I feel so convicted that my faith is so small and inadequate. I have been in the valley for quite a while now and felt that God was distant, not hearing me, all of the above. Then, last night we had an answer to prayer and now I am reading your blog about Beautiful Chrissy. There are no words to express how my spirit feels woken up as you describe her battle for life. I will be praying for her with renewed sense of purpose and FAITH. I believe that She WILL RUN AND JUMP AND PLAY AGAIN AS A HAPPY 4YR old should!! I will go home and thank God for my precious blessings and repent for all my grumbling and moaning. Thank you for sharing your daughter's precious story. I will be praying.<br />Blessings,<br />MelanieMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821737661732142946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-25492315623157181352010-04-30T14:36:06.724-05:002010-04-30T14:36:06.724-05:00I have been coming by every day to see how your li...I have been coming by every day to see how your little Serbian princess is doing.

I'm a public school teacher and I learned this morning that I need to read your blog WAY before school or after if I don't want students asking me, "Why are you crying??". Chrissy's story is truly amazing and an awesome testimony of how GREAT our God is!! Thank you SO much for sharing this journey with all of us. I have never met you, (but we are sisters in Christ.) I had HUGE tears last night as my husband and I were praying for Chrissy. I was so scared to read your blog this morning, but it was the best news I think I've EVER heard! Your cardiologist going to Nineveh! Only God could orchestrate THAT! Amazing!! Again, thank you so much for sharing Chrissy's story!! What a blessing she is! I'll continue to pray and tell EVERYONE I know to do so too!<br /><br />In Him,<br />AmberTXTeacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825209300387408270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-83446506115403182102010-04-29T23:24:18.546-05:002010-04-29T23:24:18.546-05:00We are rejoicing with you and praying continuously...We are rejoicing with you and praying continuously for Chrissie and your entire family. <br /><br />I wish I could hop on a plane and come sit with you and pray with you.

It takes a special servant of the Lord to broadcast His testimony so that all the nations can know His love and power. Our family has grown closer to the Lord during the last 12 days, praying around the clock for Princess Chrissie, even our 3 year old, Annabelle. She told me this morning that when Chrissie got better she wanted to play dress up with her and share her Sleeping Beauty dress with her. We are looking forward to that day! Until then, since we are your neighbors, please tell us how we can help....bring a meal to your family, transport your children, bring them here to play...just name it! <br />In His Love, The Behrhorst FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-18377044283556368802010-04-29T22:14:15.613-05:002010-04-29T22:14:15.613-05:00Oh Lorraine!

It's so wonderful to hear she was able to roll over on her side to give her backside some relief, and that so many people have come forth and blessed you with food and gifts! We are all continuing to pray, and as someone else had posted, I have certainly learned what it means to pray without ceasing!<br /><br />It's great also to hear how God has blessed his faithful servants, and how positive and faith-filled your blog posts are when many of us would be deep in despair and thinking negatively. <br /><br />You all are the perfect family for Chrissie - God couldn't have found or picked anyone better!
