I read this poem on another blog and thought that it was so true for my life. I am so thankful that I know Christ at this time in my life....He is my strength and my hope!
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER by Maya Angelou
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

What a beautiful poem! Ryan's mom and I took our kids to Awana Cubbies and our boys learned their first Bible verses together! Steven and Ryan were buddies growing up as babies through grade school.
I would like to send a check to the kid's trust fund but I don't have the Fifth Third Bank address so I can send it. can you post the info on your blog?

Wanted you to know that Ryan was more than just a "patient" and you were more than just a "family member". I am very sad that I could not make it to the services. Please get my number from Kate and give me a call when you are ready to. Thinking of you all.

Kristin,
I just want to give you some encouragement from one who has walked down a similar path. Your faith will get you through this time.
I found your blog through Confessions of a CF Husband.
My husband passed away in May 2006 while waiting for his new lungs.
God Bless you and your children.
