August 14th, Saying good bye to Olivia

On Saturday Aug. 14th at 4:30 in the afternoon we had to say good bye to our dear sweet Olivia, after 73 days of fighting Olivia went to be with Jesus.  Now she is twirling in heaven and her pain has given way to rejoicing.  We were fortunate to spend the whole day surrounded by family and special friends like Pastor Josh and Mackensie.
Sunday we packed up Ronald McDonald House and came home.  Crystal and Justus are comforting each other and enjoying Ezra and Evangeline.
I want to thank everybody who so diligently kept up with this blog and checked fb so you could pray for her and us.  God did not choose to heal Olivia here but your prayers did not go unheard. We were held up by your love.
There will be a celebration of that love and Olivia's life on Saturday Aug. 21st at New Song Calvary Chapel in Lake Elsinore at 11AM followed by a potluck lunch with lots of love and fellowship.
Everybody is welcome.

Romans 8:26-30

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because [6] the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, [7] for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified
