Another post :)

There's not much change at the moment. Aaron and I slept for a few hours this afternoon. It's been a long day. Thank you so much for your overwhelming love and encouragement. I've cried a few times reading posts. We're going to go get some supper. I'll try to post again later this evening. We keep praying as well - we know the Lord is good no matter what happens. Thanks for loving our baby girl and praying with us.

Indeed, God is good all the time!
You are precious children in His sight - so precious He just can't keep His eyes off of you three. May He reach down and strengthen that special heart.
You are all loved deeply by many, including some of us who have never met you, myself included.

Hey Heather - I've cried a few times today too! I have let some of our UWOshkosh students from Myrtle project a couple summers ago know and they are praying - I also have some of my personal friends praying.
God's love is pouring out through all these prayers ... it is truly amazing how God provides the body of Christ.
Love you ~ Jen Duey

Aaron & Heather :I like to view Holly's pictures of Payton when I pray for her.(www.hollypetersphotography.com/payton) The words of the song are so special as a parent. Standing with many others praying for you & your family.

Aaron and Heather,

Wehave not and will not stop praying for you. There are many of our church family that are praying for the three of you. We trust in the God of miracles. Keep looking up and know you are loved.

We are still here praying! We have been so excited watching God prepare you for your ministry over the past few years. (Heather, your unique handmade cards were a first - I had never seen anything like them.) Little did any of us know one of the ways you would be called to minister to others. God will continue to reach people thru little Payton and her mom and dad as you all walk through this together. We were sad to watch you go but are very excited to share you with all these people who are benefitting from how you are ministering to them and beyond. Each moment matters! Love much, Pastor Eric & Caren Hoehn, Hope Free - Roscoe, IL

Praise the Lord! Tears are streaming down my face as I read your posts. The same thing when you three were in church this summer. You are all in my prayers. I'm just so thankful that Payton has been blessed with a new heart. I pray the Lord will carry you all thru her recovery. Your posts have been so encouraging to others and I feel blessed by your courage and faith.
With Love in Christ, Stacey

I found you via someone through your church on OD. I thought I'd check out the BEAUTIFUL pictures of your baby girl. You guys are so strong, and I pray with all my heart that God takes this into his hands and heals her so she can continue to grace you and others with her presence.

Heather, we here at Weatherly Assembly in Huntsville Al. are praying for Payton and have been since Lisa Wiliams Mai made us aware of the need. We just prayed for her at Choir practice and will continue to stand with you in prayer believing for a complete healing of your precious little gift.

Heather and Aaron,
Just want to let you know how much you are covered in prayer. Last night my sister was up almost all night as God just kept laying it on her heart to pray for you. You are not in this alone. Everett prays often for little Payton as well.
Love and hugs,
Susie and the Brun gang

God is ever faithful. He knows the plans He has specifically for you! We are praying that the Lord will cover you with His peace and with His comfort and that you will feel His very real presence during these long days. Jo and Peter

Aaron and Heather,
I just wanted to send my love to you and your parents. I am so sorry I wasn't able to join you today in celebrating Payton's life and her being held in the arms of He who created us! (We have the chicken pox at our house).
It has been so very wonderful to get to know you and your amazing parents! Please know that my prayers for you will continue. Payton was such a beautiful little baby, I know you said it best in coining her "Sweet Girl", Heather.
I know I will never forget any of you and the incredible hope, faith and love you taught us all!
God's very deepest blessings,
