The boys are gone. We are devastated. Please pray. Hopefully soon we will be able to explain more of the details. As for now, we are living a nightmare. Last night was the death of a dream...the dream of the family we have prayed and prayed for and the dream of watching these precious boys grow. God will help us pick up the pieces, but right now it seems impossible to hope again. We don't know what God is doing, but we are clinging to Him and his goodness. Even though this does not feel like the goodness of God, we can be confident that He is here with us and that He is always good.
Jesus loves me this I know,
Amanda

The exciting and somewhat surreal adventures of a determined couple sauntering down life's mysterious and exciting highway...where does it begin? Somewhere in Texas.

Ever since I heard the news that the boys may be leaving I have been praying. I hardly slept last night thinking about what you both are growing through. My heart is heavy and I will continue to pray for you. Just cling to the Lord. He does love you!
You guys are in my prayers... and Bailee is praying for you too. We love you. I am just so sorry. There are no words to explain. Continue to cling to the Lord.... His LOVE endures FOREVER!
Words can't even express how sorry I am. You two are one of the most wonderful couples I know, so none of this makes any sense. Your faith is an inspiration to me and to everyone around you. I am praying that you will see and feel God's hand in this horrible situation, and I am praying for Jessie and Conner as they adjust to this new change. I know they will be missing you because you two are (and will be again) wonderful parents. Love you!
I am so sad and confused. I can not even fathom how you two must feel. I am so glad you two have each other and God to lean on in this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I pray the darkness and fog will lift soon. We love you guys!
I am so sorry - we will continue to pray.
My heart is so heavy, I can't begin to imagine how your's and Michael's heart's are breaking. When I think of this I cry, I have no words. Jay and I will continue to pray for you and them.
Carrie xo
No words, we will keep praying. We love yall.
Erick and Lauren
I am so sorry to hear the news. You guys are in our prayers. If you need a friend to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, please call me. I love you guys and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Victoria
Amanda and Michael...you have all our prayers and support.
You will come out of this haze so much wiser and stronger, and with no regrets for following God's path even if its rough and narrow. We are here for you when your ready and even when your not...
I love you!
Jenny
I don't know what to say except I am on my knees for your family. I love you and wish I could be there for you. I am not calling because I want to let you have time... Call me night or day if you need to talk to me. We are both praying that God shows you His will and goodness soon. I love you dearly and will call soon.
In His Grip,
Wanda and Hank
Amanda and Michael,
We are walking this road with you, every step of the way. We trust and know that our Awesome God has a plan for your lives (Jer. 29:11). No words can comfort you both right now, but i do hope that you both know how much you are loved, prayed for and are thought of each minute of the day. I am praying that in the midst of this darkness that you will see the joy and the goodness of God and that you will put your hopes and expectations in HIM. I will not stop praying for you two.
You are both loved dearly.
Margie
Hey Amanda, remember when you said how you would respond to your child when they questioned why thier life happened to them - I was so amazed at how fitting your response was and I am praying it for you now. It was when Jesus answered the disciples about who's sin had caused the man's blindness saying, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." I just pray that even though I can't see why this has been put on you two and I can't understand it's depth, that you are fully and completely restored to display once again the work of God in your life. Too much? :)
We love you.
Amanda,
Carrie L. told me you had a blog, so I googled it. Shane & I were so sad to hear what has happened. We wanted to tell you we are praying for you and Michael.
In Him,
Holly Bender
Amanda, my heart aches for the loss that has occured and for the pain that you and Michael are experiencing. I have wanted to talk to you so badly to let you know that we love you like family and we hurt when you hurt and laugh when you laugh. God has a mighty plan for your family and for the love that you can give to children, in time we will all know of His grand plan for you. In our prayers and hearts,,,Ben, Brenda, and Benjamin.
