We dedicated Connor to God a few weeks back at church, and at the peak of my emotions, God reminded me.. Remember, Angela? Remember, you dedicated him to me? I love him much more than you ever could, and I will take special care of him. This of course lifted a huge burden from my chest. I knew I couldn't control this, or take this away from Connor, but God would be with him (and us) throughout this process. So, we gotta trust him to do that.
Phil. 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ that strenghtens me."
So, here's what we need prayer for:
- Pray for wisdom and guidance that we find the right surgical approach, and right surgical team
- Pray for Connor's head - that the surgery will completely fix his issue, and it heals perfectly like nothing ever happened
- Pray for his recovery - that he will quickly recover, and not be in too much pain, or have too much swelling or bruising
- Pray for Connor's development - He's WAY ahead as far as development now, but pray that this condition doesn't cause any development issues down the road
- Pray for mommy and daddy's emotional state. I go through times when I cry for my little baby.
Growing up my father a pastor always told me that my God would never put me through something I couldn't handle...I was told that He knows me, my strength, my weakness, and my prayers. This helped me to remember that though I feel like I may not be able to continue that God is there urging me on. There is always something better on the steeper side of hard. May God bless your family, heal your son, and answer your prayers.

Yes, we've heard that as well. Thanks Carrie!
ReplyDeleteWow - Angela, thanks for being so transparent in how you have been processing Connor's diagnosis. You do a good job of conveying your mama's heart that longs for her child to not have to go thru pain and a heart full of faith in a loving God. We're praying for ya'll!
