I am one of those "strangers"...Hi, Rosie!<br />I am one of those "strangers" that reads your blog daily and who prayes for you and your family and your sweet daughter daily. We went to high school together and I think we were even in Portuguese Club together...although I am a couple of years older. I found your blog thru a mutual friend on Facebook and one of my student aides, Derek Spycher, also told me about it! <br /><br />I am deeply involved with the American Cancer Society...Relay for Life inparticular! I have met so many amazingly strong and faithful people who have gone thru this journey. I am constantly humbled by people's strength and you are no different. Your writing is so honest, raw,funny, and beautiful and I am sure so theraputic for you. Thank you for sharing! We are praying in Turlock!<br /><br />~Kristin BettencourtKristin Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088765242578002574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585904810634226473.post-14419044358893558092010-10-03T16:45:38.980-07:002010-10-03T16:45:38.980-07:00Rosy, it's been the biggest blessing to read y...Rosy, it's been the biggest blessing to read your blog and hear your heart voice through this journey. God has richly blessed you with the ability to share your heart so that I really feel like I'm there with you. This is Natalie Hsieh (formerly Natalie Wong). I met you as an introverted, self-conscious first-year grad student at UCSB 2004-2005, and you were a big answer to prayer to me as I sorted out how to faithfully live out the convictions God was putting on my heart to mature spiritually and figure out how to love and counsel people with His truth and love in mind. and what an amazing testimony God is writing in and through you and your family right now. you are choosing courage, hope, and fierce loyalty to the truth that God is good. how i admire and appreciate your honesty!! i thank you for teaching me about wise parenting and sacrificial love across the miles. Your family is bringing honor to Jesus and joy to so many hearts in ways that are beautiful.<br /><br />There are three songs of sure hope and joy in our God that I love these days and want to encourage your family with - sometimes just words don't do justice to the expression of the heart the way music can!<br /><br />"Before the Throne of God Above" - by Charitie Bancroft, sung by Selah<br />http://www.ilike.com/artist/Selah/track/Before+The+Throne+Of+God+Above<br /><br />"In Christ Alone" by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend:<br />http://www.ilike.com/artist/Stuart+Townend/track/In+Christ+Alone<br /><br />"You're beautiful" by Phil Wickham:<br />http://www.ilike.com/artist/Phil+Wickham/track/You're+Beautiful<br /><br />If you want to purchase any or all of these songs, just let me know! I will gladly buy them for you all. <br /><br />and keep writing! your family is in my prayers.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413996321842933107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585904810634226473.post-29630263560093497172010-10-03T12:42:47.164-07:002010-10-03T12:42:47.164-07:00I would just be repeating exactly what Amy, Jim an...I would just be repeating exactly what Amy, Jim and Sarah had to say so I will just say "DITTO"!

It is an honor to share in the precious memories you are making with your family and a privilege to see your momma bear love laid bare. I hope you know that (even without the blog!) there are hundreds and hundreds of us thinking of you every second of the day. Take care, Rosy.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105896223573896867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585904810634226473.post-18638451304989251172010-10-02T22:01:31.653-07:002010-10-02T22:01:31.653-07:00Ditto Amy's thoughts!

My only concern is that I wonder if Nina's Mommy is sometimes taking good enough care of herself. Please do. My thoughts and prayers are with you every day.Jim Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189496018786858534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585904810634226473.post-36924813809724035332010-10-02T19:38:52.805-07:002010-10-02T19:38:52.805-07:00Rosy,

I love how honest you are and how God has given you this strength to share all of your inner most thoughts and feelings with the ones that love you and the strangers that feel compassion and love for you. It is amazing how clear it is that this avenue of writting is indeed something of a gift that has been put in front of you. But, please know that your sharing has been a gift to many. You have no idea how much you have entered my thoughts and my prayers daily....It is life changing! You are a beautiful example of a mommy and what true unconditional love is. Your family is precious and your kids are so blessed to be loved and honored the way they are from you and Todd.<br /><br />May they always feel your love and security!<br />Hugs and Prayers Always....<br />-AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264872588249214585noreply@blogger.com
