It has been a tough day for anyone involved with the Little April Rose Blog. My heart still goes out to this family (and close friends of the family) in dealing with this incredibly difficult situation. I was just made aware that our ad has been removed, and I have great respect that they obliged our request. I hope they, as well as everyone else, understands our need to step away from the situation for the time being. I will continue to pray for both April and B regardless of opinions and truths. I feel they both need my prayers and I don't think a single prayer goes wasted when sent with sincere intentions.
I will say that I was a little taken off-guard by the emails that I received today, but overall, I am touched by the support. This is not our situation, and we should in no way be the focus of attention. If this is all honest and true, there is someone much more in need at this moment. From this point forward, I will not be commenting or responding regarding the situation. It is not about me. I will, whether you agree or disagree, continue to pray for this family. I realized that either way it went, I was not going to make everyone happy, so I have to follow my heart and do what I feel is the right thing. I live my life and run my company by the Golden Rule, and this is what I would want if the situation were reversed. I do not know if this blog is honest and I can not answer that for you, but it is not my place to decide.
Just wanted to tell you that I think what you did was not only appropriate but in a christian manner. You never accused, never were disrespectful - God does not expect us to blindly give no matter what is going on on the other end. Your heart was in the right place - anyone can see that.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how difficult this situation must be. I do believe you are doing the right thing.

I applaud your wise words and wise business decisions regarding the April Rose blog and what all. Thank you for taking the high road and reminding us what we should do as we wait to see what else plays out in this story. I am praying for "B", whoever she is, in whatever situation she is. God knows and is in control.
