HOPE ENDURES

“Everybody’s got a story, everybody’s got a song.” This is Kim Wittke’s story of  HOPE.  Hear her melody and pass it along.  “Hope is a word and emotion that has been very prominent in my life the last 4 years. When my daughter Mackenzee was born we gave her the middle name, “Hope.” She was born with many health complications: heart, lung, brain, eating, breathing…just to name a few. Doctors told us that Mackenzee would not make the first week. Of course our first reaction was fear of losing our baby girl. But watching Mackenzee day after day fighting through many battles is where I found the true meaning of hope. I kept repeating this to myself, “as long as she has breath there is hope.” God has entrusted us with Mackenzee and He continues to give us the strength and wisdom to look after her. Her story is far reaching and I find that when others hear her story they are also filled with hope. There are many times where our journey is very rough. Watching your child time and time again struggle with so many complications can wear on the soul. Knowing that we don’t walk this alone, God is with us through it all, fills me with much hope. He loves Mackenzee so much and I know He will take care of her. Our Hope endures!”
