More Than Beyond Measure

" I know that I've been given more than beyond measure, I come alive when, I see beyond my fears I know that I've been given more than earthly treasure, I come alive when I've broken down and given you control....Everything that I've have has been given so unselfishly and shown that even when I don't deserve you always show the fullness of your love."

Jeremy Camp, Beyond Measure

I don't know that I can express in words the gratitude I feel at this moment. Our Amelia had surgery yesterday, and though it wasn't as invasive as some other children, it was nevertheless scary. She came through it with flying colors; she is one tough little girl. I know that she was covered in prayer and that God had her. I left that hospital (The Children's Hospital) so grateful. Grateful that we have the means to get the best medical care in the country for my daughter, grateful that I was taking my healthy baby home, when so many other parents were not, grateful that I have people in my life that love me, my family and my daughter so much that they would take time out of their days and off of work to be there to support us and love us. Grateful that there were hundreds of prayers lifted to God on her behalf. Jason and I love you all and are so appreciative of your roles in our lives. Praise be to God, the ultimate physician, for bringing our girl through a tough time, and allowing her to heal. I hope you can reflect on your own lives today...and be grateful. We have all been given more than beyond measure.

With love & gratitude,
The Garrett Family

PS. Isn't her cast cute!? :)
