Unexpected Day - Part Two

I'm not going to talk politics. However, I do want to say that I was touched by Rick Santorum's testimony. I related to a person who has gone though the same thing that I have. Going though this situation is not easy and there are many decisions to be made. An experience like this causes you to grow up and mature in a way that cannot be taught in a text book or at a fancy college. It's handling real life and unexpected situations. I respect him.

I learned about the impact of sharing your testimony. This blog has been my sounding board for a while. After hearing Rick Santorum tell his son's story, it reminded me that the story of Layla has touched many people. That one word, Layla has not returned void. That one word, Gabriel has not returned void. Speaking my testimony can change someone's life. It can effect someone's walk with God. It's so much bigger than myself and my feelings and thoughts. I started my blog as a means to communicate long distance with family. I had no idea or intention of reaching people I don't know or people I haven't talked to in years. I realized that my blog has become my testimony. Not just my story. There are people out there with the same story as mine. But a testimony is a story that supports a fact. The fact; God is faithful.

We continue to be touched by the people who think of us and pray for us. This morning was not easy for me or Bryan and it made our entire day more difficult. We were surrounded with people who love us. Not only was my best friend here with her family, but my mom was at church, my co-workers, Bryan was sitting near people who have supported us since day one. To know that our testimony has touched your lives means a lot to us. We feel so blessed to have you.

Today unexpectedly turned into a day of growth and learning about myself. And a day that our precious angel, Layla Faith was remembered in our hearts and minds.

Here's a link to the video of Rick Santorum's visit. Enjoy!
