Thank you to Everyone!

Blessings to everyone,

I thought I would give Mom a rest and blog this evening. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, phone calls, and comments. Friday's news came to me as very bitter - sweet, knowing that we have three beating hearts and the reality that Baby C needs a miracle from the Lord to survive. We are very grateful that the Lord has given us so much support in the forms of our family, friends, associates, and even people we have never met are visiting this site. I would also like to thank my beautiful wife Vanessa for being such a great mother and friend.

My wife and I have been talking about the possible reasons why the Lord has allowed this to occur to a child in which He created and loves so much. The reality is that often the Lord does not reveal His perfect plan until He has prepared us to receive it.
We do believe with all our faith that the Lord we serve is the Savior of the world and if its part of His plan will cure Baby C. When Jesus went to raise Lazarus from the dead He said " The sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." John 11:4 Through all of our babies but especially Baby C the Lord will glorify Himself through this child. Our Savior performs miracles on a daily basis and we pray that He may perform a miracle on Baby C and at the same time I thank the Lord for the miracle of all three babies in which we have prayed for and He has answered.

It is in the Lord's hands as we have been told that medically Baby C will not make it, but the Word says that all of Jesus' healing and His Resurrection have defied all human rationale. So, I revert to this Scripture,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30

In closing, blessings to everyone and your families. Your support is greatly appreciated. Please continue to pray for all of our babies. I leave you with John 14:1 " Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me (i.e. Jesus)."

Adrian
