No Words

We found out today that Heather Miller received her angel wings last night, at home in the arms of her parents.  God speed Heather.  You have touched so many with your amazing strength, courage, and spirit. 

We first learned about this amazing young girl last September.  She had a tremendous love for football and her beloved Pittsburgh Steelers who went out of their way to make her part of their team.

Here is some background to her story from a post last September.

It is heartbreaking to see another child lost.  My heart aches for her parents, family, and friends.  Lord, this is so hard to see and understand when a child must suffer and parents must say goodbye.  I keep thinking of David Crowder's, All That I Can Say...
Lord I'm tired
So tired from walking
And Lord I'm so alone
And Lord the dark
Is creeping in
Creeping up
To swallow me
I think I'll stop
Rest here a while

And didn't You see me cry'n?
And didn't You hear me call Your name?
Wasn't it You I gave my heart to?
I wish You'd remember
Where you sat it down

Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give

I didn't notice You were standing here
I didn't know that
That was You holding me
I didn't notice You were cry'n too
I didn't know that
That was You washing my feet.
 
When we don't know what or how to pray, God is there.
When we've given all we have and it feels like nothing, 
God is there.  
When we've given absolutely everything (a child) 
and feel completely empty, God is there, too.

Oh Amber, I will be praying for this family--that God's peace would completely overwhelm them through this unconceivable time of grief.
