We should pray and hope for healthy children, but ultimately we have to trust that He is in control, "assume" that He has their and our best in mind, and not give in to fear.<BR/><BR/>Though I would not have chosen for Natalia to have heart surgery as a newborn, just look at what we can testify to today!<BR/><BR/>You inspire faith in me by sharing your continuing journey...kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033185065189737134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-44885186017973661582008-10-15T19:58:00.000-04:002008-10-15T19:58:00.000-04:00you are so right about children going things, e.g....you are so right about children going things, e.g. medical procedures much better than adults! i saw livi endure so much in a year and a half...and able to do so because of her wonderful mother. (yet, at the same time as the mom you are going through it too! to watch someone you love so selflessly suffer is beyond comprehension, is it not?) you are a great mom too, and that really sets the tone for your child to bear up during these procedures. i am glad to hear that they are less frequent and that you had a companion to bear the load! gretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-86034948595157469272008-10-15T17:51:00.000-04:002008-10-15T17:51:00.000-04:00Wonderfully written. What a testimony you and Juda...Wonderfully written. What a testimony you and Judah have to share with others.<BR/><BR/>And De is wonderful. I truly would love to be like her when I "grow up". She has that wonderful balance of light-heartedness and compassion. I'm benefiting greatly to her being in my small group at the ladies' Bible study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
