Praying for total and complete healing of your son! With God NOTHING is impossible!
Psalm 91:15-16
“They will call to me, and I will answer them. I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
I will give them a long full life,
and they will see how I can save.”
Stay strong Collin!!!

Amanda, you made me cry again today. My heart and prayers go out for you and Collin each and every day! You are touching many lives with your writings each time. You have a special gift to reach out and touch people with your words. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and give you peace through this difficult time! I’m sending my hugs to you, too! xoxo
