i promise i'm going to get some pictures uploaded this week! i just wanted to share part of a post from a pastor in houston. i couldn't agree more with what he says about sweet layla grace, who i wrote about a couple of days ago. i think about this little girl and her family all day long. it seems that once i heard her story she's everywhere. we even watched her on the news last night (which we rarely watch the news). we've all read tragic stories about children leaving us before their time and their battles with illness little children should never have to face. but through all of the readings and posts this little girl has had an impact on me. i've cried and prayed for this little girl everyday. please continue to pray and lift up layla and her family!

"I can’t help but smile to think that sweet little Layla Grace may have already done more good in her 2 short years of life than I have done in the 40 years God has given me. Layla has never worked a day in her life, never earned a dollar, never won a game, never done any of those things that we normally use as markers of “success”. But, the impact of her life leaves me speechless. Because of Layla, how many of us parents have held our children closer at night? How many people have cried out in prayer to their God . . . maybe for the first time in a very long time?" if you want the whole post you can go to the blog
