In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
Today I am resting in the promise that Jesus commands my destiny!

Sweet Children, you are on my heart and in my prayers at this time. We all have been blessed to experience the mountaintops so that we might traverse the valleys successfully. Thank you, Lord, that you go before us and that we can feel safe as we hold your hand through the valley.
Love always, Mom and Dad (J & R)
It may not be totally clear to you guys right now, but I can say with certainty that the Lord has already used this to further His Kingdom. Your model of faith has given you/others an example and an opportunity to share the message of hope to non-believers and has been a tangible example to believers. I can't imagine how tough it must be, but from the outside looking in- it is clear that He is in control. I love you both... UD
With tears in my eyes, I am thankful that you trust that God controls your life. You know that His ways are greater than our ways even though at times mysterious to us, that He wants the best for you and that He holds you both in the palm of His hand. And as you showed me, He sings over you every minute of every day. He loves you dearly... and always will. You are in better hands than our frail human ones. I love you all. And trust that He will use this to bless you.
More, Mom
