I will never forget the day I found out about Maria.....................

Maria Sue Chapman (2003-2008)
Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed Wednesday night in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.
Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again. - Jim Houser (Manager)
JC was a little less that two years younger that Maria. I was in awe of Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman. They had opened their hearts and home to three precious orphans from China. They were such a precious family. Steven Curtis Chapman had been one of my favorite Christian musicians for years! Mary Beth had battled so many issued and overcame depression!
And now THIS!
This was something that broke my heart like nothing had since my friend Dana had passed away.
It was not fair! But who knew, that so many would be reached because of this life that was cut short. There are funds that are being raised for orphans and adoption because of Maria!
And now, I find this clip from Beth Moore's teaching on Life Today with Jim and Betty Robinson.....God sure knows how to take care of His children.
Oh, Lord, you know right when we need your lovingkindness.!
I'll make another post to let you all know how God showered me with some of His love today!!!
