My church, Cross Point Community Church is doing a series called Plan B. This series is all about what to do when life gives you lemons. Last Sunday as Pete (our pastor) was closing up his sermon, he mentioned that this past Sunday was one not to be missed. If we had plans, cancel them, because this one was the one to be at. Well we just happened to be going out of town for my friend's wedding and had no intention of canceling our plans, but the anticipation was eating away at me not knowing what was in store.
On Wednesday, as we were on the drive down, I got an email on my Blackberry from Pete's wife Brandi, letting us know that the sermon was going to be about a family we had been praying for in my Moms' group. Now I knew why Pete felt so strongly about this.
Here are the videos about the Smith family and Audrey Caroline.

I recommend reading "A Letter To My Daughter" on April 11th.
All I can say again, is how humbling this story is and how silly I feel when I think about the "problems" that I have. After watching this video the instant we got home, Matt and I, both in tears, scooped up our little Madi and told her how much we love her. I can't even imagine having had to say goodbye to her 8 weeks ago after only 2 1/2 hours. As soon as I know Olivia is deep into sleep, you better believe I'm going upstairs to tell her the same thing!
Thank you, Smith family, for enlightening me with your story and your faith. Thank you for Cross Point for being the most amazing church I've ever been a part of. And finally, thank you God for blessing me with my two amazing girls. I am truly, truly blessed.
