If you want a good cry, read on.

Today I visited the blog of Angie Smith for the first time. I'm sure it's one I'll be reading regularly. I just couldn't stop reading the story of her baby, Audrey Caroline. I won't give away anything so if you want to check it out, you can. I highly recommend it.

I haven't previously shared much of the history of my family, or the deep pains that mark my personal history. It was definitely therapeutic today to read about someone else's life, loves and losses, and I think I may soon be ready to share some of my own. Most of my readers are friends and family, and already know about the things that I'm referring to, but I know that I'll eventually let it all come out here. I think I still have quite a bit of healing to do before I can pour it out here. I want to have a little more of the context of how God worked it out before I go unloading. I'm afraid if I were to do it now that I'd be spilling a pity-party that needs to be over. In time.

Earlier today, after reading about half of Angie's blog, I had the song, "Carry You," in my head. It was written by Angie & her husband, Todd, and couple other people for Audrey. I hope you're moved by it as much as I was.

Isn't her story heartwrenching and her response absolutely amazing--so human yet so Christ-centered?! I spent hours reading her story the first time and just cried and cried. I am always so encouraged by her words.
