Answered Prayers

God hears our prayers. He does. He answers them according to HIS plans and not our own. That's sometimes a hard thing to accept. Especially today. Gorgeous Kayleigh Anne Freeman passed away last night. I have been praying daily. Praying for a miracle. That God would heal her and that she would be able to go home. Of course as I prayed these prayers, I was praying for this to happen in the physical world. I know there are thousands and thousands of people that were praying for the same thing. Those who don't believe in GOD would think our prayers went unheard. No. Not at all. God heard every.single.prayer.

Kayleigh is healed and she is HOME. Jesus took her tiny, worn out body and gave her a new one. He wrapped his arms around her and took her to live with him. Prayers were answered.

Not the way we would have liked for them to be. I would have loved for her to have been healed here. I would have loved for her to go home and live with her mommy and daddy. But God is God and has his reasons for everything. That wasn't to be. We are all crying and praying for her family. That God wraps his arms around them and comforts them and gets them through this. And he will. God is faithful and loving.

Kayleigh is free from all pain. She is whole. She is in paradise. When it's time for her loved ones to go home... she will be one of the ones to greet them with hugs and smiles.

That is the comfort I hold on to during times like these.

Tears have fallen. A lot of tears. Kayleigh is loved and will always be. She will always be cherished and remembered. Greif is selfish. We cry and hurt because we wish they were with US. If we only knew how happy and blessed she is. If we could only get a glimpse of the paradise she is living now... we wouldn't want her to be brought back. She wouldn't want to come either!

She is perfect!

My Very First Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.


Well first of all I have to say, I did not and I repeat, I did not somehow drive up onto a railroad tie while waiting in the car line to pick my daughter up from school. I mean seriously who would do that? You follow the person in front of you and don't go over 5 mph. So it wasn't me that did that and honked the horn on the way of getting off the thing to boot! Never! That would be way embarrassing and I feel for the poor soul that happened to!

I also did not forget we parked in front of a sidewalk at Wal-Mart. I did not think I could just "pull through" because the spot in front of me was empty. I did not get fussed at by my husband for trying to tear up the car. That wasn't me!

I was not completely lazy this Monday and left my two younger ones in sleepers the entire day. I did not take them out of the house just like that to pick up my oldest from school. I also did not allow my neighbors to see this complete laziness! No way!

I did not watch my one year old peel off her diaper and pee in the floor and I absolutely did not giggle about it. I also will not admit that I haven't shampoo'd that spot in the carpet yet. That would be disgusting. lol.

I have not spent most of my days that I should be cleaning and organizing playing on Facebook or reading blogs or chatting on message boards. I am more time efficient than that so that couldn't be moi!

What kinds of things have you NOT done this week?
