Autumn's Slide Show

Couldn't sleep tonight - and thought I'd finish up what I've been wanting to get done since October.
The song doesn't exactly "fit" with the subject - but it has been a huge comfort to me with the reminders that God is sovereign and nothing is out of His control.
Hope my "heart on a sleeve" encourages you... it was kinda rough to make, but I think I'm pleased with the effort.

Kendall: Your video tribute to Autumn is beautiful. I love the song you picked. I wish I could take the hurt away and make things better for you & Kurt but in time God will help heal your broken hearts. You will always remember Autumn and will hold her in your hearts forever because she was your first born baby girl who has made a lot of people, including me, believe that God has a plan for us all, even if it isn't what we have envisioned for ourselves. Dean & I think about you guys daily and pray for you often, we are here for you & love you both very much! Love, Amanda

Kendall, that video is beautiful! You should be very pleased with your effort. I should know better than to watch it while I'm at work, cause I couldn't stop the tears that welled up. Your baby girl, Autumn, is beautiful and perfect, and always will be. We love you guys so much!
Love, Jess

What a touching video. Thank you for sharing this.

I read this post this morning and was thinking about and praying for you guys. On my drive in to work this morning a song by Scott Krippayne came on and I thought of you guys... it's called "You Are Still God" from the album, It Goes Like This. It might be iTunes. Anyway, it's a great reminder of the sovereignty of God in the midst of all situations.

God bless you guys.

Kendall, I think the song is actually quite appropriate. Your focus is on God - right where it should be. I love you.

i've been wanting to write something the last couple of posts but i just don't have the words. i think it's because of a few things. one - i feel a little guilty that i have a healthy little girl who i can hug everyday while you're arms still ache to hold Autumn. two - i've been having such tough days with Kamryn, all i've been doing is complaining and wishing someone would just take her away for a while and then i think about how you would give anything to have frustrating days with Autumn, and i'm humbled. and three - the pain in my heart for you is just soooo huge that i can only imagine the ache in YOUR heart as you miss your baby girl everyday...and i just realize nothing i can say can make a dent in that...
so, just know that you are always on my thoughts, and i hope to give you a big hug someday soon and that i'll keep praying for you until one day you start feeling even a little bit better (well, i'll keep praying even after that - but you know what i mean!) :)
lots of love...

Dear Kurt and Kendall,
What a beautiful tribute you made for your precious daughter Autumn. She is so beautiful.... You have been on my mind so many times the past few months. Your blog has been such a inspiration to me in how God's love upholds us even through the hardest and darkest hour of our lives. Thank you for your reminders... Thank you for your giant love and faith in God.... Thank you for sharing your numbing grief and your song of praise.
Heaven seems so much closer with loved ones there. May God continue to uphold you and stregthen you until you can all be together again one day with Jesus.
I am praying for you right now that God will help you through your first Christmas without your precious little girl there beside you.
You have lived out the verse in IICor 1:3-4
In Christ,
Nicole Van Ee

What a beautiful tribute to Autumn. We continue to pray for you and Kurt. "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."Lam 3:21-23
