3. Renee V. (happystamper05) September 16th, 2008 at 10:35 pm 3

   Oh Lauren….

   You are making perfect sense to me, if that’s any consolation. {{{HUGS}}}

   You and Alexa have been though some really rough times before and God has always lead you through them. He won’t leave you now nor never.

   Lots or prayers and good thoughts are going up for you. I pray that your questions will be answered tomorrow, that the tests will all come back with good news, and that your worries and fears will be eased, if only a little.

   If you need to talk, you know where to find me, okay? Try and get some sleep. Your “psf prayer warriors” are on this, okay? I’ll be thinking of you and Alexa. ♥

   Hugs and Love,
   Renee

   ********Lauren********

   I pray a great covering of peace over you, Lauren. May you feel the presence of the Lord Almighty as you go through your day tomorrow. May He lift you up when you feel down, hold you when you feel like you are going to burst, comfort you in times of uncertainty and turn your face to His as He whispers “I am always with you, I will never leave you…I have not forgotten you nor what you have been through. I have a great plan and am working that to fruition. Remain in me and I will lead and guide you and comfort you. I am your rock on which can stand. Fear not for I am with you. Turn to me and give me all of your troubles, all of your fears, all of your heartache. I love you.”

   Renee is right Lauren – we’re all praying for you and Alexa. You’re such a good mom – it’s your job to “over-worry”. Be strong and know that we’re with you.

   Hugs,
   Julie

8. MARILYN NIMMO September 16th, 2008 at 10:56 pm 8

   The unknown is always frightening–and wondering if the known bad is returning is even worse! We will all hope and pray that your fears are based on exhaustion! Best of everything through the next few days.

9. Kathy September 16th, 2008 at 11:02 pm 9

   God bless you for all you have been through already!!! I will most definitely have a place in my prayers for you and your precious little girl!! Best of luck tomorrow!!

11. judy anderson September 16th, 2008 at 11:04 pm 11

    It makes sense to me. Try screaming in the car and you might find release into tears. God gave us tears to see the rainbow.

12. Becky P. September 16th, 2008 at 11:08 pm 12

    Sometimes both screaming and crying is the best medicine. Your family is in my thoughts, and I hope you get good news tomorrow. Never apologize for the stress you feel when it comes to the health of a child. Anything you are feeling right now is valid and understandable. Please know whatever happens you have the love and prayers of your “cyberfriends”.

13. Melissa D. (SCS honeybee7896) September 16th, 2008 at 11:08 pm 13

    You and your family are in my prayers. I have not been where you are but I do have kids and know that having them is not easy on our nerves. I hope that you get good news and what you are worried about is just normal kid stuff. Please keep us updated on what you find out.

14. Julie Masse September 16th, 2008 at 11:19 pm 14

    Saying prayers for you and Alexa right now Lauren . . . for a good night sleep and for a great outcome tomorrow!

    Love Ana

20. Debbie September 17th, 2008 at 12:11 am 20

    Lauren,
    I’ll be thinking of you and your family tomorrow. The unknown is always so frightening. Things are always worse when you are tired, so try to get some rest. Alexa has been such a trooper. Hang in there, and from the looks of things, you have alot of people praying for you. Keep us posted on Alexa and know we are thinking of you.
    Debbie

21. Sarah September 17th, 2008 at 12:14 am 21

    Lauren,
    Hang in there. I know you will- this is one of the things you do best. It must be really “old”, and I am sure you are so tired of dealing with this! But some things we just have no control over. However, (and I know you know this) GOD is in control! And He will always have you- and Alexa- right there in the palm of His hand. Please keep trying to give it all over to Him. You troubles and worries may seem too big for you at times- but they are never too big for Him!
    It is interesting to see your post tonight; Caroline just asked me about an hour or so ago about Alexa and how she is doing! We will be sure to say extra prayers for her tonight.
    Know you have lots of people who love and support you and who will keep you and your precious Alexa in prayer.
    Sending big (((hugs))) too!

22. Heather Schlatter September 17th, 2008 at 12:23 am 22

    Lauren, I am not sure if you read the post I posted about My Son Tucker’s Health update when you visited my blog today to check out the Saturday Sketch, but I totally get where you are at!

    We have recently been thru a cancer scare, and it is horrible. Especially being a nurse I new all the “what if’s” and that made it worse. He was diagnosed with Transient Hyperphosphatasia which is supposed to be benign, but a lot of stuff I looked up talked about Cancer. I was a total wreck inside!

    I sent out an e-mail to all family, friends, and Stamping Buddies to ask for Prayer and thoughts for him. We got so much Prayer I think if calmed my nerves and helped me to see it differently and hand it over to God!

    We got some good news this week, but I know where you are right now!

    I will say a prayer for both you and your mind set thru this difficult time, and for Alexa that God keep her precious little body in his arms and guide her thru this as he sees fit!

    Hang in there Girl I know all your Stamping Followers are praying for you!

23. diane mcvey September 17th, 2008 at 12:30 am 23

    I hope you are asleep now, and that God is taking your worry and fears away. May you have a good day Wednesday, and so many of us are praying that all is well with Alexa. It’s horrible to go through these difficult times, but no one does it better than YOU. You are amazing. Stay strong, and keep getting rest. That and God’s care will sustain you! 😀 Big HUGS from me to you…

24. Tanya September 17th, 2008 at 12:34 am 24

    I understand the scream/cry thing very well. Both are good.
    When I got “older” and stresses on the family were affecting me too, my mom would say “we need to scream, ok?” and she and I would count to three and screeeeeam! 😀 It helps!
    People are definitely praying for you and your family. Good luck tomorrow.

25. Monica September 17th, 2008 at 12:37 am 25

    Hugs to you Lauren! I am saying prayers for you and Alexa and hope everything is fine. Take care and breathe deeply! Hugs to you!

26. Kristie September 17th, 2008 at 12:57 am 26

    If quantity helps…you and Alexa (and your whole family) are in so many people’s thought and prayers right now. You bring so much joy and happiness into our lives through your beautiful creations, I only hope that you know how much we all appreciate you and feel for you in your tough times. Hang in there and know that so many people are thinking of you and praying for you. Good luck, Kristie

27. Becky September 17th, 2008 at 1:02 am 27

    Lauren….Love you. Such hardships to bear sometimes. Your cross is very heavy, but your spirit is so light. You are such a wonderful inspiration to everyone around you. We love you very much.

    Lauren,

    I completely understand your worries and anxiety, but know that a special prayer is being said even well into the middle of the night for your Alexa. Just take a big deep breath and let GOD take your worries away.

    You hang in there and if you need anything please shout!

47. Donna Baker September 17th, 2008 at 7:40 am 47

    {{hugs}} and prayers for Alexa, you & the rest of the family. Whatever life throws at you God will keep you close and get you through. But I’m praying for a GOOD REPORT! When life would get stressful when my oldest sister and I worked & commuted together we would crank up the radio, roll up the windows & scream at the top of our lungs – it was such a good release! Just an idea – other times crying is the best. You do what you have to do. God will do the rest.

48. Cheryl Sims September 17th, 2008 at 7:46 am 48

    This all makes perfect sense to me, Lauren. Not a day goes by but what your entire family is in my prayers and today I will say extra ones. Positive thoughts!!!
    Cheryl

49. Donna G September 17th, 2008 at 7:50 am 49

50. Kenna September 17th, 2008 at 7:53 am 50

    Lauren, Alexa and the entire family will be in my thoughts today. Your entry made complete sense to me too. Praying you receive the answers you need today.

51. Kirsten September 17th, 2008 at 8:00 am 51

    Hugs to you and Alexa, my friend! I’ve been still praying for her every night with Wyatt, and will continue to do so. Keep us updated on what’s going on with her as you’re able.

52. Melissa F. September 17th, 2008 at 8:02 am 52

    I’m praying that everything will be fine with Alexa’s test. Stay strong.

53. Gerri K September 17th, 2008 at 8:10 am 53

    Lauren,
    You are both in my prayers. Hang in there!

54. Suzanne Dean September 17th, 2008 at 8:15 am 54

    Oh, Lauren—a mother’s intuition is always the best thing to listen to. Noone knows your kids better than you. I pray that all is well for Alexa and sending out hugs and well wishes for your whole family.

    hugz,
    Suzanne Dean

55. Wendi September 17th, 2008 at 8:16 am 55

    Lauren-
    I have been reading your blog for a while but I *think* this is my first comment! I also have a daughter that battled leukemia (AML) and I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have done the same thing: obsessed over a bruise, a long nap, a lingering cold, the hue of her skin…all of it. Remember that the spirit of fear does not come from God. And remember that what we ask for in prayer is given to us if we just BELIEVE. And one more thing: it does get easier. Trust me. My dd has been cancer-free for almost 7 years—and she’s only 8 years old! You can’t worry it away…give it to God and don’t take it back!
    Prayers for peace and a good doctor’s report! Update when you can!

56. Barb September 17th, 2008 at 8:16 am 56

    Lauren, Alexa and you are both in my thoughts and prayers!!! BIG HUGS!!!

57. Pat September 17th, 2008 at 8:18 am 57

    Lauren,

    I just want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I can’t imagine what you are going through everyday with Alexa. I hope everything turns out just fine. Take care.

58. Bonnie aka raduse September 17th, 2008 at 8:30 am 58

    Oh Lauren, I just saw Renee’s note about Alexa’s testing and came here right away. Prayers have already been said. Cry it out girlfriend and get the stress out. God is in control and will take care of you and Alexa.

59. Laura G. September 17th, 2008 at 8:31 am 59

    I hope you awoke to a sunny day today, Lauren, and all your news for Alexa turns out to be positive. It is so hard when your child has a problem you are powerless to fix. Add me to the group of well-wishers offering prayers and positive thoughts as we await your update that Alexa is doing well.

60. joyclynn September 17th, 2008 at 8:35 am 60

64. Kristen Dyer September 17th, 2008 at 9:36 am 64

    Lauren, I say scream and cry. Let it out. I have no idea what is going on but I pray it isn’t what you think. Alexa is in my thoughts and prayers, along with you and the rest of your family. I hope things get better for you, and know that all of your “fans” are here for you. Always, Kristen

    remember what a tough little girl you have

65. Michelle September 17th, 2008 at 9:47 am 65

    You can count on my prayers for Alexa….and you!

    2Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (or fear…..my addition), but a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline.”

    God is with you every step of the way. He longs to lift the burdens from your shoulders and the fear from your heart. Alexa will be allright for He loves her more than you.

    BIG HUGS and MIGHTY PRAYERS!

66. bronih September 17th, 2008 at 9:53 am 66

    Lauren,

    Please note that Alexa is in my thoughts and prayers. I think us moms always think worse than it really is. Alexa is a strong girl, and you will get back positive news.

    if there is anything i could do please let me know.

    big hugs to you.

    OM Gosh Lauren-I wish I could come right up to NH and help out…I’m sorry you are so worried. I will pray that all is ok – and that whatever it is thats concerning you is for other, less serious reasons.

    PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING – even if it’s to vent, or take your mind off of things for a bit – you can listen to the girls act like animals 😉

    Love you – hang in there {{{HUGS}}} for you and Alexa

88. LouAnne September 17th, 2008 at 11:12 am 88

    Hey, Lauren
    When you get the chance to read these posts, scan the times that they were posted. You and Alexa and your family were “bathed in prayer” the whole night through, and the prayer continues today. I love that about this blog!
    There’s someone reading it almost continually!
    You are truly blessed, not only by God, but by your amazing cyber buddies.Your faith so far has been a wonderful witness to God’s faithfulness in your lives.
    Keep the faith, Dear One.
    Love, LouAnne

89. Dawn Easton September 17th, 2008 at 11:17 am 89

    (((Lauren))) I’m sorry that you are so worried about Alexa right now but I’m sure all will be okay…keep the faith. You know I’m thinking of you all and will be praying for a good outcome.
    It’s okay to scream or cry…let it out…it’s no good to you all bottled up inside….that is enough to bring you to pieces.
    Sending BIG hugs to you!!

90. marisa (whiterockmama) September 17th, 2008 at 11:26 am 90

    You make perfect sense, Lauren! A mother’s heart is such a tender, loving, burden bearing, and protective thing when it comes to our kids. I pray you will sense the Lord’s peace over you in the midst of this storm. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Phil 4:6-7 Remember God is our refuge and our strength and He doesn’t ask us to go things alone – take His hand and let Him touch you in the innermost depths of your being with a love that transcends all understanding.

91. Jerri Kay September 17th, 2008 at 11:33 am 91

    Lauren, God is with you, He knows your every thought, prayer, and heartbeat. Stay with Him in prayer, He’ll see Alexa, you, and your family through this, have faith! My prayers are with you.

92. Giovana September 17th, 2008 at 11:33 am 92

     The unknown can be scary and sometimes it is hard to give it totally over to Christ, however, he already knows and he is in control and he will hold all of you up and surround you with his peace and his love. Trust in the power of Christ. Karen

     Dear Lauren,
     I know we don’t know each other except in the land of SCS. I don’t want to intrude in your privacy…I just want to share a verse that gives me strength during difficult times.
