Blessed be the name of the Lord!
God has helped us, by using the words of Job, as we strive to keep perspective about all of life. Sal and I are certainly trusting God's soveriegnty over all creation. Over the last 7 days we have recognized His hand in both the giving and taking of life within Sally's womb. We are just grateful that He has given us the grace to trust Him. While we are saddened by the loss, we are confident in His timing and thankful that we know that He has gifted us with the ability to concieve.
Please pray that we will remain in His grace.
Love you all...goodnight.

Clif and Sally, Amanda and I are sorry for your loss. But we are happy that by the grace of God you can say with Job,"Blessed be the name of the Lord." We love you both and pray that through the days to come you will experience the depths of the love of God.
In Christ Alone,

Thank you all for your caring words. We sang a song this past Sunday that has been ministering to me this week..."Isn't He Good." He has truly blessed Sally and I with a special peace. Sal had blood tests done today and will go back for some more on Thursday. They are testing the hormone levels to make sure that all is well in there. Soooo...do keep praying. We need it.
Love you all...
Just want to let you two know that I am praying? I do empathize with you. God is good!!! Love you both
hey clif, i am sad how this turned out but as everyone else has said God is in control. i have had to learn that this week. we are having classes on ied's. they seem so impossible and i feel so helpless. Marines dont feel that way often. but i guess that is what 3 months of training is supposed to help me with. i try to rationalize in my head that i will be fine and will come home alive with everything still attached. but we have no promise of tomorrow and so i have to lay that at the feet of Jesus and let him take control. and as Romans 8:37-39 says absolutly nothing can seperate me from God's love. i have had a few chances to share this with a few fellow Marines and i pray that it will grab hold and that i will have a chance to share more about my Savior with them. we leave for 29 palms around the 11 of june. thanks for your prayers. i love you all and cant wait to see you in 10 months.
Thank you all for your love and support. It is a weird time, really. Of course disappointing. I keep asking Clif if we are really talking about babies and hormone levels and stuff. I feel like such a "grown up". As we have and will continue to trust God to give us children in His timing and at His will, it makes it much easier in this circumstance to trust Him and to believe that He has had His way. Reminds me of the hymn "Only Trust Him" Is that a song. At least it's a line in a hymn! So thank you again for your love and support. We love you all! It is so good to have family. And having family who are FAMILY is extra special.
Love,
Sal

Curtis we love you. I'm thankful and encouraged to hear how the Lord is working in your heart and life. He is God. He is worthy. He purchased your life with His blood. Only trust Him. I look forward to hearing more about what you are learning and how you are growing as I know there are always many lessons in hard circumstances.

Oh, Curtis . I love you. Im so proud of you. I understand so much the thought of being overwhelmed. You are doing the best thing you can do. In the mist of storms KEEP looking up! Keep Shareing the Love of your Lord, stay focused on that. He wants to know how badly we want to trust in Him. Curtis, Glorify His Name in ALL the Earth!!! What the outcome is of these next ten months is completely up to God. I am sitting on the edge of seat and praying diligently. OH, my Baby Brother, I Love you so much and will miss you so much.
Clif and Sally, perspective is everything. We are so gratified to see the scriptures employed to ascertain the answers to life's setbacks and sadnesses. We are certinly in sympathy with you over this loss to you,but grateful for God's grace on your behalf and Heaven's gain.
"His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches you." Our hearts are not troubled but grateful for God's intervention for His glory. This is a divine intervention and part of God's handiwork. Who can counsel Him? Who knows best? Who loves us most? Who is the God of all comfort? Is it not the Sovereign God to whom we pray, as our teacher taught us, "thy will be done on earth."
We love you and are praying for you.
Dad and Mom
