We are just getting home from my Aunt's 80th birthday party. Just Matt and I went and we were glad to go and be with our family. We always feel encouraged to be surrounded by their love and uplifted by their faithful prayers. The prayer chain is in the works...if you are wanting to pray, please just pick a 30 minute block and leave your time in the comment section under this blog if you haven't already. It doesn't matter if that time slot is already taken, isn't it an amazing thought to think of all who will be united in prayer on Monday! I am going to keep a list going and will keep it with me Monday...
We are busy packing up again tonight and just trying to hold it together. So many dark thoughts are creeping in my mind in these hours before we leave and I'm praying for God to keep me focused. I'm not sure how to let my baby go into an operating room again, this time for a life threatening operation. I don't know how to sit for hours wondering if he will make it. I don't know how to be hundreds of miles from home and without my friends and family at my side.
Enough of what I don't know...what I do know is that my God is holding us in His arms every step. His grace has carried me this far and all I know how to do is continue to look to Him for every breath that I need. All I know is that when you reach the end of your rope, the only thing you can do is fall into the arms of He that loves you more than any other. That is really all we can do in these next days.
My heart is full with the love and prayers of all of you...thank you for falling in love with our Brady and caring enough to pray for him.
Micah 7:8
Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
With love,
Megan
edited to add: Our flight leaves at 1pm. Also, I keep forgetting to mention, Brady has been standing and taking 2-4 steps then falling laughing into our arms. Steps for Brady...a dream come true:)
hugs and thoughts are with you on this step of your journey.

ReplyDeleteHi Megan,
ReplyDeleteIt's Jesly - I met you on Facebook a few weeks back. All of you are always in our prayers. I will pray Monday from 1:00-1:30 pm.
I'm sure you already know these verses, but just wanted to share them.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30
I for one have fallen head over heals for your little man. I have a son who has some major medical issues and I so know how hard it can be. Please know you are in my prayers .
ReplyDeleteFor such a time as this! This is what we've all been waiting, praying, and hoping for. Our redeemer lives! We will trust in His name. We may walk through the fire but we will not be burned, we may go through the waters but we will not drown. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future! Jer. 29:11. Brady we cheer for you, we are fasting and praying little buddy, you are so loved!!!!
