Update on Andrew and Fun Fall Pictures

So we went back to the doctor last Monday for our sonogram very expectant for change.  Unfortunately, it not only showed the things that were wrong from the last report, but just went on to add to the list.  They could barely see his feet, yet alone if there were any bones in them, his neck is too short, his chin is too small, his face is not shaped correctly, his measurements were in the fatal category....of course we were very sad and felt discouraged!  


BUT, the Lord has given us strength to believe again that HE is the healer, and that this is not impossible for Him!  It also helps us to be surrounded by a community of believers who are praying without ceasing! Please keep sending us your testimonies! 


In 1 Samuel 30:3-6 David wept until he had no more strength to weep because everything was destroyed and his wives and sons and daughters were taken...but at the end of this passage it says that he found strength in the Lord his God.  Kenten and I are finding this to be so true on a daily basis.  His mercies are new every morning and He truly gives an unexplainable strength and HOPE to his children in times of need!  He is good!  We are choosing to rest/fall into in Jesus to be who He says He is!


A few sweet things the Lord does for me on a daily basis:

• encourages my heart by His word
• lets me feel Andrew move when I ask to feel him move
• puts just the right song on the radio - todays song was I Lift My Hands by Chris Tomlin
• has someone email me an encouraging word from the Lord, or a testimony of healing!
