I have been angry at God too lately for very different reasons, but you know what as you share that feeling, you are releasing more of the burden of wanting something so much and not understanding why HE won't act. <br /><br />I don't understand it either. I KNOW as you do and so many other believe that He could absolutely perfect her heart right here and now. <br /><br />Still praying for that miracle and SO VERY THANKFUL Teresa has you as her Mommy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-4610286545551753142010-10-20T14:59:54.634-04:002010-10-20T14:59:54.634-04:00Hello,
We have been following Teresa's story...Hello, <br /><br />We have been following Teresa's story since she was still in the orphanage. I am sorry about your recent news, but I know miracles can happen any time, any place. If it isn't God's will for a miracle to occur, do you know that you have made this child's life so happy now she has her own family. Even if her time with you is not as long as we would like it to be, at least she is very happy. <br /><br />Your family brought this beautiful child home when others had given up hope or were just unable to do so. Her life and yours is so much better now that God brought you all together a family. Your comment about eternity was very profound. Always remember, no matter if we are all together a year, or 40 years, we will all be together for eternity soon.<br /><br />We will continue to pray for a miracle.<br /><br />God Bless, <br /><br />Lee AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-37529119102225986332010-10-20T07:26:07.010-04:002010-10-20T07:26:07.010-04:00Ann - there are no words that anyone can say to a ...Ann - there are no words that anyone can say to a parent at a time like this - and even those of us with sn kids who have had these kind of diagnoses can still only guess at the depth of the pain that you and your family feel....<br /><br />But if it lends any comfort in regard to your anger with the Father, know that Teresa has touched so many people and families. Know that your family and your strength to accept Teresa with love as your child regardless of what the future holds has opened the hearts of many who were just 'afraid' to adopt a special needs child. <br /><br />From outside looking in - I believe that this was Teresa's calling - her mission here on earth.<br /><br />We will hold Teresa and you guys in our hearts and prayers - <br /><br />hugs - aus and co.Aushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740211277947404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-31299355015532813722010-10-19T21:14:03.169-04:002010-10-19T21:14:03.169-04:00I believe God put her here to show us how horrible...I believe God put her here to show us how horrible life can be.....but when you trust in him(grossly apparent in Teresa's smile) he will truly heal us all.<br /><br />She has been such an adorable icon for so many people. How we ALL wanted her to come to know a loving family....how the sweet Lord provided that!!! We saw her travel home and be accepted by sisters and brothers and to know Jesus!!! She glows through the pictures that you so lovingly take. I can't even her radiance in person!! Please know that your heart inspires me to open and love more openly. Thank you for that. We will continue to pray for continued comfort for our little sweetie. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing her with us....shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054790889751068095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-71992829684207911202010-10-19T14:02:52.462-04:002010-10-19T14:02:52.462-04:00I've been following your blog since you adopte...I've been following your blog since you adopted "Lucy" I first fell in love with her on Robin's blog. I've been praying for her ever since. She's such a treasure!! Thank you so much for keeping those of us that love her, up-to-date on her health!<br />I'm currently undergoing chemo and then surgery for my second round of breast cancer. At times I find myself feeling sad and mad and "why me"? Then I think about Teresa and Robin's Mia and Liliana and these precious ones give me courage!<br />God bless you all!<br />Miss Lila in AtlantaUpdated by Lila Huggins (grandmother)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08686127350353876114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-54081991802325708462010-10-19T13:22:37.348-04:002010-10-19T13:22:37.348-04:00Ann,

When I finally did and explained all that was happening his first words were "wow you must really be angry at God". I cried realizing the Lord knew my struggles and was giving me the okay to express. This pastor encouraged me to read Habakkuk. Lay your frustrations with the Lord and let Him help to lead and comfort you and your family as you do such an incredible job with every precious child you've been trusted with. Are putting a picture on our fridge of your family to remind us to pray even more for God's hand of healing.Carr Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623973838633312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-61249052679670622172010-10-19T10:25:16.493-04:002010-10-19T10:25:16.493-04:00OH!

I do know, however, that God has a plan for Teresa and it may just be the miracle we are all praying for, it may not be but He is holding her and watching over her. He brought her into the world against all odds and brought her to your family, against all odds. He did this all for a reason and you may not know now or even 3 years from now, the why's but He had His reasons. As hard as this is, I know you could never imagine not ever loving Teresa, not ever being blessed by her sweet spirit and now, she has known the love of a family, a wonderful family. Please know that I pray for your sweet child every single night and I will continue to pray for that miracle for her and for continued strength and courage and peace for your family. You are amazing!!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406486405095448755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-77782092435141214932010-10-18T22:23:16.434-04:002010-10-18T22:23:16.434-04:00Ann,

I will continue to be grateful for your family...who has brought Teresa so much joy. I do believe that God has a plan and sometimes it is more than we can begin to understand...especially when it involves a child that must suffer...a little one that we have come to love so dearly.<br /><br />Love and hugs to you!<br />RobinFaith, Hope, and Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813416716908003975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972085662255248392.post-79175738680005993392010-10-18T21:27:32.571-04:002010-10-18T21:27:32.571-04:00Praying for you all.

It sounds as if she has had so many miracles in her life--to survive birth, to become a member of her forever family...maybe God has another miracle waiting for her and for all of you. We are praying hard for her and her family.Rita and Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381017159633842657noreply@blogger.com
