What doctors don't know...


Carly Thomas was born with a genetic disorder called Trisomy 18. The doctors painted a bleak picture of death and suffering for our little girl. They mentioned, "No quality of life, no smiles of recognition, vegetable like existence. These babies don't survive. They aren't compatible with life" they said.." A week a month at the most. Prepare for death, don't get too attached." What they didn't know was that Carly was a special creation. Psalm 139:14"... fearfully and wonderfully made marvellous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well ." Not only did she live 11 years beyond her doctor prescribed expiration date, she smiled, interacted, expressed love and attained a quality of life many of us normal folks will never know. Though she couldn't feed herself, walk or talk , she was a perfect creation for God's purpose. Isa 43:7..." for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, yea I have made him." Carly was a gift from God to all who knew her. Her beautiful smile and sweet spirit brought God's love and peace to tangibility . The contentment in Carly's presence was undeniable. She loved. She forgave. She waited. Created in God's own image so that we could know Him through her. God's purpose: to bring us to Him, that we might know Him and His plans for us. Plans to prosper us and give us eternal life with Him.

She's With Me

http://youtu.be/oj6GXVTAOiU Great song by artist Collin Raye. The words are perfect for the way we feel about "our girl"  The little girl in the video is Collin's grandaughter and so, so reminds of Carly. What a blessed tribute... God uses the weak things of this world to confound the things which are mighty.
