Affirmation

We’re enjoying a relaxing Sunday today.  On the heels of last nights good news we have had a chance to relax and reflect a bit on the past days of events.  On Friday when we were in the process of getting the bad news that Olivia was doing worse and deciding what to do.  We had some alone time in the patient room and were praying and telling God how we knew He was with us but needed to really feel His presence in this moment.  We continued to pray and talk until the team (2 doctors and a nurse) came back in.  After more discussion, one of the doctors was called by our “would be” surgeon and left the room.  The nurse was then told to go and get the directions for the surgery center for us.  Once she left this particular physician asked for our hands and began to pray.  He lead us in prayer and closed by looking right at Allison and said “remember they are His babies and He loves them.  Keep praying, this is why its called FAITH!”  Tears welled up in his eyes as he assured us we would continue to be in his prayers.  When we left we knew the Lord had worked through this physician to reassure us that He was right there with us.  What an amazing God we serve!
