In Loving Memory

I am a huge Steven Curtis Chapman fan. I have loved him since the eighties when he had a mullet. His infamous song "I Will Be There" was sung at my wedding sixteen years ago. I rock out often to his song "Dive" on my CD player in my car. I love his music from old to new.

Last weekend his youngest daughter was killed by a car in their front driveway. His youngest three children were adopted from China. The Chapman's have been huge supporters of adoption, specifically, making resources available to families to ease the cost of adoption.

I heard this news from my husband while standing in line to check bags in Miami's airport, and my heart just jumped and sunk.

My most heartfelt prayers and condolences to the Chapman family.

Here are a couple of videos in memory of Maria Sue Chapman 2003-2008. She has journeyed from her earthly father's arms to her heavenly father's. May God heal the family and friends left here to miss her.

I have uttered prayers for their family as I cannot imagine the pain! What a tragedy! But at least they can find some comfort in knowing they'll see their sweet girl again.

In Christ,
