It’s been a lovely Sunday. Grace and Cole got to go down to Birmingham and spend the afternoon with Tim’s parents. They had a blast at the Brick Fair checking out all the amazing Legos. What a great way to keep their minds off the heavy things they are facing this week.
But as you know, you can only avoid reality for so long – it always catches up with you. And reality caught up with Grace tonight. At 11, she is old enough to know roughly what is going on, but there are still so many things that she doesn’t grasp. Words she hasn’t heard before. Procedures she doesn’t understand. I am so very proud of what a strong young lady she is, but even the strong break. The unknown coupled with and active mind is a breeding ground for fear.
So tonight, I sat in her bed. Praying over her. Asking the Lord to grant her peace and calm, to ease her fear. To guard her heart in mind in the name of Jesus. What a joy it is to hold my precious girl, even if she is just as big as me.
Would you pray with us tonight over Grace? For peace and calm, steady hands for her surgeon directed by God himself. Wisdom for her medical team to keep Grace at ease. For the cyst to be removed easily, be benign, not to return, and healing to be swift, with minimal pain.
I hate that our children have these fears looming over them, but I know Our God’s plan is perfect. I know that they are learning to trust Him in a very tangible way. My prayer is that Tim and I are able to help them overcome their fear with trust and faith in the One who made them and loves them above all else.
We will be at the surgery center at 7:45 tomorrow morning. I will update when I can.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
My beautiful Grace
Oh how I love this girl
And oh how Kayleigh loved her Sissy Duck💜
