Semi Colon – please pray!

Michael

(original blog post at Semi Colon) Thursday, September 23, 2010 Nausea Sorry for no update in a while! I’ve been sleeping pretty much all the time, hence, no blogging!

Real faith…put to the ultimate test

Michael

Good Morning America just aired an exclusive interview with the Steven Curtis Chapman family on the loss of their youngest daughter, Maria Sue. Maria was struck by the family vehicle in the driveway. Robin, from GMA, asked the family how they could get through such a difficult loss. Their answer: faith! They live with an unwavering hope. They still have questions, but they do not question their faith! They still grieve the loss of little Maria, but they know that God has made her whole. They are certain they will see her again one day in heaven! Continue to pray … Continue reading Real faith…put to the ultimate test
