waiting

Still praying....

Still hurting....

Along with MANY others.

Finally getting to hug Joel and Jess and touch baby Cora was nice.
But it broke my heart even more to see friends in such pain and to shed tears with them.

I think about them constantly throughout my day and pray every time.
But at night when I lay my head on my pillow, the thoughts pour in.

Here are some verses that I've been turning to:

"For I know the plans I have for you saith the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

I know God has a plan for little Cora. He has a plan for Joel and Jess.
Nothing happens on this earth without first passing through Him.
He is a GOOD God. And I know that he will have only GOOD come from all of this.

"Now the Lord of hope fill you with all the joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost." Romans 15:13

The only way we can truly have peace and and hope during this time, is through the Lord.

I know that the Joel and Jess are touching so many during this time. Their faith is a true testimony. If you haven't read Jess's blog yet, I hope you will. Through the pain and suffering they are going through right now, she is finding things to praise our mighty God for.


I am just in AWE and tears fill my eyes when I think about the number of people who are praying for this dear family. Jess said they have heard from people in China, Italy, London and France who are praying for Cora. Thank you to all of my friends and family, for praying for this family you've never met....and for passing this prayer request to those you know also.

When Taylor and I prayed last night, she said "tank you baby Corwhah, make her feel better"
I know that lots of other little ones all over are praying for little Cora too.
Prayers from toddlers...nothing can beat that.

So now we just wait. We wait to hear the results from Cora's biopsy. We wait to find out when she'll go home and when she'll start treatment. We wait till we can see and hug Joel and Jess again. We wait to see what the Lord's plan for this family is.

I put this song on my ipod after seeing the movie Fireproof. I listen to it all the time. And have loved it even more these last few days. I think about this waiting game that Joel and Jess are having to go through. And how they are able to see God and his grace and mercy through it all.




We must truly remember that everything on this earth is HIS.
Even these little ones....belong to him.


WE LOVE YOU CORA! WE LOVE YOU JOEL AND JESS!
