Wednesday

Praying for a day of victory and good news. I'm headed out to be with my lady today. Sounds like it was a restless night again :(. They are going to check her wounds and throat/lungs again today. Thanks for your prayers and care!!

Love you all,
Lamar

    We continue to lift you all up in prayer. Hopefully you will receive good news soon and the breathing tube can come out. We have been praying for peaceful rest for Grace and patience as she waits on the Lords timing in regards to her healing.

  2. Hey Lamar.
    Just wanted you to know we've been following your blog and praying for you and Grace. Our kids Drew and Maddie pray for you at night and Maddie even put Grace in her prayer journal. They remember you, as does Jeff, as the "really good volleyball couple". :) Love to you both in Christ across the miles.

  3. Hi Lamar,
    My heart breaks for you guys! We are praying for you and Grace. My daughter has had numerous surgeries/hospital stays at CHOP and I am also grateful for insurance but wished the journey had been different. I know God puts everything into our lives for a reason but it can be extremely painful at times. I am thankful God is holding you both in his hands and giving you the strength and patience you need to endure each day. We will keep praying!!
    Blessings,

  4. Lamar,

    Zach and I are continually holding you and Grace up in our prayers. Don't lose heart! God is with you!

    I heard this song on the radio yesterday and it made me think of you and Grace. I'm sure you've heard it, Chris Rice's Untitled Hymn. Here are the two verses that really touched me and I hope they remind you that your strength and hope is in the Lord.

    Sometimes the way is lonely
    And steep and filled with pain
    So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
    Cry to Jesus
    Cry to Jesus
    Cry to Jesus and live.

    O, and when the love spills over
    And music fills the night
    And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
    Dance for Jesus
    Dance for Jesus
    Dance for Jesus and live.

    Still praying,
    Zach and Erin

  6. Haven't stopped praying for you guys. I know it's hard to walk out of the hospital every night and leave your loved one "behind". I was thinking about this last night while I was praying for you, and God reminded me that you aren't leaving Grace alone. She is in the best possible hands. The Lord provided the most awesome picture in my head of Grace and her guardian angel, who stays by her side through the night. Be encouraged, don't lose heart. You and your families have people from across the US--and across the world-- lifting you up in prayer.

  7. Just wanted to let you know that you are both continually in our thoughts and prayers! It was good to see you, Lamar, in Sunday School. Continue to trust the Lord and know that He will carry you through! (Matthew 28:20)

    Jan asked for song suggestions to be put on Grace's iPod. The first song that came to mind is Allen Asbury's "Somebody's Praying Me Through".
    The song that's been going through my head all day at work (I'm a night nurse with a 12-hr shift) is Avalon's new song, "Still My God". Here is the chorus:
    "If I'm standing on a mountain
    Or drowning in a sea
    If I am filled with hope
    Or crying out for mercy
    If I'm singing hallelujah
    Or scared to make a sound
    If I am learning how to walk
    Or when I'm falling down
    I'm saying You are still my God
    Still my God."
    Praying for you!
