I keep having to remind myself what I know to be true...that God is in control, that He loves Grace more than we do, that this is for His glory, that He will carry us when I don't think any of us will make it one more step, that He has sent loving friends here on earth to be His hands and feet, and so much more....
We would love for you to join us in prayer as we pray for:
1. Dr. Swift and the entire medical team...for steady hands, clarity and wisdom as Dr. Swift and others will be operating for many, many hours.
2. Good sleep tonight for all of us.
3. No anxiety for Grace or any of us but a peace that surpasses all understanding.
4. No fear for Grace as she heads into the operating room but a continued trust and faith in God.
5. Pray that Grace will feel a closeness to Him and that He will comfort her.
6. For Grace's spine and nerves that are attached to her spine....that every little tiny one would remain in tact with none being injured, severed, or bruised as the team operates to detach the tethered cord.
7. Pain management for Friday night, pray that somehow that she would feel very little or no pain.
8. For God to be glorified through this.
9. For Cannon tomorrow as he is at school, that he would be able to somehow keep focused and that God would surround him with loving friends to support him.
Thank you for your prayers and for your love for our family,
Carrie

Kent, Lisa, Jordan, Ryan, Rachel, Johnny and Rebekah are all praying and sending lots of love your way! God IS with you all today. He will give you what you need. He is with Grace...surrounding and enveloping her with His Holy Spirit. He is with the Dr's and Nurses...giving them the skills they need. Kevin and Carrie, you are being held up by His mighty strength. We love you!
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my prayers, and so many others', throughout the day. I know you know these verses in a far deeper way than most anyone, but these promises are more meaningful than any words I could say:
ReplyDeletePsalm 55:22: Cast your burden upon the LORD and He WILL sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
1 Peter 5:7: cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you
2 Corinthians 12:9: But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
All of us at the March of Dimes have you in our thoughts and prayers! You are such a special family to us and know that Grace will pull through this with strength and courage!
