I have been following Angie Smith's blog, Bring the Rain,for a long time. Her story of the death of her newborn baby is such a touching story, but even more important, is her faith. The faith she and her husband had and have through it all. I saw this video for the first time today!! Such a beautiful video and song. I also watched a video that their church did, just weeks after their precious baby girl was born and died only 2.5 hours later! They told their story from the beginning to end, and it is amazing to hear their incredible faith. Angie mentioned the times that were not easy, the times that she would spend in the car yelling at GOD, asking why? At the end of the video, she reminds us, this was not Plan B (the name of the church series), it may have been their plan B, but this was not God's. He knows the plan, nothing surprises Him.
What an incredible reminder....God is not surprised by anything. He is all-knowing. He knows every detail of every second of every day. For goodness sake, He knows every sparrow that falls out of the sky, HE KNOWS OUR PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE. I am so thankful, that I can rest assured knowing that no matter what the road ahead brings, my God is not surprised. I can trust that HE will walk right beside me through it all! Praise the Lord for that!!!
Here is the video....make sure you have a tissue or 5!!!
I follow Angie's blog too! She is so inspiring! I randomly found it last year, and proceeded to go back to her very first post and read all the way through.
This song is on the ,I believe newest, Selah CD. I love it because although it is a definite tear-jerker, it has such a story and faith behind it!

Life Verse: "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act." Prov. 24:12
While we try to teach our children all about life,Our children teach us what life is all about.~Angela Schwindt
"People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow, Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God, It never was between you and them anyway..." - Mother Teresa
