With arms raised high - we praise God for his gifts, his blessings, his grace, his strength, and mercy that is renewed each and every day.
We have been blessed by one of his most precious gifts, Olly Belle, in so many ways- her sweet spirit, her infectious giggles, her impressive eye rolls, and amazing snuggles. She truly has taught all of us so much about life, love, peace, hope, patience, strength, and surrender.
Tomorrow we enter comfort care (hospice) and are taking her home to be with family during her final days. She is in organ failure and has days left before her big welcome home celebration in heaven.
In the meantime, we celebrate big sister Mara’s 6th birthday tomorrow here on earth- filled with love, pizza, cupcakes, and all the things 6 year olds love.
We ask that you pray for Olly’s comfort in the coming days, peace for her and our close family and friends, and that her welcome home celebration in heaven is like no other- filled with dancing, laughter, giant hugs from her heavenly family waiting for her, all together singing and praising our Heavenly Father.
We appreciate your love, prayers, encouraging words, and support during this time.
All our love- Nate, Lora, Mara, and Olly Chapman.
“Every tear will be wiped away
Every sorrow and sin erased
We'll dance on seas of amazing grace
In Heaven
In Heaven
I'm goin' home
Where the streets are golden
Every chain is broken
Oh I wanna go
Oh I wanna go
Home
Where every fear is gone
I'm in your open arms
Where I belong”
