The words below were written by a mother who lost her sweet daughter to cancer. I never had a true “heart knowledge” of what she is saying until our family’s journey with Tucker’s heart began. That journey unlocked another dimension to life; one that has included pain, but it is, above all, a deeper, richer trust in the character of God. Her words are profound:
“I've found that in great suffering you learn whether or not your beliefs have base. Whether the words you spout to another who has hurt will ring true in your ears when you are in pain or whether you will find that your tongue only speaks pretty jibberish and your heart is numb. I have found that the words I have read and the beliefs that I have imagined myself to be trusting on are as solid as the rocks I walk across.
The Word of God is neither frivolous nor meandering and it is the very faith that I have in each vowel and consonant that God has put forth that has kept this walking wounded mother from despair. Only this trust. Only this. Only.” - S. Needham
