when the darkness closes in Lord…
still i will say Blessed be the name of the lord.
Blessed be your Glorious Name.
My heart will choose to say
Lord Blessed Be Your Name.

***********************************
all of us.

missing you.
Dawn Sullivan - Having a child who struggles daily, I am so sorry to hear about this precious little one. I will pray for her and her family.
“Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear, then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer, you will cry for help, and He will say: Here am I.” Isa. 58: 8,9
Kate Eschbach - That song. The Holy Spirit is moving. That song has been stuck in my head all week. It has been my anthem for the last two weeks (as I pray for a husbands job) and tonight, I join you in singing this song for Cora. How great is our God? When all we can do is obey and praise.
carissa - keeping precious Cora lifted in constant prayer… and jess & joel… their entire family!
we serve a mighty God… he IS so great…!
prayer warriors all about!
hugs to you too Meg!
Christy - Still thinking about baby Cora. I hope she is well & home soon.
Lee Ann - I’m praying Meg! It just sucks doesn’t it! I just lost a friend (24) to CA. Then yesterday evening at work I took a little baby off life support to die in his parents’ arms. Then I came home and read your blog. Too much! Just balled in my husbands arms. It just doesn’t seem right. I sing those words all the time. How Great is our God! We must not forget that.
deb meyers - I am praying, too. Thank you for the song lyrics.

Amy - I posted a little blog about sweet Cora…figured the more people praying the better.
I just keep reminding myself that the (our) Lord shall endure forever and ever and ever and ever……and that is a guarantee of a lifetime.
kasey@lolabboutique.com - me too. prayers coming….
jody campbell - Prayers–big big big prayers from knoxville. God is good. He is faithful and He is mighty.
When two or more are gathered in His Name!
Dear sweet Cora–your smile is so bright.
And all of these people are praying for you and your family.

i made a ‘reminder’ image for myself that i printed out and put in a place i will see every day. i hope others do the same. our God is a God of miracles.
Jennifer P. - Praying. And like everyone else—waiting for a time when all these “why’s” finally get answered.
Love to you and your friends.
katy - Meg, I just posted about Cora on my blog. I want as many people as we can get to pray for her. Let me know if I can do anything to help with her family. Sincerely, Katy
katy - I will pray, I hate hearing this. I will ask my readers to pray for her and her family as well.
Shannon - Meg, I have been reading your blog for awhile now (which I LOVE). I am not one to comment, but have been so touched by the story of Cora and wanted to thank you for sharing it. I passed along Cora’s story to my Bible Study here in McPherson…this group of mommas are praying and feeling right along with you. We also had some friends that had a 5 month old son diagnosed with Neuroblastoma several years ago. He had a tough battle, highs and lows just like Cora, but he is now a happy, healthy 5 year old. There is SO much power in prayer. His Mom is also a Kansas teacher, so I passed along Cora’s info to her…she then contacted Cora’s parents through their blog letting them know she was available for any questions they might have.
traci - I know we dont have to beg but I have found myself begging with God for this precious child. I dont understand. I continue to pray. I cant even fathom…I really cant!!
traci - i have been and will continue to pray for sweet little cora. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family too meg.
Kim - I have been praying for little Cora and her family since you first posted. It just breaks my heart. “We will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony” I’ve been playing this song over and over crying out for healing for Cora. It’s called Overcome by Desperation Band.
Erin - ‘I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you’.” 2 Kings 20:5…
I am on my knees in prayer for this beautiful baby girl. Lord Jesus, show us your glory.
Erin in Indiana
Pattie - I have been checking their updates so many times a day since you first posted. Is there anything more that those of us who don’t know them personally can do? Are they still taking donations? I would love to send money to you to provide food or something. She is just a precious little thing. Thanks for your update, I know it must be so hard on all of you who are their friends.
Beth - I don’t even know this family and this really is making me hurt so much inside for them…I had a button made for her and since you have a big amount of bloggers please pass this on…I actually have done tow post since hearing about this baby…She just makes me smile everytime I see her beautiful face. Please send my love and prayers to this family since you know them. I have been praying so hard for her little body to be healed. God is Good! I know he is with her.
Darby - Meg, I’m praying and commenting on their blog… please, Lord Jesus, have mercy on and heal this little child.
Jesse Peak - My friend and I were just wondering about baby Cora. We are both praying for her and her family! What wonderful friends she has.
Dana - i found out about sweet little Cara via Angie’s twiter from Bring the Rain. My heart is breaking as I read about her struggles. I just wanted to let you know I am also keeping Cara and family in my prayers.
Bethany - I too have been following the story of sweet, beautiful Cora. My heart is breaking right along side of everyone else’s. Thanks for sharing Meg.
alyssa - Still hard to believe that that sweet baby girl is lying as sick as can be in a hospital bed…
Chrissie Grace - My heart aches for Cora and her parents. I will include them in my prayers…
Rachel Reeves - GOD IS SO GOOD.
GOD IS SO GOOD.
GOD IS SO GOOD….He is good to me.
Still praying…..

Every single time i look at my little girl, I think of them and say a little prayer.
