I know that there is a lot of tragedy that happens every moment of every day in the world.  I am so thankful that God is aware of and feels the pain of every tear that falls.  Today, I am mourning with the family of Steven Curtis Chapman.  One of the little girls that the Chapman family adopted from China died in an accident at their home.  See the story here.

I just recently spent a week in China and while I was there I thought of the Chapman family and of the three little girls that they adopted from China.  I don’t personally know the Chapmans, but I do know of their wonderful adoption ministry through Shaohannah’s HOPE and I have been greatly blessed and inspired by Steven Curtis Chapman’s music over the years. 

I have two daughters.  I have spent many a Saturday and Sunday morning holding my little girls in my arms and dancing with them around the living room to the music of Steven Curtis Chapman.  Today, I am praying for and mourning with the Chapman family.
