Dear Prayer Warriors,
I wanted to let you know that my husband, Ray, went back to his physician yesterday regarding the cancerous tumor he had removed last Friday. He got a good report! Even though it was cancer, it is low grade and will require no treatments-just frequent check-ups!! We are praising the Lord for this report and I wanted to thank all of you for lifting us up in prayer. I am truly thankful for Hannahs Hope Ministries and the outlet we have to post our prayer requests and know that God’s people will pray. We absolutely cannot make it without the body of Christ. Thank you all and God bless you!!

Hello everyone-
Dad’s cancer has spread to his lymph system, his liver and colon. He’s decided again against any treatment. Prognosis is not good as you can expect. The new oncologist has suggested calling in Hospice.
Resting in God’s peace and coveting you prayers….

Hello everyone-
Well, my Dad decided to have a second opinion and today met his new oncologist, Dr. Fanning, in Greenville. He also decided to go ahead with a round of chemo. So now we face the chemo rollar coaster and all that goes with it. He’ll have his first round next week. He also goes for a PET scan to see if there is any other metastasis. The new doctor told him today 2-3 months w/o treatment and maybe a year with treatment.
So for now, we continue to rest and wait on the Lord. That is the best place for Dad to be. Thank you all for your prayer support- I need my prayer warriors!!
Grace and peace,
Angela

Hope, Debbie, and the entire HHM team-
Thank you all so much for your prayer support. It means so much to me and my family. I’m sitting here writing in tears thinking about my sweet Daddy, as you so eloquently put it. It is so hard to be here, not by his side. But, the Lord knows this is where I am supposed to be, caring for other pts, until its time for me to go back.
These next weeks are not going to be easy, but like your devotional beautifully described- I’ll rest in the Lord this day and everyday………
Grace and peace

Hello, Angela. We are praying for you sweet Daddy - and for peace for the family. His prayer request is on the mark! For rest in the Lord and his eternal healing. Wow! Thank you, Angela for allowing us to pray for Mr. Kent and for continuing to follow this ministry. God used you as an incredible supporting friend as one of Hannah’s caregivers at M.D. Anderson. May God grant you and your Dad that same care in return! Keep us posted.
In Hannah’s Hope,
Hope

Hello all-
Just got back from SC after visiting with my Dad last week. He now has about 2 months, or so the doc’s say. He has decided not to do any chemo/radiation on the lung/brain CA.
Please continue to pray for us as we complete this part of our journey….until the Lord calls him home to be by His side. That is what he prays for everyday- to rest in the Lord., and have his eternal healing.
My parents names are Harry and Kay Kent. They live in Iva, SC.
Hope, your devotionals have been just what I’ve needed over the past couple of weeks…….
Grace and peace,

Dear Debbie,
I am always amazed at how our Lord and Savior has not only sustained you through Hannah’s experience, but strengthened you as well.
I ‘met’ Hannah (and family) through Linda McCauley, and I have felt like I know Hannah though we never physically met. Her testimony (and yours) continues to be an inspiration to all of us who are connected through your journals and witness to others.
Thank you and God continue His blessings upon you and your family…
July 29th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Thank you, Gene Martin! I look forward to meeting you - maybe this weekend? Love to you Aunt Florence.

July 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Thanks so much for logging on so quickly! You’ll notice I post daily devotionals and Deb, Hannah’s mom posts periodically. I believe you’ll find Hannah’s story to be pretty incredible. I’ll look you up next time I’m in Bryson.
July 25th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Thank you for all the great encouragement!
July 25th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Hello, Kayla. We are so glad to hear that you have completed the study of Hannah’s One Wish. Our Hannah submitted her story while in M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. That was an incredible opportunity for her. Thank you for your kind words! May God grow you in your relationship with Him. He is an awesome God and desires to have a personal relationship with each of us. Take care.
July 24th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Hey Debbie and Mickey:
I just wanted to say hello and let you know what an inspiration that Hannah’s story has been to me, my family and friends. We continue to pray for you and your ministry-what a blessing you are to so many people! What a ministry Hannah has and continues to be to so many people! What an outstanding young woman that you guys were blessed with. I look forward to meeting her in Heaven someday!

Deb.
As vacation bible school is approaching us fast. Im reminded of Hannah and all the times she got to spend in Ky. for vbs. My kids are always so excited about vbs and Hannah was always one of their big buddies. Never enough time that was forsure, cause we would have to stay till all the kids was dropped of and the vbs van was loaded and out of sight. Not enough back rides either. Hannah was very special to vbs. We think about her and the memories all the time. Remembering you and yours in our prayers. Cant wait to see you at vbs.

Hello again-
Well, my dad has stage IV lung/brain CA- primary origin in the lung. He is going to have a lung biopsy at 0730am Monday at Anderson Memorial Hospital. Noone ever expects to hear the “worst” of the prognoses. However, that is what we are facing.
But God in his infinite wisdom knew this was going to happen and he already knows the outcome. Praise God that my dad rests seucrely in his Heavenly Father’s hand!
Please be in prayer for this procedure and everything else that the Lord has in store for the days to come.
Grace and peace,
Angela Lee

Deb-
I visit everyday and have been since August of 2006. I came upon your website when my friend also had a website at Caring Bridge sharing her prayers and thoughts while her son was walking in leukemia. He passed away in August 2006 shortly after I came upon your website. I have only signed in a couple of times and today after reading your journal entry I had to write and let you know that you are a servant of the Lord who shares the Spirits heartfelt words to us who wait & listen. Purpose, direction, focus, meaning & goals are timely words for today..Thank you for sharing them so that I too may pray those words over my children as you have your son…God bless you in the days ahead….Charlotte
June 14th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
I will pray and keep thoughts with those of Hannah’s Hope. I recently learned of this web site from my Chrisitian radio station 97.7 fm/Castalia, Ohio. Blessings to all.
June 8th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Hello all-
It has been quite some time since I have written. I am truly mazed at what God had done through this precious ministry! I am still reminded of Hannah’s hope and life on a daily basis. It was a true pleasure to care for her at MDA.
The last time I had written, my grandfather had died of Lymphoma (just a little over year ago). Just this past week my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It has affected the right side of his body and his ability to speak/think/process. We are in the early stages of diagnosis/prognosis. I’ve though about having my dad contact Dr. Corso and will do so if he doesn’t like his first referral.
I covet your prayers through this difficult time. May the Lord receive all the praise and glory!

Hello from NC! It was an honor to tell Hannah’s story and too meet Debbie, Hannah and Clay. I pray all goes well with the production process and that many churches around the world will also tell Hannah’s story, via Judgement House. They will be blessed and thousands of souls will be reached. May God Bless your ministry and family.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Hi, this last weekend i was Hannah in the 5th scene of the judgement house in Burnsville, NC. Hannahs story has impacted my life in so many ways. And i know that God is going to continue to use her story. I couldnt believe the faith your family had. Especially Debbie. You all have changed my life and so has Hannahs story. Thank you so much for allowing our community to use Hannahs story.
May 11th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Hi! My name is Chris and we met this weekend at West Burnsville Baptist church. I was a guide for the Judgement House. What an honor to tell Hannah’s Story. Out of the 3 JH that I have been apart of, this touched me so much more. The Lord showed up in a real way. I know that I will never be the same. As my husband Mark said, we can really see God through you, He just flows out of you. To be that vessel.. that is my prayer. I believe that a total of 20 Salvations and 40+ rededications were recorded and 631 seeds were sown this week at JH! How amazing. God is so good. Your family and your ministry will be in my familys prayers. Thank you again for sharing your faith.
May 11th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Hi iam Chris Tilley. Yesterday we finish hannah’s hope at west burnsville baptist church it as been really a ride to getting ready do this play and to tear down. And I would like to thank you for coming to west burnsville baptist church I got to meet you and you are really strong. I played jacob in sceen 2a I am really thankful that I got to be apart of this life touching play ,but we will all get to see each other when we get to heaven and that will be a glorious day. I am thankful that I got to bring more people to the kingdom of god and his many kindoms. And I will pray for you guys all the time Thanks from a friend Chris Tilley
May 9th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Hey, im Lauren. Just about an hour or two ago i finished watching the Judgement House play of Hannah’s life. In such a short time this has touched me, deeply. I saw the people that played in Hannah’s life, and i wondered, how did this girl do it? But i know it was through her Faith in God. I watched and i said “Lord, please make me to be as strong as that. I have slipped away from you, and it hurts me.” But this play has opened my eyes to what really matters. This is the most touching story that i have ever experienced, and i will never forget this girl, or her story.
May 5th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Hi….my name is Samantha and I did not know Hannah personally. But I can say that through all that I have heard of her and her faith I feel like I know her. I am excited and blessed to be able to say that I am in the Judgement House Play that is taking place in Burnsville, NC, and I am Hannah in the heaven scene. All I really know to say is thank you Mickey and Deb, for making Hannah’s story public!! I also have your family in my prayers. I also pray that when I play Hannah, the people that come through do not see me, but they see Hannah. And what a huge and great blessing she was to everyone even if they didn’t know her. Thanks once again, and I am praying!
May 5th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Hey my name is Sara Bradley. I am from Mars Hill, NC. I first heard of Hannahs story last year when we had “Eight Day” come to our church. I couldn’t help but tear up listening to Hannahs song.. But it was mostly tears of joy knowing that she had touched so many people before she died and her story is continuing to touch the hearts and lives of people. God bless all of you!!!
I am going to be attending a “Judgement House” this thursday which is about hannah… I can’t wait to see it. And I will pray that hearts will be touched by her story.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Hope, This is the first time I have visited this web site.I am Rhonda Robinsons house keeper.I had the priviledge to meet Debbie briefly at Rhondas house she displayed such a great amount of courage during what i am sure was one of the most difficult times in her life.I also got to meet you.And i was so touched by the courage you showed also.Just wanted to let you all know that i pray for all of you and the ministrie that you have started.Hanna is still through Jesus Christ touching and changing so many lives.God bless you all, Betty Soules
May 4th, 2008 at 8:28 am
We lived 3 doors down from the Sobeski’s. Last May, we moved to Florida. I am still so touched by Hannah’s story. I tell everyone that I know. My daughter Heather and I will be participating in Relay for Life here in Jackonville, FL, and we are walking not in memory of Hannah, but to honor her life and her testimony.
April 27th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I would say it was an accident that I came upon your website, but it was the Lord. I have a precious little 2 1/2 year old daughter named Hannah who has Downs Syndrome and has undergone 2 open-heart surgeries already. I have a strong faith in the Lord, but sometimes you need an extra boost of encouragement and I received that tonight as I read your entire website. May God continue to bless you as you minister to others. Through the tragedy of your loss, God has enabled you to spread the gospel and HOPE of Him to others.
April 7th, 2008 at 3:19 am
We Bless You Lord - We give You thanks!
April 5th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Thank you for continuing to worship God in a way that is special to your circumstances. Thanks, too, for giving me spiritual encouragement.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I just watched the DVD last nite that I got from a friend. I was unable to attend church at Chesnee Baptist last week when someone came and gave the testimony because I had to work. I just wanted to say this story is AMAZING it made we really realize how weak I am in my Faith. I have been going through a difficult finnacial time esp being a single dad..and have been putting my trust in God but yet I doubt……I HOPE AND PRAY THAT I CAN STRENGTHEN MY FAITH TO BE AS STRONG AS HERS.
March 30th, 2008 at 6:47 am
Deb,
I am so thankful for this site. I can not wait for V.B.S in Ky. I hope that my children and I will get to see you and Mickey again this year.

Please email me at info@hannahshopeministries.org for us to discuss Judgement House. We are very excited about your church telling Hannah’s story. Thanks so much!
Hope
March 13th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I am in charge of the drama aspect of “Hannah’s Hope” for a Judgement House production that will take place in early May. Your site made the script real for me and I would like permission to make copies of your Christmas family photo and a photo of Hannah to give to the cast members so your story becomes part of their hearts as we prayerfully put together this time of outreach to our community. I would also like to discuss some of the details of what happened when to get a better handle on what we should focus on in each scene. Much love and prayers. Alice Hutchins
February 29th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I just viewed Hannah’s Hope and was touched by her faith. My wife and I saw on the news when Hannah was crowned Home Coming Queen.
God bless you in your ministry.
I think Deb is going to be at the Womens Conference in May.
Our ladies are looking forward for this event.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:29 am
I attended CrossRoads Baptist Church’s Chocolate Delight Night last night and was so moved, inspired and challenged by the words God gave Debbie. I’ve been familiar with Hannah’s story for some time and it’s amazing how God keeps it fresh and new every time. Thank you, Debbie, for taking time for my friend Kim Dellinger. She is such a precious woman and I prayed all day that she would be there and that she would receive a special blessing. I believe she did. God is using you in a mighty way and I thank you for your willingness to be used.
February 13th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
My friend asked me to come to her new church for a ladies small group with a guest speaker (we didn’t know what it was about). I had no idea that I would be so touched and inspired by your precious daughters story. I had tunnel vision on you not wanting to miss a thing. It is so obvious that you and your husband instiled in her the seed to grow this beautiful flower to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. I know God sent me to this small group to be witnessed to by Hannah. I already have strong faith in God, but now it has been renewed even more! It feels so good. Thank you Hannah, thank you God!
I will now share this experience with my church in hopes to have my pastor invite you to come spread the Word.
Thank you and praise be to God! Rhonda
February 12th, 2008 at 10:26 am
I attended the ladies meeting at Praise Cathedral last Saturday. You really ministered to my soul. Thank you for doing God’s Work.

Prayer Warriors,
Please be praying for my cousin Jared Harris. He was just diagnosed Jan. 29, 08 with Adenocarcinoma. Chemo will be an option but there is so much cancer that it may not help. He has been given one year to live. Jared is a Christian man, 36 yrs old, married and father to a 17 mth old daughter. He is the Blacksburg High art teacher. He loves life and has continued to remain optimistic. We believe that with prayer, faith, and hope Jared can pull through this and be completely healed. We know that our God can work miracles! Please be praying - add him to prayer lists at your church and if you want let me know so I can tell him just how many people are praying for him! My GOD recieve all the glory!
February 1st, 2008 at 7:58 am
Dear Hope,
I had to let you know how blessed I was during our brief meeting yesterday. When I saw “Hannah’s Hope” and the light was on, I was more curious than anything. I thought it may be a special room set aside for meditation but to my surprise what I discovered was your office filled by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Once I walked in I knew it was a holy place. I felt His love from my head to my toes. As I mentioned I followed Hannah’s journey online, so I feel I know your family personally. Your faith and dedication to Hannah’s legacy have been inspiring. You and your family are like silver that the Master has refined (Psalm 66:10-12). May you all continue to be blessed and encouraged that the torch continues to burn. God bless!
January 17th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I pray for your family. What an awesome God we have. He will see you through anything!!!
January 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Hey!* i dont know yall personally but have heard yalls powerful testimony at my church. Im a senior at Gaffney High School this year and i want you to know that this site has been a huge blessing for me. I was so moved by Hannah’ testimony last year, and now i feel as if i knew her.

I come to this site and read the devotionals on here.God truly speaks through yall and some days i dont think i could get through if i didnt have such an encouragement as this.I had to do a powerpoint on someone who had an important life and i did it on Hannah. I truly admire her Faith and cant wait to meet her one day!thank you so much for the time u put into this.
January 10th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Hi, I got your email today about what all is going on within the minstry here. I am so glad things are going well and that Hannah continues to inspire others. She was one heck of a good kid and her legacy will carry on. Thanks for keeping me posted!

Hannah’s Hope Ministry has become an integral part of my devotional time each and every day this year. I have prayed over your ministry, and prayed for each of you individually as you carry Hannah’s torch. Beautiful Hannah can be assured that more than one individual is forever changing because of her faith and testimony…it is an honor and privilege to be included.
Blessed Merry CHRISTmas to all of you.

Thank-you for your visit to Clemson, Mrs. Debbie! I was stressed to the max when you arrived as I was doing last minute studying for Chemistry, but your prayer worked! My nerves were calmed–I was focused–and guess what!? I made an A in the class! I was so so excited, and I really appreciate the encouragement that you gave me this past friday!
I was on the eastside of town earlier, and I decided that before I go back to school, I’m going to make a trip to visit Hannah and sit and talk with her for a while. However, the last time I tried to visit her, I couldn’t find exactly where she was, so expect a call from me within the next week or so!
I love you all, and I’ll talk to you soon Mrs. Debbie!
December 16th, 2007 at 11:51 am
Hello.. Just want to let you know you still in our prayers..

DEBBIE AND MICHA THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE DVD “HANNAH’S JOURNEY” I JUST RECIEVED IT HERE AT WORK TODAY. WHAT A BLESSING! I STILL REMEMBER THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE OF HANNAH AND HOW SHE TOUCHED MY LIFE HERE AT M.D. ANDERSON TONIGHT WHEN I GET HOME I’M TO WATCH MY LITTLE ANGEL’S JOURNEY AND REMEMBER HOW BLESSED AND HONORED I WAS TO CARE FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL YOUNG WOMEN. MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS.

Reading your story really blessed my heart. I recently finished up 12 rounds of chemo for my Hodgkins disease, and only God can comfort a soul, and give strentgh to a soul going trough a journey like cancer patients do. Your story was very touching and it blessed my heart in so many ways.

Hello pastor,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and saviour Jesus
Christ . Sir actually its joy to find out that you are serving the
LORD right from what I read from your website on the internet. And l
am pleased with the good job that your ministry is doing and l
really love to be amongst you mostly in prayers and in ministering
together . Pray for our ministry down here in KENYA that GOD will
empower us and provide resources for us to get out to reach to many
out here who have not received Him as their LORD and savior for we as
christians are convinced that only agreed upon prayers bring forth
breakthroughs. Finally pastor doors are open for you and your ministry
to come and minister to us and start your ministry here in KENYA .
Read psalms 133. Waiting to hear from you soon . God bless you and may
your work for Him be great.
In Christ.

Dearest Deb,
I am thinking of you this week–especially yesterday–and trusting you to our Heavenly Father. I’m assured He will provide you with all the strength and peace you need this holiday season, and that your memories will bring you such comfort and joy. I pray that the pain with those memories will be overshadowed by the love that comes with them.
God is using you and your testimony to minister healing to our hearts. Thank you for that.
Love,
Susan

I had the great pleasure in meeting with you Nov. 16th at the Summit Pointe the conference on Pain Management. Dr. Corso did an awesome presentation esp. the second hour when he shared his love for our Lord Jesus and having Hannah as his patient.
You signed my book and later Hope signed it also. Thankyou for sharing your love in our merciful God.

How much my daughter and I loved hearing you speak–the Lord is using you in such a mighty way—-We continue to pray for you all—prayer is the defining connection among the children of God—How special for all of us to be a part of His one big family—–we have such blessings that it is hard to wrap your mind around them—continue on—go forward—day after day —with Him, holding you by the hand and you stepping in his footprings—for He surely goes before you—
Love,Barbara

Dear Mickey, Debbie and family,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Mickey’s mother, Doris. As Mickey’s family travels home for the funeral, the whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad they were all able to gather for the happier time of the reunion in October. Mickey, I have never met you but feel I know you from being a friend of Ann’s all these years she has been in Okeechobee. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dear Debbie and Hope,
Thank you for sharing Hannah’s hope with the ladies of Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church. Your willingness to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through the life of your precious Hannah, was truely a blessing to each of us.
I was personally blessed by God as I listened to the powerful message straight from a mother’s heart. The strength God has bestowed upon you, Debbie, is so evident throughout your message. I praise God that he can take any situation, and use it for His glory!
November 14th, 2007 at 9:22 am
Dear Debbie and Hope,
What a wonderful blessing you were to the ladies of Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church last night! Thank you so much for coming to share with us this indredible journey that you are on. Your stong faith and hope in Jesus Christ is so evident and such an inspiration. His words through you touched my heart in a mighty way. May God richly bless you and Hannah’s Hope Ministries and all of the many lives you are touching.
November 11th, 2007 at 10:20 am
This Sunday we read this story in our dicussion group. It was very tragic, but her faith in Christ was so strong that she felt strong the whole time.
November 10th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
We are using the book “Hannah One Wish” in our youth girls Sunday school class and I am filling in for the regular teach and just read your daughters letter in it today and decide to look at this website. Thank you for sharing your heart. May our Lord continue to give you all peace as you celebrate our Savior and the life of one his children. Blessings
November 9th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Dear Sobeski family. I am praying for you and your family on this day and always. As you celebrate Hannah’s first year in heaven, remember all the things you have done for HIM using her testimony this year. All the souls that were drawn to him, all the people that were encouraged, all the hearts that were healed and blessed. Keep caring the torch. God has blessed you with a unique ability at the cost of a precious child, but you have stood firm and he has been faithful.
I too will Carry the Torch!
November 9th, 2007 at 7:47 am
Dear Sobeski Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you on this day of celebration and remberance. I spent time pyaying for your family during my quiet time. I pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding as you celebrate Hannah’s life. Her life has touched so many people, and many will come to know the Lord by the way she lived out her faith. Her testimony is burned in the hearts of so many, and it is my prayer that the Lord will continue to be glorified for many years to come. Your daughter was special to the community but more importantly, special to God. Thank you for sharing your hearts with the community, reminding us that there is hope in the Lord. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you.
November 9th, 2007 at 7:33 am
Praying for continued peace for you all. Today I smile as I think of Hannah and how special she was and continues to be to so many. Even to those still learning about her and her relationship with our Heavenly Father. She was and continues to be an inspiration even to Riley at 5 who only understands a small part of it all. Thank you for the example you have set before us and for being so willing to carry the torch. I know you have all made Hannah proud!
November 9th, 2007 at 7:26 am
Thinking of all of your today!! What a special young woman your Hannah was…… and you guys are certainly carrying the torch forward for her!
November 9th, 2007 at 6:38 am
Dear Debbie,Mickey,Andrew, Michael, Aunt Hope, Uncle Clay, Caleb, Grandma Ellen and Poppy,
Praying for you that the peace of God will flow in your hearts so powerfully today. You have inspired an untold number of people everywhere to keep our faith in God even when the storms come to each of our lives. God is good and He has continued to use Hannah’s story for the past year and only He knows how many lives have been impacted. I am one and I am thankful. Can’t wait to see how the Lord will continue to use Hannah’s Hope!
Love, Di Easler

Dear Sobeskis,
I have been praying for you this morning. I have followed your awesome journey since the beginning. I cannot begin to imagine what it has been like for you to share Hannah and her story with all of us. Just know that you have inspired me to be a better person and to develop a better relationship with my heavenly father. Thank you for your testimony of God’s amazing grace. May he meet every need you have today and strengthen you as only he can. My prayers are with you.

I just wanted to let you know what an awesome job Cudd Memorial and Hannah’s Hope did this year at Judgment House! Over 100 commitments…how awesome! Your daily devotionals are so encouraging and uplifting. God has given not only Hannah, but you an awesome testimony. God bless you and the ministry of Hannah’s Hope!

I just wanted to praise Jesus for a testimony of faith, hope, and love ought of the depths of a parent’s love for their daughter, Hannah, and love for God. I came here through Google search engine searching for testimonies of faith talking about God’s faithfulness, and God couldn’t have brought me to a better place than this. Thank you for seeing God’s promises through the physical death of your Hannah! What a day of rejoicing it will be for you to see her all healthy when you go home to our Lord and Savior!!!! God bless you…
November 7th, 2007 at 9:29 am
Dear Debbie —what a blessing you continue to be to so many that you will never even know about until we all get to Heaven—–You are a blessing to me—I look forward to hearing you speak tomorrow night—I am praying for you–I am praying for your entire family—I always will—–
Love,Barbara
November 7th, 2007 at 6:58 am
Deb, i just wanted to thank you so much for coming to our church nov 2 and nov 3 to do our holiday for her at pleasent grove baptist church. i just wanted to let you know that you touched my heart in so many ways. i was one of th 111 people who were saved at our judgement house 2 weeks ago and this past sunday i was baptised. i went to holiday for her on sat nov 3 and at that point in my life i was so scared to get baptised on sunday but after listening to your story about hannah and hearing how much god has helped her and what a great person she is it made me want to be just like her. hannah has been such an inspiration in my life. i also bought the book hannahs hope and a braclet and i am enjoying them both very much.once again thank you
October 30th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Hey Debbie, I just wanted to say that Judgement House was the best experience of my life except for the time i met Hannah at the Hangar. I will always have something to remember her by and its her violin and her passing a day after my birthday.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:41 am
I am just writting to Hannah’s Family and friends to say that I think that it is GREAT that you are all keeping her spirit alive and I know that she is looking down on ALL of you and smiling big.
I went with my church to the Judgment House and it was a real eye opening for me. It made me think about what is really important to me in life. And I hope that one day as I make my way through Heavens Gates of Gold that I will be greeted by Hannah her self. God Bless and take care. Sending ALL of my love and my churches love (Clifton First Baptist). Charesse Marie LaGoo
October 26th, 2007 at 3:03 am
Deb, It was a joy to meet you yesterday at Chapman High. You have allowed God to take your heartache and touch more lives than you could ever imagine. I know He touched mine through your radiant spirit. Thank you for sharing His faithfulness. Even though our situations are different, pain is pain, and God is the same God who helps and heals. Hannah went to Heaven before we knew Steve was sick, and I can well remember him praying for her and for your family. Now he is there with her. God’s ways are not our ways. Thank you again for helping us on our journey.
October 24th, 2007 at 5:11 am
your story is so inspiring. it has really helped me w/ my relationship w/ Jesus Christ! Thank you!
October 22nd, 2007 at 9:52 am
Saturday, October 20, 2007 I visited Cudd Memorial Baptist Church to attend the well known Judgement House. I was greatly moved, not only spirtually but mentally by this “play”. Not even knowing a dent of what Hannah had to go through, she made me a very strong person. Now I have the strongest faith in Jesus Christ ever imagined. Because of Hannah’s death, she has made my relationship with God so much stonger. Thankyou so much! I love all of the Sobeski family!
October 22nd, 2007 at 6:38 am
My new Discipleship group (8th grade girls) and I were blessed last night by Judgement House. There are no words to describe the depth of my emotions, both during and after. My girls and I have a glimpse of Heaven, and it is glorious!! Last night helped us bond as sisters in Christ, moving closer toward the tight-knit group I pray that we will become. The presentation moves me to strive to be stronger in my own walk, to be open to God using me to make a difference. Thank you all so very much for sharing your heart, for making Hannah’s Hope become a reality for so many people. My Bible study today led me to Psalm 30, 11-12, “Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:….O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.”
October 22nd, 2007 at 6:23 am
We took our youth to judgement house last night & to see how God worked in Hannah’s life truly is powerful. I have followed Hannah’s journey from the start. But there was something about seeing it acted out that gave a new look. She was such a bold girl.Then to go & see Uncle Clay to look at his face when they showed Hannah’s interview. You could see the love that he has for her. When I think about your family how strong you all are and how you have used Hannah’s story to change peoples lives to make her prayer come true that one life would be changed. I know that God alone is the one who has made this all possible. She has 4ever changed my life & last night I rededicated my life & roles in the church back to God. How amazing our God is!
October 21st, 2007 at 7:50 pm
You are all amazingly faithful to God but takes much learning to get to the point of having faith beyond understanding but still accepting anything that comes your way. I pray that will be me oneday = = unquestioning faith. Time and education as I’m learning through HHM.
October 15th, 2007 at 6:22 am
What an amazing time my family had last night at Judgement House! Deb, Mickey, Clay & Hope it is so amazing the plan that God had for Hannah. I told my husband it seems like when I am down or things are just hard Hannah and her faith in God continues to lift me up. The play was incrediable! When they called our name for the Lambs Book of Life, the robes in heaven, hearing the welcome home Hannah song in Heaven. Wow! It was a truly amazing play because we serve a truly amazing God. Thank you to each person, volunteer, family member, etc. that helped. It really was such a blessing to our entire family. My Hannah Grace saw the play Wed. with our church and they said before she left she was saying lets do it again, she said it again last night.
October 10th, 2007 at 7:55 am
Hello all! I am blessed this morning just to look through the Current Testament of Faith. I love the Old and the New Testament, and to read it through the lives of people seeking to live it daily is such a blessing. Hannah, we tend to perfect you only because you are now perfect, but as we struggle in our imperfection here to present to the world a testimony of God at work in our lives through His Word, we are so emboldened by the HOPE. Mick and Deb, I love you so much. Friends of HHM, keep the faith!
He Knows Us! Psalm 139
October 9th, 2007 at 11:28 am
He wants us to ask Him, He desires for us to ask Him, He tells us to “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you.For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks the door will be opened.”Matt. 7:7-8 Jesus asked.He asked for the cup to pass from him and then he prayed, “not my will but thine be done.”David begged for the life of his child on this earth in II Sam. 12 Other times in His word, He spared a nation because of the prayers of one man, stopped the sun in its place. . .He is Sovereign God and He knows best. He will ultimately move us in our praying to know Him, and to know that He has answered our prayers. What a blessed time awaits us in heaven!Muchlove
October 8th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Thank you Debbie for trying to help me grasp this journey and the ultimate outcome is not what we wanted but what God’s plan encompassed. It’s rather scarey to finally figure out that it’s not what you pray for that happens but accepting what is in your plan and still having faith no matter what the outcome.
I always pray for specific earthly answers for loved ones and God just wants us to have unquestioning faith I guess but do you ever pray specifics ares always pray for his will be done. The Bible says be specific and yet also tells us it’s his will not ours. It’s so confusing and scarey if you are not there yet I guess. Please stay with me and don’t give up always witnessing with strong, unwavering faith, caring and conviction.
October 8th, 2007 at 9:47 am
Precious Glenda, Our Father’s ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Is. 55:8,9He is seeing everything, every circumstance, every situation from an eternal perspective. He is desiring to use all of these things to draw each one of us close to His heart. Through our praying, God built our faith in Himself, His purpose and His plan to the point where we knew beyond any shadow of doubt that he was hearing our prayers. And He moved us from praying “our will be done” to “THY will be done.”By His grace, He has allowed us to see that He had a greater purpose to accomplish through Hannah’s physical death on this earth and ultimate healing than could have been accomplished through her healing on this earth.And we give thanks
October 8th, 2007 at 9:34 am
Oh Dear Jesus, all of these precious college students that part of my heart is so conncected to, Oh Jesus be with each of them in such a real way. Make the reality of Yourself so real to them. Allow them to “know You” to “pursue You” to be “abandoned to You.” Thank You for using Hannah’s life to touch their lives and thank You for using their lives to bless Hannah’s life and my life. Part of Hannah has gone with every one of them and so has part of me. Hannah wins - I know it isn’t easy - we’ve all been left here to “Carry the Torch.” Her race has been won - she has reached her goal. Oh Dear Jesus, please bless and encourage the hearts of Hannah’s friends - even this day, In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
October 8th, 2007 at 12:01 am
(OKAY, I messed up. I tried to post that NOVEL I just felt compelled to write…and I tried to post it so it would “flow”…Yeah, that didn’t work. SORRY!!)
October 8th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Hello Sobeskis, it’s about 3:30AM on Monday morning. I was fast asleep, but was suddenly awaken out of my tiny dorm room bed–not too sure why. I woke with a heavy heart. I sprung out of bed and came down here to my desk where my laptop sits and turned on my favorite contemporary Christian songs.
I’ve been sitting here singing along to the songs for the past half hour or so…and I just can’t help but think of Hannah. In my dorm room, I am surrounded by TONS of photos of our precious angel.
October 8th, 2007 at 12:00 am
I think to myself so often, “Hannah should be here. She wanted to go to Clemson more than anything.” But it is only then that I am suddenly reminded that SHE’S the lucky one. She’s in heaven RIGHT THIS SECOND, watching over us each day–and that is so comforting to know. I love knowing that I have a guardian angel, and I cannot wait until the day that I can wrap my arms around Hannah and tell her how much she means to me.
College is tough…not just academically—but the peer pressure and temptations available are insane. I’ve made my share of mistakes since I’ve been here at Clemson.
October 7th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
I’m not perfect by ANY means. But it won’t hurt to start trying to be. To be completely honest, I haven’t been going to church every Sunday since I’ve been here. Excuses include sorority stuff, homework, too tired…etc.
Well, this morning I went to Newspring Church in Anderson for the first time in a few weeks and MAN how it completely turned around my day, my week, my MONTH. I’ve been so stressed lately with school and all that I almost forgot the most important thing—the most important One. I had forgotten how much hope I have in Him, and how with Him on my side, absolutely nothing is impossible.
October 7th, 2007 at 11:58 pm
So the current song on my playlist is “How Great is Our God” by Chris Tomlin. How ironic!? (This song was played at church this morning). And how true are the lyrics! SO true…TOO true. How great is our god! Sing with me how great is our God! And all will see how great, how great is our god! Name above all names! Worthy of all praise, My heart will sing how great is our god!
It’s about 3:50AM now, and I have permanent chills on my arms. I feel like God spoke to me and woke me up tonight/this morning. He was saying, “KELLY! WAAAAAKE UP!!! Don’t you see?! You really do need me!! You can’t do it without me. Cast your cares on me and I WILL sustain you!!”
October 7th, 2007 at 11:58 pm
That is so comforting to know. To know that I have God on my side—to know that Hannah is right there beside God…it’s amazing.
So I vow this tonight: Church is my top priority. NO EXCUSES. What would Hannah do!? I guarantee you she’d be singing her heart out during the praise and worship time each Sunday at Newspring (or elsewhere). So I shall too. I make this my solemn promise. I can’t do it without Him. It’s too hard. I can’t do it alone. No one can. Without Him—there is NO hope, there is NO purpose in life.
I should probably get back to sleep. Good night Sobeskis. Thank-you for Hannah. I love you all, dearly.
October 7th, 2007 at 9:06 pm
Do you ever ask yourself why he picked Hannah for this journey. I’ll bet many times or maybe not. I’m struggling with this whole ordeal or how do we pray so much and had the unwavering faith of early healing and pray, pray and have total faith that her prayers will heal her earthly body through God. What actually does happen? Well, impreplexed as to what all thismeans an need to explain. Does someone undestanding what I’m talking about.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:13 pm
Dear Deborah & Hope & Clayton:
I know you are all at JUDGMENT House tonight so I may not talk to you but I will be
praying for all the actors, counselors and visitors. I will also pray that you have a safe trip to D.C. Looking forward to seeing you there. Love, Mom
October 2nd, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Where would I order Hannah’s bracelet? I have the
Book and C/D and thank you.
October 1st, 2007 at 11:43 am
Hannah, you make me want to be a better person. It has been a long time since anything has stirred my soul but reading your story has made me cry and feel so blessed at the same time. Thank you for being so special!!!
September 29th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
I didn’t know Hannah, but her story has truly touched me. I’m reading the “Hannah’s Hope” book now, and wow. What a strong girl she was
I first heard of Hannah through my neighbor (Janice Carter) who was one of Hannah’s nurses in Spartanburg. I’m really sorry about the family’s loss though. 
September 26th, 2007 at 7:08 am
I am so excited to see the new website. I know that Hannah is still down each evening with her journal reading all of her daily entries. May God Bless you all. We will never forget Hannah.
September 25th, 2007 at 6:38 am
I didn’t know who Hannah was, but her story really touched my heart. I wish I could have known her. I bet she was a great person. At least I know that she is in a better place. And that she is having a great time.

Happy 19th Birthday Hannah! We know you are walking the streets of gold celebrating this year - what a way to celebrate with the LORD! I have been blessed by your story of faith as well as your family. You ARE a blessing and a joy. I pray today that I can raise my daughter Julie Elaine (who celebrates along with you her 6th birthday today) that she can be half the woman you grew into and Love the Lord like you do! Thank you for the example you have and will contiue to show.
September 11th, 2007 at 6:07 am
Deb, I read your devotion and I am amazed.
Losing your only daughter did not sour you, …it empowered you.
Looking back on the trials and pain of the past months, you can say along with Joseph, “…you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.”
You poured “manna” into my spirit today….thank you.
August 23rd, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Dear Deb—-thank you for your insights—you so aptly put into to words what I need to hear—You are a blessing to me–
Love, Barbara
August 20th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
I was told about Hannah right after the Caring Bridge site was started. I live in Hamlet, NC. I have a friend in Spartanburg who told me and requested prayer for Hannah and her family. Since my first visit to the site, I have followed Hannah’s journey. So many days I have cried while reading, so many days I have smiled while reading and SO MANY DAYS I have rejoiced in the goodness of our Lord. I have seen such love and faithfulness in all of you. You can never, in a million years know what a blessing you ALL have been in my life. Hannah made me a stronger and better Christian. I look forward to meeting her when I get to Heaven, so I can tell her myself what a difference she made in my life. God bless all of you.
August 18th, 2007 at 9:45 am
I LOVE YOU MRS.DEB.I LOVE HANNAH.

Hey Debbie,
The Farmer’s
I just wanted you to know that the prayer you prayed at the end of your Wednesday evening post was answered!!!! You blessed the heart of my sweet neighbor, Jack Johannes when you prayed with him at Specialty Gifts for his precious wife, Ann. We had another good cry together this evening as he explained what had happened. We love you and thank God for you, your sweet family and this ministry

I love that Solomon wanted wisdom and an understanding heart more than anything–I so want that and I know you do too—How hard these days must be for you and your family—-and yet you continue to show us evidence that Hannah’s story will not stop—oh, I think we would be surprised at the people who have come to know the Lord through all of you—we continue to pray for you daily—-May the rough places get smoother—-
Love, Barbara
August 9th, 2007 at 7:02 am
Hello Deb and Hope,
I wake with this ministry in my prayers and go to bed with it.. Hannahs Hope has reminded me daily to keep the faith.. I will be praying for a speedy recovery for Hope. Also I will keep Mickeys mother in prayers as well.. May God BLESS you and yours..
August 9th, 2007 at 5:13 am
Hi Sobeski Family,
Praises to God for you all. You have become so special to me over the last months. I look forward to the site each day as I check it during my devotion time from work. I am so thankful that everything went well for Hope. All of you amaze me with how you can relate the smallest thing to something so powerful!!!! Thanks for the prayers you offered for my daughter who suffers with migraines. She has improved some over the summer and we are still trying to find further relief for her. Deb, your writings have been so special to this mother’s heart this summer as you have encountered all the “FIRSTS” of things without Hannah in your presence, but you continually remind us that she IS PRESENT WITH HER LORD!
August 8th, 2007 at 10:33 am
Here’s praying for a speedy recovery for you Hope! I will miss your devotionals. Hurry back.
In Christ,
Barbara
August 7th, 2007 at 12:09 pm

Thank You for sharing your heart broken story. May God give you His Peace. Hannahs story is being shared with other young girls in a Bible study that I am blessed to be involved with. May our Lord richly bless you and your family.
August 5th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Hey Sobeski Family!!!

Debbie, Mickey and all,
I was cleaning out my email today and came across the CaringBridge custumer service one that I’ve kept since last summer. It serves as a reminder to pray for you. Actually, I think of you from time to time without the reminder and just wanted you to know that. It’s been a blessing to look at your ministry website. I pray that God blesses all of you in this and that you continue to feel His great comfort. Love to all, Shawn Williams

Dear Hope and Debbie,
I am so thankful for the TRUTH that you share day after day. It’s Jesus who overcomes all of our obstacles and shattered dreams. I am glad that I don’t have to go through this life without Him! And I am happy that you share these truths so faithfully for all of us who need a a daily “lift” and for those who are seeking and searching for our Savior. May the Lord continue to bless Hannah”s Hope Ministries!!!
Still praying in Cowpens,

Mrs. Sobeski,
After reading your latest journal about Sweet Pea, I couldn’t help but to smile!! I’m Ashley from Clayton Tile that helped you and Mickey pick out your tile for your bathroom! From reading your journal, it sound like you guys had an experience! I’m sure it all paid off in the end! Enjoy your bath time!! That moment can be the most relaxing time you experience!! I’m so glad I came to visit this website as well as CaringBridge. You, Mickey, and especially Hannah are such inspirational individuals. Continue to be a leader with your word and devotion. Touching lives is what you guys are amazing at. God Bless You and I’m truly proud to say that I had the priviledge to meet both you and Mickey. You guys are amazing!
With Love

Hope, I look forward to reading your devotion every day you always write the perfect words. Today I am sitting at my desk worrying about my family and wondering why we are having so much sickness in our family this year. Dave will having his defibrillator replaced tomorrow and I am very nervous. Rollins just recovered from anouter bout with Crohn’s. Both our Dogs passed away. I do know that God is with us and has a plan I must trust. Keep writing you really touch my heart.
Love Amy

I was listening to the radio today and thought of Hannah! =] the song by Mercy Me Bring The Rain reminded me of her. I’ll post the lyrics below!
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I’ve gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It’s never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you oh Lord
My only shelter from the storms
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Chorus:
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there’ll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that’s what it takes to praise You
Jesus Bring the Rain
I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what’s a little rain
So I pray
Chorus:
(Repeats)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Hello all-
It has been quite some time since I’ve written. I must tell you- you all are still a daily inspiration to me! I love reading the journal and devotional entries. God has blessed you all with a terrific ministry through the life of Hannah. It was this time last year that I had the privilege of taking care of her at MD Anderson. A beautiful, life changing and inspiring time! You all never cease to amaze me!
Quick prayer request- we need to sell our house in Houston. We are going back to Fort Worth for Christopher to pursue his doctoral studies at Southwestern Sem. We have a house to move to, I have a job, Christopher has had two auditions for positions. All we need is to sell the house! I need more prayer warriors!
Love,
Angela:)

Dear Dear Debbie—If all of us anticipated what the Lord was willing to do through us, what a great revival we would have——You are like a big open door—Jesus just walks right in and uses you as a dwelling place for others to hear about Him through you—–”The Lord my God is my strength , and he wil make my feet like hinds feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high place.
Habakkuk 3:19—-my prayer for you, dear one—

Dear Deb,
As I read your new entry on KY I thought about having the blessing to meet you and to know what a blessing it was for you to know the names of the faces from Ky in the DVD of Hannahs journey. I wear my braclet just about everyday to work. So, when someone ask where did you get that or that braclet is pretty; then I have the opportunity to tell them about hannahs journey and the blessing of how you and I met. Their in awe they dont know what to say. Deb, your doing a wonderful job for the Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with this ministry.
Love,
Jamie

Hi Debbie–Just read your entry and the words to the WV Hills washed over me
and took me back in time. We have been following your summer in the Journal
entries. May God continue to richly bless all of you. You remain in our thoughts
and prayers. Love to all, Coach and Joann
July 6th, 2007 at 8:13 pm
To Deb and Hope, Please continue this ministry for as long as you can and never think of quitting. You are gifted to spread God’s word as Hannah was which is why her leaving is so difficult to understand for me. I feel his word in your readings more so than reading my bible. Maybe it was because of us being at the hospital as strangers but hearing Hannah’s story through Kay and praying with her for our loved one. A stranger touched me forever with Hannah’s struggle and faith all at the same time. Reading with you two takes the place of my bible reading sometimes. God will understand that I understand better hearing his word through you. Like everyelse this ministry is the most inspiring story I have ever followed - extraordinary isn’t enoug
July 6th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
He is already ansering your prayer to be a blessing in someone’s life—You are blessing so many “someones”—Thank you—-and we will continue to pray–
Love, Barbara

Deb,
I got a chance today to watch all of the Celebration of Life dvd you gave me at Tugglesvile VBS. It was a blessing. As each one spoke on the dvd, Hannah’s faith was truly tested and she stood steadfast in her faith in Jesus Christ. How wonderful to know that we do have a Saviour we can trust in all situations life has to throw at us. Her testimony reminded me of Peter walking on the water to Jesus. The only difference is she kept her eyes on the Lord and didn’t let those storms and waves take her mind off the Master. It’s our prayer that God will continue to strenghten you and your family and continue to bless this wonderful ministry.
July 5th, 2007 at 11:00 am
Dear Hope,
Thank you for reminding me to praise the Lord no matter what the circumstances. Sometimes we have so many things going on or a situation that feels like its over taking our lives and we forget everything that the Lord has already blessed us with.. Thank you..
This ministry will always be in my prayers.
God Bless,
Jamie

Deb,
Tonight in our church we had a special singing where Eighth Day came and sang. That is where I first heard Hannah’s story. Her story really touched my heart, as well as many others in my church. They also sang Hannah’s song, which was beautiful. My sister and I bought the CD and we listened to it all the way home. Hannah was young but had so much love and passion for Christ and sharing his word with people, which she was a hero for. I hope more and more people hear her story and it really touches their heart the way it did mine. Amazing things can happen if you just believe! Thank you for sharing her story.
God Bless,
Kayla

Dear Debbie–How great to see you and Mickey in church this a.m.—My heart is always so full when I think about, pray for, or read a journal entry from you—I was just talking to my sister, who doesn’t even know you but like I, she loves you and prays for your family—I don’t think you can imagine the people that youMuchcontinue to touch—Isn’t it great that because we are all a part of God’s great family that we can know and love each other even if we’ve never met—-never doubt that you and Mickey and Hope and all of your family are being so obedient and as I have said before—thank you for letting us be such an intimate part of this terrible and precious and blessed journey of yours—May God’s tender mercies be yours–Love, Barbara

Deb,
OK this is my last post for today. After my previous posts I went to the
www.Itellthestory.com website, and I read a story from Meghann Bennett.
She shared, “Since I grew up in church I hardly ever gave my “Christian life” any thought. I just went to church on Sundays when my grandpa would wake me up. I knew that Jesus died for me… I just didn’t believe it. I fell into all kinds of peer pressure…
It was FCA day. Micky Sobeski (Hannah Sobeskis’ father) invited me into FCA. A friend of mine and I decided to go. A few weeks later we were on a bus going to Garden City for the FCA conference. And on March 27, 2004 I became a believer.”
Look what God can do with just a simple “invite.”
Quoted @ www.ItelltheStory.com
June 25th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Deb and Hope,
In my above post, I added your names in as being invited too, since you two are the authors and not just readers. Also, EVERYONE is invited to the website. If you are not a Christian, read “His Story.” www.itellthestory.com
Seeking Him,
Dee Dee : )
June 25th, 2007 at 8:11 am
Deb and Hope,
I still visit this website daily and read your postings. God is still at work all around you. Deb, I noticed someone mentioned, “90 minutes in Heaven”. When God directs you to read that book please post what you think. I pray that you will only read it in His perfect timing. : )
My church has a new webstie where Christians can share their story with others. I would like to invite all of the Christian readers (Deb and Hope you are invited too)to visit and share your story. This is such an easy opportunity to share your Faith and HOPE. : ) www.itellthestory.com
June 25th, 2007 at 6:13 am
Oh-if we only knew from the beginning that we weren'’t in control—really wouldnt’ want to be—would really make a mess of things—but this Type A personality that I am sure tried—I am so glad that the Lord is the Captain of my boat now—and I can tell you are too—Isn’t it a comforting place to be–always after Him!
We continue to pray and lift your family up and thank God for you all!
Love, Barbara

Still reading and enjoying your wonderful entries. Hope, I loved the one today about callling God. When you think about waiting to hear from your children, it really brings the importance of prayer to a level we can feel.
In Christ,

Just finished your book. This was almost like being there for this journey with Hannah. She must have been an angel [ I’m sure she is an angel now]. You have helped so many understand just what a wonderful Great GOD we serve. We pray for your outreach of this ministry. Thank you so
