Morrison6 Website

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

I’ve had quite a few people asking about the Morrison6 website…wondering what happened to it. I remember Ryan saying a while back that he intended to end the website and maybe start a different one. I don’t know if that’s what happened or of the website is just down at the moment. What I do know is Ryan and Brianna are moving forward and excited to be bringing Sylas home soon. That’s what they focusing on right now.

Sorry for your confusion/disappointment. I don’t if they’ll do anymore updates or pictures. It’s completely up to them.

Your prayers mean so much to them. Thank you for keeping them in your heart!

What makes us love total strangers?

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

The Morrison’s story came out in March of this year and captivated people hearts. I can’t believe that people all over the country still check the internet every day looking for updates, pictures or any kind of detail about this baby. The amount of comments on the latest blog prove that you do! If I’m being honest, I know that if I wasn’t personally involved I wouldn’t still be following the story but, that it not the case for some of you! WOW…I’m amazed. This is clearly an incredible display of kindness and genuine concern. What makes people love total strangers? To allow your heart to captured by a story, by a family, or by a miracle?…is that it? Are you struck by the obvious miracle that has unfolded? I know I am. My faith has been challenge and grown through this year. My friendships are stronger and I’m glad for that. I’ve asked hard questions and have made peace with the fact I won’t understand the Lord and His ways…but He is good!

Anyways, all that to say thank you. And I hope that the next time I see someone in need I show as much kindness as strangers have shown the Morrisons. It’s a beautiful thing.

Please keep praying for Sylas.

This baby is a miracle…

Friday, September 14th, 2007

I hadn’t been to the hospital in…way too long! The first time I saw Sylas in a crib, I instantly started crying. I knew I was witnessing a miracle. This little guy is fighter and I love him for it! He’s just over 3 months and he’s already defied incredible odds. He is beautiful and chunky! More than that, he is a symbol of hope and life. It’s hard not to love him instantly…it was even harder that the visit had to come to an end.

Introducing Sylas Christopher and his beautiful mom, Brianna!

Sylas Christopher Morrison!

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray and ask about Sylas Morrison!

Just a little quick update on Sylas. He is growing strong and doing very well! I know many people want to know his progress but there isn’t much to share. I can tell you he is thriving under the care of many wonderful doctors and nurses at Children’s hospital! He continues to amaze his parents…they are so proud of him! They’re hoping he’ll come home sooner then later but we’ll have to wait and see! Brianna and I keep exchanging small miracles happening in our lives and we know how blessed we are!

Thank you for your concern and prayers.

Memorial for the Morrison Babies

Friday, August 10th, 2007

August 10th, 2007…two months exactly from when the Morrison6 were born. This was a day that I’ve been dreading but at the same time relieved that it’s come and gone! We had a memorial service at Bethany Church for Lucia Rae, Bennet Ryan, Tryg Brenton, Lincoln Sean, Cadence Alana and the Morrison family. It was precious and heartbreaking.

I can’t believe it’s already been 2 months! It’s weird how it’s seems like forever ago and just yesterday.

These five babies captured my heart from the moment I knew they were growing in Brianna’s belly. I prayed for them all the time. It was like I had been given the opportunity to witness a miracle in slow motion…does that make sense? I was seeing the wonder of the babies growing, her belly stretching, and her heart preparing for all them.

After they were born…I fell in love. So tiny and yet, fully alive. I felt like I was looking into the face of a miracle (or 6)!

The songs the Morrison’s chose for the memorial really sums it up with all the words I would want to write:

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say…
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say…
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name

And the old hymn, “It is well!” I was looking for the hymn and found the story behind the song…amazing.

This hymn was writ­ten af­ter two ma­jor trau­mas in Spaf­ford’s life. The first was the great Chi­ca­go Fire of Oc­to­ber 1871, which ru­ined him fi­nan­cial­ly (he had been a weal­thy bus­i­ness­man). Short­ly af­ter, while cross­ing the At­lan­tic, all four of Spaf­ford’s daugh­ters died in a col­li­sion with an­o­ther ship. Spaf­ford’s wife Anna sur­vived and sent him the now fa­mous tel­e­gram, “Saved alone.” Sev­er­al weeks lat­er, as Spaf­ford’s own ship passed near the spot where his daugh­ters died, the Ho­ly Spir­it in­spired these words. They speak to the eter­nal hope that all be­liev­ers have, no mat­ter what pain and grief be­fall them on earth.


When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Refrain

But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!

Refrain

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It’s been a hard 2 months and I know the road ahead will have many bumps. But I smile when I think about pouring tons of love on Sylas Christopher…he will never lack for kisses and hugs!

Please continue to pray for this precious family!
