One week down!

Well, Timothy and I have passed the one week mark in the hospital and it has actually gone by pretty fast. When I think back to last Sunday morning, I remember the strange mixture of concern and peace as we drove to the hospital. It's the same mix of emotions that I recall from Brad's head injury a few years ago. In the flesh, you think about the worst case scenario, but oh how the Spirit brings comfort by bringing specific Scriptures to mind. I was assured that God is faithful regardless of my circumstances and would see us through whatever news we received at the hospital.

Now a week later, we praise the Lord for keeping our son safe and for the tremendous love we have been shown. We continue to take this journey a day at a time, but rest in the assurance that He alone holds the future. During this season of waiting and trusting, the body of Christ has reached out in tremendous ways. I have received word that people are praying that I have never met. On this side of heaven, we will never know how many people have lifted up this baby boy, and I cannot wait to see what God does with his life!

Many of you know that my sister Katelyn is getting married June 26, and one of the many blessings of their relationship is that the Fusons have become part of our family too. Because I have been on bedrest so long, I don't even remember the last time I had a haircut. I know it's trivial in the grand scheme of things, but once Linda found out, she was up here to give me a haircut, bedrest style!

Please continue to pray that the baby will stay safe and I will remain clear of infection until it's time for his arrival. Thanks!
