As Katie said this morning "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Please pray for strength for Katie and Mitch this morning. She delivered her little baby boy Brody at 1:30am this morning, 1 pound 3 oz, and he did not survive. I can't even begin to imagine the pain they are both in. She has been fighting for Brody and was 23 weeks along in her pregnancy. She had one more week to go until they thought Brody would be able to survive outside of Katie. God had other plans and although it is so hard to even think of what they might be we stand firm in knowing that God is in charge. My mom and I were talking last night as we were all up praying for Brody to have strength through delivery. She had such a great way to look at this situation. The name Brody means builder. For the short time we have known Brody he has brought so much to the Williams family. This builder of a boy brought an already amazing family so extremely close together. Mitch, Katie's husband was a Rock. He was in charge of taking care of the three other children, not missing school, games, practice or even birthday parties. He just took care of whatever it was needing to be done. Through Brody, Katie was able to see the strength of her husband and the amount of love he had. She was revealed the heart of her children. She saw their concern, the gentleness and love. Max, Parker and Mallory are little lovers and let Katie know that through this experience. Her brothers and sisters have dropped everything to help and have all hands on deck to help whatever she needed. The outpouring of love and prayers from her friends is amazing. Just to look at her facebook page and see all the well wishers, dinners that have been made, packages sent. If anything Katie has to know that she is surrounding by people who love her. I can't begin to imagine how painful this healing process will be. She is a wonderful Christian who seeks the Lord for comfort. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Sarah, I am so sorry to hear that. I can not even begin to imagine what she is going through. As long as she stays close to God, she can get through all things. Katie and her family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Katie, Brody and family are in our thoughts and prayers. Now, Lucy and all the babies will have an angel watching over them.
