Posting with a heavy heart....

A few posts back, I wrote about Layla Grace. A little baby girl, fighting cancer and things not looking good for her. Well, 'Layla went to play with angels this morning' - as her mom stated on Twitter. As I said before, I never cried so hard for someone I didn't know. I am so sad for her, her family and yet humbled for all she did in her short life.

I can't imagine losing your child so young, in such a painful way as the Marsh family did. I am grateful to them for sharing their journey which in turn, touched SO many lives. When I first started following on Twitter, there were 20,000 plus followers. Today, it's 45,000+ followers (within two weeks it has more than doubled). She was an amazing warrior and fighter. She made non-believers...believers. She made parents hug their kids a little bit tighter and remind them of the things we take for granted - everyday. For some reason, again, she touched my life in ways I can't even explain.

I will forever be grateful to you baby girl and will remember you forever. I pray that your family has peace knowing that you are in no more pain and that you are seated at the right hand of God, with a tumor & cancer free body.

Today's Daily Affirmation:

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." - 2 Corninthians 4:7-12, 16-18

Sweet dreams baby girl.
