As I previously posted, I felt so blessed after hearing you speak at WOF in Columbus. But WOW! I just read your book, Choosing to SEE, in one day while traveling from Louisiana to Ohio (I could hardly put it down when we stopped at the rest areas! lol) and all I can say is you are AMAZING! Your faith is extraordinary!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting the world hear your insight. You are helping people who are hurting, especially those grieving their children who went to Heaven too early. I hate that you had to endure such a tragedy to gain the knowledge you have now, but I think God knew what he was doing by using you and your incredible family members as His witnesses - you are all amazing brothers and sisters in Christ. I keep praying that God will wrap The Chapman Family in peace. Blessings to all of you.

Mary Beth,

Thank you for being so willing to share your experience. Though I have nothing to compare to, you still touched my heart.
Is it possible to post a list of the songs Steven sang in Columbus May 1, 2010? Thanks for any help you can give. May God comfort you as you remember Marie.

Mary Beth,

This was my first WOF and I am so glad you spoke. They had told us that each attendee would be touched by at least one thing shared and I have to say, it was your message for me. I had followed your blog so I knew how nervous you were and I was so touched with your obedience to God. I don't usually post or write but I just felt I had to add to the comments that you did a great job! You are an amazing woman. One who has overcome so much and continues to everyday.

We also have two wonderful daughters from China. Last week we attended a memorial service for a lovely little girl who died, not from an accident but an incurable medical condition. It was so sad to attend but her parents were strong in their belief that she was with God and I think that gave them a little comfort. I know your story helped me at WOF. Maybe your Maria helped her meet Jesus as well.

God Bless You!

This was my 5th year at WOF. I wanted to thank you for having the courage to tell your story. We were/are all there in prayer for you as you relive these tragic moments. The faith you have, is remarkable, and such a gift to us all. Thanks for the laughs, tears, and encouraging words last night.

I have been praying a special prayer for your family since that day... I know Maria was looking over you tell God, that's my mommy, look how strong she is.

Thank you again for your words and sharing your husband with us. Stay strong and know our Lord has your back.

Mary Beth, I have been coming to WOF now for about 5 years and I know how hard that was for you and I just want you to know that we in Ohio appreciate you sharing your story with us first. You know you can always go home right... Steven is wonderful as you are and you two together are beyond words... Your journey has just begun and look forward to seeing you next year. Good luck and keep the Faith as I know you will. I also have battled with depression and we all know that in itself is a battle and also want you to know I also prayed for you in 2008 as soon as I heard the news and will continue to pray for you and your Family. Thank you for being so brave and courageous... Maria would be proud!
Good luck on your journey my friend... From one Mom to another

Both you and Steven are an encouragement to me.

Thanks again for sharing your hearts.

Mary Beth,
I have been thinking about your story and the love that you both show to each other with such transparency! Love your sense of humor...totally get the importance of "tp (ing)" in a child's life!!! :)You are going to have to initiate Steven! Thank you for stepping out in faith to give us hope and to show us that its a process. I thank God for you both!

[Krista Remias]

You blessed me beyond measure. To see how God's grace and mercy abounds reminds me of how God has carried me through the storms of life and how I have grown in love and knowledge of Him. Specifically, when you said that you would take your daughter back in place of all of the witness your trial has been to us... Amen, sister. My arms ache for my husband, and yet one day his faith and mine will be sight... I love you and your family as though you are my own.

Mary Beth,
Words cannot express how much your presentation about your darling Maria at WOF Columbus affected me! I pray that you and your family will find peace until you see her again. I wanted to tell you that when you showed both sides of Maria's flower drawing, I saw it as a butterfly (the ink from the petal that bled on the back of the page made the body of the butterfly). It made me think that Maria could be telling you "See Butterfly" to mean that butterflies are a symbol that she is safe in Heaven.
Good Bless you and your family!!

Thank you for being God's loving arms and comforting voice today at the WoF conference! You touched the women in by family today as you spoke so honestly about your lose. You were God's voice reminding us that in our lose there is hope in Him. We have at times allowed the darkness to swallow us.

WE are sooooooo glad you came and steped out in faith and obedience. We love your sense of humor and your ability to remind us that we are all human. We all have pain and joys, and through them all God is still GOD!!!! He loves us and holds us even when our circumstances make no sense.

You will do a get job! I have a silly question if you are able to answer. Do you know if there are any discount or give away for the Cinderella on May 14th. Both of our girls are adopted and would love to take our oldest one. Just thought I would ask. Thank you so much and know we pray for you and your family regularly!

[Southern Gal]

I know you'll do fantastic.

Smooth face on SCC!
