My heart is heavy tonight. I am not sure how many of you are familiar with the Maxwells. They are a homeschooling family and run the Titus2 website. They produce "Managers of their Homes" and "Managers of Their Chores" along with several other books and resources. We went to hear them a few months ago and were so blessed by their ministry. They traveled with their seven children still at home and their children were very involved with various aspects of the evenings. What struck me the most was the smiles on all the children's faces, all night. They were truly happy and joyful to be ministering with their parents.
The Maxwell's oldest son, Nathan, and his wife, Melanie have been married for several years and had finally become pregnant. They were all so excited about the new baby, even though they knew there would be complications. Susannah Joy Maxwell was born a few weeks ago, and died four days later. She was never awake, never opened her eyes, never made a sound.
The testimony of this family is incredible. I urge you to read the blog and view the pictures. Yes, they are hurting deeply, but they are placing their trust in the Father's will. They miss their sweet baby, but they know God is faithful and will comfort them. What a testimony.
