Stay Strong

Updates on Liam from his parents:
"Summon your Power O God, show us your strength as you have done before."
Psalm 68:28

Philippians 4:6-7 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Night Post:
-Another sleepy day...we continue to chart his sleep patterns and they may be giving him some sleep meds at night to get Liam back to sleeping through the night and being up most the day besides his nap.
-Liam did pretty good at his therapies today...He was only met with once by each therapist today since it was the weekend.
-Tomorrow Liam will be hit hard with therapies...we will see how that goes...hoping (praying)for a good therapy day!
-they made Liam 'walk' a lot today

Prayer Targets:
-Please BELIEVE with us and pray pray pray pray for a complete healing for our boy...God is our only hope. Pray for a miracle for his eyes, ears, and mind!!!
-Pray for all his therapies tomorrow...that he will be awake and ready to go. (and not cry so much...it breaks my heart even though i know he needs it)
-Please pray that he sleeps well tonight so he is well rested
-please pray that he enjoys eating and will eat a ton tomorrow during speech so we can get that tube out of his nose!!!!!!!!
--Please thank God with us that he spared our son:)

Matthew 14:29-31 "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

At the beginning, when we were in the ICU, these verses helped me a lot. How quickly I forget, as the "wind" gets stronger and it gets harder to go on, I take my eyes off of Jesus and I sink, and sink fast. Jesus help me to focus on you and your words and your promises...'catch me by the hand' and forgive me for my doubt. Please be strong for me when I am weak

James 5:7-20. I prayed today and asked for a word from him. I know I probably read these verses recently but I was told to read James 5 specifically. Well guess what God told me to be patient as the farmer is waiting for his crops..... So I am going to be patient no matter how much my heartbreaks no matter how painful and hard this is I have decided to be patient. I can't change anything except through the power of Christ. Keep praying.
