Some of you may or may not be aware of the need of prayer on behalf of the Steven Curtis Chapman family. They just lost their youngest child in a tragic automobile accident witnessed by two children on their property, and committed accidentally by one of their sons. They are in tremendous need of prayer. Below is a link concerning what happened. Chelsea and I feel compelled to solicit all of you who read our blog to offer prayer on their behalf in light of such a tragedy. This family has given hope to over 1700 families through financial assistance for adoptions, in addition to the tremendous work done as a musician and Christian servant.
We became more familiar with their family through their work through an adoption agency and an included DVD chronicling portions of their own adoption journey. At that time we were truly touched by their testimony. We cannot begin to imagine what they're going through at this time, but offer our sincerest condolences to a wonderful family.

WITH HOPE
This is not at all how we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you,
but ... We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end,
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope (There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home And now you're free, and ...
We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything God promised us is true, so ...
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
