I was so privileged to get to keep Bryce this past week and he was doing wonderful! And to all the concerned moms---Scott is doing WONDERFUL with him!!! They are hanging tight together and it's wonderful to see them smile at each other! As a mother of three with a little parenting experience---I think Scott is going to make one awesome dad!!! (although I must admit I had some doubts the day Bryce was born---Scott had sworn off all poop) Needless to say, he's changing some serious "stuff" with these formula diapers!!! :) Bryce "talked" and laughed with us as he played on the pallet. He's carrying on with his little life and adapting much better than most adults as children often do!!! May we continue to pray for him and his daddy!

Thank you for being there for Scott and Bryce. I cannot imagine what they are going through. I cannot tell you how this blog is helping me deal with Jill's death. Sometimes you just want to forget and move on, but God keeps pulling me back to this blog. He wants me to realize how precious life is, and that He can call you at anytime so you must be ready. It doesn't matter if you are a preacher's wife or a brand new mommy...you go when He is ready. I am struggling to deal with this as a brand new mommy myself. I loved Jill. She was such a true friend to me in college. We were trideltas and she always reminded me to be a Christian first, an aggie second, and a tridelt last :) She was precious. We had just reconnected. I did not have a chance to tell her how wonderful I thought she was, and how much I appreciated her friendship and servant leadership. Every morning when I pick my three and a half month baby (he was born a day before Bryce) out of his bed I think about Scott. I hope that baby is smiling at him and starting to trust him more and more. My poor husband struggles because the baby wants Momma all the time. I pray that Bryce craves his Daddy. Scott has to be the most special, dear man to have won the heart of Jill Jarvis!
I want to thank you, Baird Family, for helping us all heal during this sad season. I cannot tell you how many people at my school check this blog that did not even know Jill. They are all invested in this precious angel they never had the priviledge to meet. So many people are praying for Scott and Bryce. I hope they feel everyone's prayers.
Thank you again.

I will never know how the Lord navigated me to this site a little over two weeks ago, but He certainly had a big purpose. I accepted Christ in High School, went on to work for a youth ministry for 6 years, and later led women's ministry at a very large church. I share that background b/c Jesus has been "My Everything" over the course of my 33 years of life. Sadly, when I got married a few years ago, the devastation of so many trials completely rocked my faith. I have simply been existing . . . rather than living. After reading about Jill's life, the Lord has COMPLETELY welcomed me back into His embrace and an abundant relationship with Him. My daily quiet times (which haven't existed in years) start out with a "thank you for the life of Jill Jarvis Attebury" . . . a woman that I didn't even know. Her testimony and the words about her life have driven me into the depths of my Savior. My cirumstances have not changed, but I now have hope, once again, because I KNOW the Lord is at the forefront of my life. Over the past week, two of my closest friends commented that they have not seen "this light" in me for years. I got to share Christ's redemption and hope with them once again. I am so grateful to Jill for touching the life of me and my family. I am thankful to Scott for allowing their lives to be shared with others. And . . . I appreciate that every time I look at my 18 month old son, I will be reminded of Bryce and the gift his sweet Mommy gave to me. God Bless
To "K".... your comment brought tears of joy to my eyes. How wonderful that Jill's life has touched you so much, even though you never had the chance to meet her. Her great is our God! I'm so thankful you've found your joy in Him! God bless you and your family!
