No real words, just pure sorrow
Steven Curtis Chapman, an amazing christian musical artist, father, husband and inspiration suffered a loss last night. His five year old daughter, Maria, was tragically taken to heaven in a terrible accident in their driveway. To place judgement on the young man would be completely mistaken. It was an accident. And he, along with the entire family, needs support, prayer and love in a big way. My heart is crushed for these precious people.

Pray that God will comfort them entirely. And that only AMAZING will come from this tragedy. Our Father will have answers when we get to heaven...but until then let the family just receive your mercy God!
This is a video from his latest album, and the song is called "Cinderella". He wrote this song about his daughters...Maria was part of this story, as you will see after the video. (Your little ones, gifts of time and from God...hold your babies close and take the time to build the memories)
(feeling tremendous sadness for this family)
My heart is SO SAD and broken for him and his family. This is Chris' favorite song Steven sings..reminding him of his dd....it's a very sad day here.

I am so hurting for this family and especially their son. I pray God blankets them with love and comfort. He knows their pain more than anybody.

I've been a huge fan of SCC's music for years and my heart broke when I read the news yesterday.

Oh my heart broke when I heard of this devastating news yesterday. I have been a huge fan of SCC's music since the early 90's. (My fav song and album has always been "the great adventure".) There is nothing worse than losing a child and I can only imagine what they must be going through. I pray that the Lord will shower them with His peace and comfort.

This song makes me bawl like a baby and that was BEFORE this tragedy happened. I am a puddle of mush when I hear it!
