blame God, and etc. And they said no and also thanked the so many who have supported them, that they too, do not even know, in the most heartbreaking moment of their lives; losing their 5 year old daughter in a tragic accident. It was a wonderful testimonial they gave, as you are as well. The greatest God part of their story, their daughter drawing a flower with six petals (they have 6 kids) and one petal being colored in, and on that same paper writing for the first time a word she had never written which was SEE. The colored in petal was her, and she was saying see I am whole now and ok. She drew this the morning of the day she passed. How awesome is God for that. <BR/>I continue to pray and ask God to give you strength in all the newness of your life here on earth without your precious Leslie.<BR/>CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868083706958840588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-41103018992886822122008-08-08T11:44:00.000-05:002008-08-08T11:44:00.000-05:00I'm sure I speak for many of us that we are proud ...I'm sure I speak for many of us that we are proud to be part of your army.
