You are very strong and I am very proud of you for hanging in there these past eight days. You have a great family who love you very much and so many people are praying for you to feel better! I have two kids about your size and another child who is your little brother's age and would love to have you and your parents and brothers and sisters over to play when you are feeling better!

I grew up in the Episcopal church and have wandered away from organized religion over the years. But, after being guided to your blog, I have found myself ON MY KNEES, paying to God, begging Him to heal you, Sweet Chrissie. As I'm on my knees, I think of your beautiful smile... so big... and those cheeks...and I get chills. You have changed this world already, and you have no idea. Stay strong, beautiful girlie. You are a fighter and are here to do more AMAZING things...

You are obviously a beautiful girl on the outside. And from your mom's stories here, I know you are also beautiful on the inside! I'm thankful that God is using your story to tell others of His love and of His son! I pray for you often, and I pray for your daddy & mommy, too. You are already a miracle, a beautiful princess, a strong fighter. Stay strong, and you'll soon be with your family, enjoying lots of chocolate and being pampered just as a true princess should!<br /><br />Love,<br />Jenn in GeorgiaZack, Jenn and Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535671976007119533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-46828466228272668732010-04-26T00:16:38.566-05:002010-04-26T00:16:38.566-05:00Hi Chrissie,

Know that each day you live, through each trial, you are testifying to the grace you have received and the power of God in your life. When your work is done, you will sit with Him in Heaven.

Everytime I look at a picture of you, you are smiling and it makes me smile too! <br /> You remind me a little of me when I was a little girl with your dark hair and dark eyes. But mostly, you make me smile because of how STRONG you are and how much you LOVE Jesus and your life with your family. Did you know, Chrissie that soooo many people are praying for you to get well? I am praying for you every day, several times a day. I can't wait til you can leave that hospital where those nice doctors are taking such GOOD care of you and go home with your family. I can't wait to see a picture of Princess Chrissie laughing and dancing! I don't know you but I love you Chrissie! Stay strong, ok?

You showed us how to live in pure joy despite a thorn in our side, how to make every person a special friend, and how to live every single minute God gives us to the very fullest. I want you to know that I dream about getting more of those big enthusiastic hugs around my neck one day soon. I love you so much, Miss Christyn Joy.<br /><br />I smile every time I think of the way you say ‘I want some Stephanie!!’ when you want to spend time with me. I don’t know if you’ve ever just said a plain old ‘good bye’ to me; it’s always ‘Good bye, I love you’! Can you imagine how wonderful that makes me feel?? And you offer up that kind of joy bringing love freely and often. Amazing!! <br /><br />Another one of my favorite things is when you are on my lap and we read together. We take turns, I read a little bit and then you say ‘Chrissie’s turn now’. You point your finger at each line of type as if you are reading, and babble on in an English sounding stream of words, ending in ‘Amen’. Then it is my turn again, and on and on. It is all I can do to stop myself from giggling and squeezing you in a big hug, but you really ARE reading to me in your own way, and so I listen, enthralled, instead. <br /> <br />I love the way you ask why people are ‘bossing’ you, how you say ‘peeps and poops’, and your dainty oh-so-Southern polite way of saying ‘I no love that’ (instead of ‘yuck!’) I love the way you play hide and seek and say ‘look over here’ when we say ‘wheeeerrrre’s Chrissie’, giving away your hiding place. I love your little green booster seat at the table, and I want you to know that it is there waiting for you. No one else uses that chair because it is YOUR chair. We adore your love of pink bling, and your tendency to put on every bracelet in sight, even if your arm is already covered in jewelry up to your elbow! In fact, you still think your name is ‘Christyn Jewelry’ instead of ‘Christyn Joy’, and I do believe you’d actually prefer it that way :-) Angel, when you come home to us, we will be glad to call you ‘Christyn Jewelry’ for as long as you like!!<br /><br />You are a precious gift from God above, and we thank Him every day for His generosity in letting us know you and love you. And boy do we ever LOVE YOU!!! It is almost 9:00 on Sunday night and I need to go do our nightly devotional with Parker, Mattie, Meribeth, and Sawyer. Kiefer is almost asleep, and Emily just went back home to take care of Cookie and Mijo. You’ve been a part of this routine dozens and dozens of times, remember? Well we do, and it just isn’t the same without you here. I know it must be hard to keep fighting and putting up with all of those strange hospital smells, tubes, and medicines. But please keep fighting!!! It will be worth it, sweet baby girl, because when you come home you’ll see Emily, Parker, Meribeth, Mattie, Buckshot and Kiefer. You will hold your Barney doll, play with your brothers and sisters, wear your princess crown, and do devotionals in the loving circle of your family once again. We’re praying for you on Miracle Monday and every other day too. Pretend that Miss Stephanie is giving you a big hug right now; I’ll be waiting for you to come home to hug me right back!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052573509050485072.post-66131569528735392072010-04-25T21:52:12.583-05:002010-04-25T21:52:12.583-05:00Chrissie, you are such a beautiful Serbian Princes...Chrissie, you are such a beautiful Serbian Princess and I know you can fight your way through this.
