Triumphing in the Midst of Pain

For all of you who have been praying for the Crow family, I pass this on to you. Be encouraged and challenged. This family is amazing to me. They have truly had to fight the good fight on more levels than most of us have ever experienced. Be blessed by the words of a mother who has just lost her child.

And if you did not know, Zayden Crow went to be with the Lord after his family decided it would be best to remove him from live support.

Tanya's words:

Hello everybody,
I was really struggling with sending an e-mail (it would be impossible to talk to so many any other way), but the Lord firmly spoke to me about not letting the enemy have any ground that the Lord has shed his blood for, victory is ours. I know that we are to share the victory of Jesus Christ(Jeremiah and I, with what we have just walked through, but I feel that it is important for all of River City to share that as well, and to know just what that victory is, and that it is for all of us to share as a body, you have all been so faithfull to press into what God has for us) we have walked through soo much, trusting that God is in control, that he has always known what is best for us all, and about facing death, I have not had a family member die, not one of my own. In just days Jesus has walked me through fear of death and dying and an understanding of just what death really is. I realize that there is more fear in letting go and trusting God than there really is of death. I have come to a place in my heart that wasn't there before now, our prize is to be with our King, why should we mourn such a pleasure. Isn't that why we believe? God has been soo faithfull with his love and mercy to our family. Thank you al for being so faithfull to lift us up.
We were all praying that God would heal Zayden's body and trust me nobody wanted that more than I did. In 13 days of my beautiful sons life, God healed soo much more than just Zayden,( his healing is to live in eternity with the Savior, our reward is to praise God for the healing that has taken place in a family that has been broken for 5 years.) When Jeremiah and I split up, his parents, his sisters, his nana, aunt Linda, and his uncle Gus all pretended that I did't exist any more, they stopped treating me like family. We have not shared a holiday, or a birthday since 9-11.
I have asked God when the time would come and how would the healing take place. They all have been here, even Gus. The night that Zayden died was the firts time that Gus had been here, and he stayed so that we would know that he loved us. Every relationship that was broken has been restored, EVERY RELATIONSHIP. What the enemy meant for bad, God meant for good. I know that there is soo much more, that we don't see yet, or that is even yet to come. We want the rewards that we will recieve from trusting God, soo we are going to choose to walk it out in faith knowing that we are loved by the Creator.
We will be home Wednesday sometime, we will want some time to get used to being home, we have been gone for almost a month. We would really love prayer for our boys, Tevan is having a hard time. I'm not sure about Isaac but please pray anyways. We are soo thankfull for all of our family at River City thank you for walking this out with us. We have never felt alone. You all are soo faithfull. We love you and will see you all soon.
Faithfully being held by the Father, Tanya and Jeremiah
