Update on Lincoln Michael Stone

Today was Lincoln's birthday! He made it through the surgery, but he's not out of the woods yet. He is a whopping 6.5lbs, with some of that weight being the fluid that he was retaining. Even still, he's a good sized little boy which is working in his favor. He has a good heartbeat, but not a great heartbeat. What you can be praying for right now is his lungs. His lungs still have some fluid in them and are not working at the capacity that they need to be. Every report that we hear continues to be good, so we are thanking God for the healing that he's breathing into Lincoln's life.

What really is amazing is the reports that we hear about the hospital staff. God's glory is already being displayed in the hospital! Apparently, the staff told Mike and Rebecca that they are amazed to see how they have been handling this whole thing. Rebecca has constantly been in the Word and sharing their peace with every staff member of the hospital. Mike is reassuring us that God is in control of this little life. He'll do what is best for their family. That peace that we have been praying for them has definitely been poured out in abudance. We will continue to pray for Mike, Rebecca and Lincoln. Everything is still very touch and go! We're still praying that God would open the eyes of the staff at the hospital. I'm sure that there are people who are taking care of Mike and Rebecca that need the grace of Jesus in their lives. Will you continue to pray with us? Thank you so much for all the support that we have already received!!

Our heart for Moses' heart

The month of January, 2016…aka the month of challenge, or maybe we should call it the month of change. So much has happened to our family this month that we are living in survival mode. You know, I really wish that I was more consistent at blogging. I wish that every time I updated this wasn’t because we were in some sort of crisis. But, I’m not going to cry too much over that failure. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Back to the reason for this post. On December 31 st at 10:40pm, we had the privilege of having Ivory Rose Stone join our family. What a joy it has been to have a little teenie, tiny baby around again. It is so much fun seeing new sides come out of each of us. Hannah is even more of a mom than I could have imagined. I am so proud of her instinct and compassion. She is going to be a fantastic mom one day! I was a little nervous about Izzie. She is my little snuggle bug, so the whole jealous factor was a big concern. She has definitel...

Mold and Moving

Today is one of the hardest days to date. And yet, I can always sense when we are being prayed for. How? In the midst of insurmountable circumstances, I am calm. My depression hasn't kicked in. My heart still has such great hope that things will all turn out. Promises from God's word are readily on my lips. It may seem chaotic, but there is calm in the middle of the storm. That is how I know people are praying. That is how I hear, see, feel God near. I am so sure that there are a thousand other ways that He is. That's just my finite view. Today, we had to get rid of a ton of stuff. I went into today so hopeful that we would get to keep so much stuff and it didn't end up that way. It made so much more sense to get rid of a ton. I am a bit in shock right now to be honest. It is hitting me that so many sentimental things are gone. I don't honestly know what is kept and what got thrown away. Are Dan's love letters still with us? Did the last card that my grandp...

His second coming

This is the season of Advent, a season of waiting. This is a time of year where in the the tradition of the church we visibly remind ourselves that we are waiting for Jesus to come again. His first coming as a baby was to take care of sin. His second coming that we long for, that we remember is ahead of us, is for those who eagerly wait for him. I read this phrase this morning, "so, Christ, have been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him." I don't know why I am surprised sometimes that reading God's word so poignantly aligns with the thoughts I have been battling. Particularly, "God, my friend is struggling. Right now, her life is not easy and she is watching her child suffer. Why?" This question I have of, "Why?" has been treated so differently from so many different people.  They have told me that question is so hard and it will drive you ins...
