Prayers for Marsha and her family!
Aug. 30, 2008 • 10:51 PM
Many of you that read blogs here at homeschoolblogger regularly, I am sure have read about this sad story. I have had it on my mind and heart and have been praying for them. Please pray for them as well...
Marsha is like many of us moms on homeschoolblogger, a wife, mother, teacher, blogger, friend, and much more. We have a bond in our similarities and a closeness as we share our journeys with each other through our blogs- windows into our lives.
Marsha's sweet little 3 yro.old boy went home to be with the Lord this past week after an accidental drowning in a lake behind their home.
I know this mommy’s heart now aches to teach her little boy this year, yearns to kiss his cheek and tuck him in. The things we take for granted everyday (to some degree), she is missing painfully. Marsha, your sweet child is in peace with God above-- yet I pray for your aching heart and your family! I would think it would be too hard right now to look back as the memories still bring sadness instead of joy. Looking forward is just as hard as so much is missing. So… my pray for now is that you will Be Still and let the Lord take care of you and David and your two oldest boys, giving you the peace in knowing that He is also caring for your youngest. In Christ, there are no goodbyes!
Think of the gifts that Christian gave you; his hugs, smiles and love, his favorite things and funny faces. Each day you had with him is a gift and… in Christ, there are no goodbyes. Hold on to the promise that someday you will be with him again. And, know we are all praying with you!
Previously on my blog, I blogged about the Chapman family and their recent and tragic accident, which sent their youngest daughter home to be with the Lord. This is like something the son said....
but I thought too, Marsha, you are your family can honor Christian by honoring the One who gave Christian to you!
Also as Steven Curtis Chapman said about how the Lord leaves little breadcrumbs in the journey of life for us to find...
When I read you found Christian's loved blankie, I thought of how that is a breadcrumb from the Lord for you. You have the blankie that Christian loved so much and maybe it can bring you comfort.
So many of us are praying for you... I hope you feel the prayers!
Here is a song for you!
I will carry you to Jesus, He is everything you need!
I will carry you to Jesus on my bended knees!

I have made a post asking for people to cover the Drews family in prayer for 24 hours leading up to the 25th of September, marking one month without "Dozer". Please stop by and add your name if you'd like, and share it on your blog for others that might be willing to "help" this family through prayer.
Thanks,
Amy (aka Dandelion Seeds)

Sep. 4, 2008 - Taking another look at Sarah
Posted by 7757
I'm always amazed when complete strangers find my web blog. You have a beautiful site and I am saddened about Marsha's loss. God be with her.
You and I know very little about Sarah. Like you I think she is a great person, but I really don't know for sure if she can “multi-task, properly care for her family and get things done”. I know she’s probably trying. We cannot judge right and wrong based on experience - ours or those of others. We must discern them based on Biblical truth.
You share a number of examples of different mothering experiences. You are missing the point... I am speaking to a much larger issue of priorities. The nation's business has now become Sarah's priority. John McCain and those voting for her will expect that.
She is free to make this choice, of course. God does not make us conform to truth – we have a free will. But, she cannot escape the consequences. I don’t wish that on her. I want to sound the alarm to her and others like her. Titus 2 instructs me to do that, like iron sharpens iron.
And yes, if there are homeschooling moms around me who lose their way, I do admonish them in love and with grace. God’s word instructs us to help each other reach the finish line – to finish well – and it’s how you finish that counts. It’s not too late for Sarah to change course.
What, in your opinion, is the Biblical message that she is sending families in America that will help them?
I have heard both her major speeches on TV and cannot once recall her giving any glory to God. I apologize if she did and I missed it.
I’m not looking for a perfect candidate (as you say, there is none). I am trying to stay informed in light of God’s principles and I do not have to pray for His will concerning Sarah. I already know what it is because she is married with children. I pray that she will do the right thing with this sacred trust He has given her. I don’t want that to sound insulting to you. I don’t intend for it to be. I want to speak truth. I didn’t write the Book, and I encourage you to find your defense for Sarah in there, if you can. I would be open to a Scriptural dialog with you about her. Susan PS: My homeschoolers are grown and gone now, so I have time for blogging.
Here are the weblogs that I wrote about her. Try to get the whole picture of what I am sounding the alarm about. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/7757/582401/
