Last night when Zach got home from church, he told us that Mark Hall had just received sad, sad news about the tragic death of the youngest daughter of Steven Curtis Chapman.(The last sentence is a live link to the newspaper...for some reason blogger is not showing my links in different colors!)
Maria Sue Chapman (2003-2008)
I am almost always very content that I do not have a daughter but every since the lyrics of this song, written and sung by Steven Curtis Chapman came out, I think what a great daddy David would have been to a little girl too.
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something
The prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon
The clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
If you'd like to express your condolences to the Chapmans, you may do so here. ("Here" is also another live link to a sweet page about Maria with some video clips).
Maria Sue Chapman (2003-2008)
Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed Wednesday night in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.
Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again. - Jim Houser (Manager)
