Update to: From Dad

Jan. 22, 2009
As you read my new blog you will see that there are no Posts since jan. 14 the day of the accident however you can go to www.kristinasstatus.blogspot.com and get the information in between then and now.

I really began this blog because, first, I want to have some dialogue for Kris to read when she is able to; second, I feel that this will help me with my emotions and thoughts and third; I know that God has a plan and purpose for this accident (as we call it) and that there are literally thousands of thoughts and actions that ONLY GOD can do through this accident. Even at this point I have seen His hand in this and how it has touched thousands of people - family, friends, churches, co-workers - and ONLY GOD knows who else He will touch. With some of the things He's shared with me, I want to pass on to others because I know that there are many who have walked away from Him, who are going through the same thing, who have gotten angry with God, don't know what He's doing and who knows what else; and in some way, this may be the method that He wants to use to bring them back to Him, to give Him the Glory.

Along with all that, I know there are many who have contributed in some way to the family during this time and I want to share some of those that I see and deeply appreciate.

There are many scriptural and spiritual lessons that He has already given to me and my wife and family that I feel need to be passed on as well.

For now, thank you all for your prayers and support for Krissy and her family and friends.

Dad (Dennis)

  1. Well, clearly I am not your aunt, but I don't know how to change it, so...

    It breaks my heart to be so far away from you guys. I am glad you can write your thoughts down; that will be good.

    Much love and many, many prayers. Though separated by the miles, our hearts are with yours.

  2. Uncle Dennis, I wish that I could be there to just give you a hug and let you know that I love you! I am praying for Krissy and for the family as well. I don't feel like I can pray enough. I agree with what you said about how this might be the way that God is using to bring people back to Him. It is such a hard way to look at it, though, because God's ways do not always co-inside with our ways/wants. My friend told me that praying for God's will is one of the hardest things to do, especially in situations like this.
    I had mentioned the accident to a friend of mine from work, and asked that she pray. Most of the time when you ask people to pray they say yes and then forget about whatever it was. Everyday that I've worked with her since then, that is the first thing that she asks: how is your cousin doing?
    Krissy is touching so many lives! Even of people that she hasn't met. So many of my friends are praying for a girl that they don't even know. I think that this had made people pray, who might not normally be a praying person and strengthened the prayers of those who are. I just wanted to let you know that there are a lot of people coming before the Throne of God on Krissy's behalf.
    I love you, Uncle!!

  3. Dennis, My Great Brother!
    I love you so much! I hurt for you and wish I could be there! You have a lot to bear, BUT, God is here to lighten the load. We love each of you so much and are praying for each moment to be covered with the Almighty Hand of God. We don't know what the morrow may bring but we know Who holds tomorrow and everyone in it! God is so big and He is so many things! Where would one begin... I am asking Him to reach down and hug you for me and hold Krissy close! I am so thankful that we have His presence, comfort, wisdom, healing, and Power! You are all in our prayers, nationwide! May God bless and keep you, I LOVE YOU! Your Sis
