Praise God for your amazing gifts, poise, faith, and integrity during this time of grief. You are loved by the King and by those of us who see Christ in the Chapman family. Thank-you for returning to the stage and testifying to God's unfailing grace and mercy. All for Jesus
I pray the Lord gives you and your family peace in knowing that this life is not the end,you will see Maria again. Maria is at peace now in the loving arms of Jesus. She would want you to live life to the fullest. Keep on being who you are and what you are meant to be.
Praising God with you through storm or sunshine, knowing HE will NEVER
leave us or forsake us and that it is in these most difficult times HE really does carry us through it to the other side. I believe God knows every day of life that has been set before me, even before one of them came to be. In that knowing.....I trust Him. Not one seed will fall to the ground and die, without it baring MUCH FRUIT. Maria's
life will bare MUCH fruit for God's Glory. I grieve with you and pray that the God of all comforts continues to comfort you all and that very
soon HE will turn your mourning into dancing again. Don't stop signing, or dancing for Jesus.....Little Maria wouldn't want that and neither do I! Let's continue to make that "SACRAFICE OF PRAISE" to our
"GREAT AND MIGHTY GOD" and very soon it won't feel like such a sacrafice anymore. I pray for the SON to SHINE on and in you now.
Much Much love to you all!!!
I was deeply moved by your testimony tonight on the Larry King show. Thank you for opening your hearts and sharing your faith to the world. I lost a child, too. My baby girl, Angela Michelle, only 7 hours after she was born. It was definitely my heavenly Father who picked me up and carried me through that unbelievably difficult time. I felt your pain tonight. And I KNOW that God is bringing you through this in a wonderful way. Where is Maria.... she is playing with my Angela. What a lovely, lovely thought. One of the people who phoned into the show mentioned the verses from Psalm 139..... verses 13 to 16 of that chapter are engraved on our daughters tomb stone. May God bless you. Love, Carol
Don't blame God, He never said we wouldn't die. He brought your daughter down here to be a teacher. She taught you a lot in a very short time. Keep looking for those messages, like the flower and word "see" on the paper Maria was working on. We lost our young son Josh 8 years ago---23 days before his 23rd birthday---- He contacts us to say hi in many different ways, to many members of our family---we write down all these visits and meet once a year to compare notes It does get better but you never get over it. You just get through it with His grace.---Faith is easy when everything is going right---true faith is believing 100 per cent that HE knows what HE is doing with us down here. Maria was brought down for a different purpose than you. Your grief will get better--Trust in God--I will keep you in my prayers
Tragedy is the time when we are tested, and also the time when we must rely on God's promises.
As shown in 2 Peter 5-7; We exhibit self control, then we can witness, following that we will be tested to show perserverance in our faith, We press on so as to attain Godliness. That quality of God's nature living through us. Eventually we can show God's kindness and love. Then we are truly fruitful in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We too have seen tragic loss of a young one and with that event our ability to have children. That loss could not be explained. In His timing and wisdom God saw to it that we could adopt our children. He provides our comfort and our hope. He invites all of us to be adopted into his family too. He is good, He loves us.
You have a way of sharing what God wants the world to hear. This is a gift to keep on sharing. Especially in your loss of Maria. Please take heart, God has promised never to forsake us, but His ways are not our ways.
In Christ's Love,
Jess
