Thank you for keeping us all posted. Wednesday the boys and I were watching the video from Harvest Night when Anna was 3years old. Her face was beaming as she leaned into the microphone and sang with confidence when it came to the words "His Sheep Am I !" Precious memories. Please give Anna a big hug from me ....I wish I could give you a big hug too! Our family is praying for you all. We love you!<br />With much prayer and love from Ohio,<br />Linda Fehlen <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14390209331742699814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034413316979850127.post-6732775524836927142013-05-15T16:32:50.435-07:002013-05-15T16:32:50.435-07:00Emily, you remind me of the blog writer Ann Voskam...Emily, you remind me of the blog writer Ann Voskamp( www.aholyexperience.com ) who wrote the book One Thousand Gifts.

I share in your frustration with your blurry vision and have been praying that this too will pass soon. I know God is using your testimony there in the hospital to share many things about Christ, but, Anna, He is also using you mightily here during your absence. Thank you for shining brightly for Christ, no matter how terrible you feel physically. You are teaching me MANY things about yielding to God's plans for my life with the right heart. Things I should have learned and applied before. Thanking the Lord for you and His lessons even though I do not understand His ways!! Learning to smile for Him,♥ Mrs. Potvin<br /><br />P.S. I had similar thoughts too when I watched the storm yesterday. Did you notice that the sun always seemed a little brighter after the storm clouds than it did before they were there for a while?? I wonder, is it really brighter, or is it just that it was appreciated more after the darkness? Makes me think of another application. Love you!

Please know that all of the Tanakas are closely following what's happening each day and that our hearts are with you all through this difficult time I just spent 3 weeks in the hospital with my Dad, and Rich and I have spent sleepless nights with seriously ill children in the hospital on numerous occasions, so we feel just a tiny bit of what you must be going through. . I'm so sorry that you must endure all of this, but I also rest in the sovereignty of God and we will be upholding all of you in prayer<br /><br />Know that we all love you, Anna, Emily, Craig, and everyone! <br /><br />Love,<br />Lori Tanaka.

Our oldest son was diagnosed with leukemia in August, and we are all too familiar with much of your family's trials. You are all in our prayers. We will pray especially for a successful transplant without side effects. We, too, have seen God answer prayers in astonishing and unexpected ways!
