Anything is possible for God. I will also continue to pray for your family. I do not know what God's will is, or His plan, but I know He sent Teresa at the very least to inspire people to pray more and have hope. Whether He brings her home or leaves her here to do His work, either way her life is truly blessed along with everyone who has met her.<br /><br />God Bless you, <br /><br />Lee AnnLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05175098787885886631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-9120893608862791952012-01-12T17:28:19.758-05:002012-01-12T17:28:19.758-05:00Teresa's light has touched so many.

We live in VA, but it turned out that we used the same social worker as you, and one of our daughters has HLHS just like Teresa. Only God could orchestrate all that!<br /><br />In John 14:12-14 Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do ever GREATER things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it"<br /><br />Heavenly Father, please bring complete healing to sweet Teresa that only you can bring, in Jesus' name!!!!!!<br /><br />~Emilyfornsc3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13677113142794944719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-83382331395599953642012-01-11T22:12:23.633-05:002012-01-11T22:12:23.633-05:00Teresa and your family will be in my prayers.Teresa and your family will be in my prayers.Moniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965584212934394576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-14303295032762791672012-01-11T21:47:57.232-05:002012-01-11T21:47:57.232-05:00Ed and Ann God has placed you in the lives of thes...Ed and Ann God has placed you in the lives of these little ladies for a purpose.Keep the Faith that He is in charge and give all to His Glory.

Teresa almost feels like our own daughter, we have followed her journey so faithfully. In her short life, Teresa has seen love and faith personified and lived out in her own family--I cannot think of a greater gift you could have given her (or any child). She has had a life surrounded by supportive sisters close to her in age, older brothers who adore her, and a huge extended family who thinks the world of her. And in terms of a legacy, her life, however long it will be--and none of us know--will always live on in the hearts of those who love her and those of us who got to know her and loved her through your words. <br /><br />Sending you faith, sending you courage--<br /><br />Lynne<br />Mama to Amelia MeiYun, age 6<br />OregonMama to Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799217317334524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-41283471387566308112012-01-10T18:01:37.711-05:002012-01-10T18:01:37.711-05:00I don't know how I missed this post! we pray...I don't know how I missed this post! we pray for Teresa everyday...but now we will pray even more...right now I don't have words to pray but our Father knows...<br />Sending so much love your way from AL,Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793604475629395024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-4900757602883743562012-01-10T17:13:11.949-05:002012-01-10T17:13:11.949-05:00Thank you for sharing your heart Ann.
