This is exactly what I hope you do. I ...Courtney,<br /><br />This is exactly what I hope you do. I hope you write a book, highlighting some of the most important truths you have learned about God and life, grounded in your experience being Tripp's mother and seeking God's will and wisdom. I hope you also highlight the great potential for good in others, highlighted by all those who supported you.<br /><br />This is what is so amazing about Christianity; it's the truth, as you beautifully showed in this post. Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life.<br /><br />When I lost my father to cancer, I finally realized that Jesus came to save us from what truly matters: sin and death (eternal separation from God). He came to restore us back to friendshihp with God and one another and to welcome us into God's kingdom: "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43).<br /><br />You're a fantastic person Courtney. This post is so illuminating.<br /><br />Your brother in Christ,<br /><br />BenjaminBenjamin Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535230341517164757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-61171637361533012832010-10-21T03:31:04.238-05:002010-10-21T03:31:04.238-05:00I really liked your thoughts on prayer and faith. ...I really liked your thoughts on prayer and faith.

Your strength is uplifting and Tripp is a delight. A friend-of-a-friend just recently had a baby girl with EB and while researching and reading I stumbled on your blog. I'm very thankful I did. I somehow now feel I've known you and Tripp for years and will pray for all of you regularly. <br /><br />I hope you don't mind I added you on Facebook so I can keep up with your story. <br /><br />God bless you all and thank you for allowing us - even strangers from Michigan - into your lives and journeys. <br /><br /> - StephanieStephanie Rockafellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972161321083794426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-77351881852464893922010-10-19T18:43:59.703-05:002010-10-19T18:43:59.703-05:00Courtney & Family,

You have a lot more faith than you realize and I know God gives you what you need just when you need it. We may never understand anything, but God knows the entire big picture and we just see what we can see. Tripp is so precious and I think of you so often. My little preschoolers are still praying for you and your precious family.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119177098252163706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-89508854722870984302010-10-19T18:40:03.272-05:002010-10-19T18:40:03.272-05:00Your post did not sound like someone who is a &quo...Your post did not sound like someone who is a "beginner" in faith.

I'm sorry that you are having a "crash course" on pain, suffering, prayers, and God's will. But God has chosen you to be Tripp's mother for this purpose. Your reward, as will Tripp's, will be unbelievable, and it will be for all eternity!

As a young Catholic mother of 2 (my daughter was born May 20, 2009 -- 6 days after your sweet Tripp!), I can definitely understand your love for Tripp. I know what it's like to be faced with crises and having to be strong for your child. Our faith in these hard times is what gets us through. You and Tripp are in my prayers, sweetie. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ Author UnknownMommy of 2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-27511391797247175072010-10-19T07:26:56.711-05:002010-10-19T07:26:56.711-05:00Court, If you want to see a glimpse of what God is...Court, If you want to see a glimpse of what God is doing through Tripp...Go look in the mirrow.

I feel called to share that you might really love the book, "Making Sense Out of Suffering" by Peter Kreeft an amazing Catholic author and professor whose love of Jesus has really touched my heart. It is about the good/blessings that can come out of suffering when we offer them to Christ even when it does not seem at all fair. It really changed my life. I will continue to dedicate many prayers to your family and that sweet baby.
