Ethan Powell

I've been following the story of Ethan Powell since last February. Ethan was diagnosed with leukemia at 2 months old and battled this horrible disease for just over a year. Ethan sadly lost this battle around noon today. I'm not sure why I feel so close to this family and their story when I've never met them. Please keep them in your prayers for comfort during this time. You can check out his website if you're interested, it's listed on the right hand side of our blog.

And God Said
I said, "God, I hurt." And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed." And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard." And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my son died." And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss." And God said, "I saw my son nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your son lives." And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?" And God said, "Mine is on My right and Yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts." And God said, "I know."

This is so sad. I remember you sharing all the updates about Ethan and I remember reading his journals and blogs. I am so sad for that family. He is without pain now and can enjoy himself in heaven. God bless Ethan!
