"But there's one other thing I remember,
and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:
God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
his merciful love couldn't have dried up.
They're created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He's all I've got left.
God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits,
to the woman who diligently seeks.
It's a good thing to quietly hope,
quietly hope for help from God.
It's a good thing when you're young
to stick it out through the hard times.
When life is heavy and hard to take,
go off by yourself. Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions:
Wait for hope to appear.
Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face.
The "worst" is never the worst.
Why? Because the Master won't ever
walk out and fail to return.
If he works severely, he also works tenderly.
His stockpiles of loyal love are immense." -Lamentations 3:21-26, 28-32 (The Message)

Turner Family -
Thank you so much for reminding us all that through everything...we 'always have a reason for the hope that lies within us.' Four years ago we had a beautiful, healthy one year old and were expecting our second little girl, little knowing the severe medical issues and life threatening diagnosis our new wee one would face. Four years later Aaron and I now see past the hurt and pain...knowing full well that the Lord still has plans for our family-to prosper us and He shows us His blessings daily. Through our Rylee, He has shown us His unconditional love and all consuming grace and mercy. The Great Physician knows Miss Riley intimately, formed her perfectly the way He wanted her made, and only He knows her days here. Little is much when God is in it-God is already using your family, your unwavering faith in Him, and your little baby to do extraordinary things.
Please remember there is a WV family and church praying for you all.
Much love and prayers -

"For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them."
Psalm 139:13-16
