It is an inspiration and I needed it at this time. You remind me of President Hinckley. I always thought of him as MY prophet and I loved the way his eyes would twinkle and in the face of hardship he would say, "It will be alright." Simple words, but poignant. My sweet, sweet friends. You are in my prayers and I love your guts. Thank you for being a light in a dark place. Briana, I know how it feels to hand over a precious loved one to the skilled hands of a doctor with desperation in my heart and have to choke down the words, "Help me! I will do anything to make her better! Take from me what you need! Take MY kidneys! What am I going to do with them anyway without her?!" I LOVE you! Hurrah for Israel!Janaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649518422969254711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28814903.post-40480081316282618692011-06-29T07:18:57.622-06:002011-06-29T07:18:57.622-06:00Hello Brianna & Mike,
I was up early this morn...Hello Brianna & Mike,<br />I was up early this morning...praying to the Lord to help me find some comfort. I lost my dear father 15 days ago to complications of chemo for his cancer that he was diagnosed with in Jan. Your faith and strength remind me so much of him that I was instantly uplifted. His funeral was not about the praises of a wonderful man, which he was, but a tribute to our Lord and Savior and His Plan. It was amazing how the hardest funeral I have ever had to go to was also the most comforting. The veil was so very thin and I felt such soothing peace. The trial now is moving forward without his immediate presence, when the veil seems to have thickened over the past days. Thank you for sharing your experience. Your family will remain in my prayers.<br />Warm Regards, CoryCory CLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810246116105500823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28814903.post-22370801893498609022011-06-23T21:01:50.294-06:002011-06-23T21:01:50.294-06:00Thanks Mike, and thanks Brianna for encouraging hi...Thanks Mike, and thanks Brianna for encouraging him to write. Your words have touched our hearts and strenghtened our faith. Thanks for your great examples. There is such power in feeling a confirmation that what is logical and seems like such an easy choice is not always the right choice. And when you get that kind of confirmation it gives you strength to always turn to Him for guidance. We continue to pray for you guys and miss you! We loved looking at your blog tonight!<br />Aaron and KatieThe Allred Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946031951756135511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28814903.post-1316959492469469452011-06-23T15:50:33.963-06:002011-06-23T15:50:33.963-06:00You can see from the power of your words, Mike, ho...You can see from the power of your words, Mike, how strong of a person you truly are and how much you are needed on this earth. Thanks for being faithful and enduring these challenges. Because when I hear about your struggles and battles you are fighting, it helps strengthen my faith. How remarkable it is to know we don't have to go through these challenges in life alone. There is power in asking questions; especially when you're asking the One who knows how to heal and strengthen us. I know you'll receive guidance as you continue to seek it. I pray for your family and love you all so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271283656695018485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28814903.post-47694631698680643802011-06-23T10:04:41.687-06:002011-06-23T10:04:41.687-06:00Wonderfully written!Mike and Brianna you continue ...Wonderfully written!Mike and Brianna you continue to amaze and inspire me!
