I met Edie in 2008 through blogging. We quickly realized we shared a lot in common namely, our love of the Vikings (more specifically all things Favre), good books, home schooling, song lyrics and now C.S. Lewis. I love her like a sister and have benefited greatly from our friendship. We've often referred to ourselves as 'twins' in many things only she got the looks and the brains!
Edie is an amazing woman of strong faith, deep love and great compassion for others. Please keep her sweet family in your prayers as they trudge through the difficult days ahead.
I came across a scripture and a quote that instantly made me think of her. I know as always she will 'soar like an eagle' and make it through this 'without stain'.
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
"God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain."
-C.S. Lewis
