Tonight I Was There.....

I was not there the moment these two daughters of mine were born.  I was not there the moment they first smiled, or walked, or talked.

But tonight, I was there as they were born into the Kingdom of God.  I held their sweet little hands and listened to them pray and ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior.  I was there the moment their names were recorded in Heaven.  I was there the moment their sins were forgiven.  I was there the moment they became true daughters of a father that never abandons, never leaves, never disappoints. 

They have both been asking us questions for quite a while.  They've been asking their Sunday School teachers about how to become Christians as well.  Tonight, we read a sweet little book, "Would You Like To Know Jesus?" and afterwards, they were both ready. 

It is an emotional night here.  As I think about all the ways that God moved in their little lives to bring them to this moment.  I am overwhelmed.  I am so grateful that I was there for this moment in time.  Thank you God.

Sailing Through

The cardiologist said Pearl is sailing through.  In fact we may even go home this afternoon.

Out of Surgery

We are now with Pearl in the ICU. Dr. Peeler was pleased with repairs.  We will be here 6-10 days.  Please continue to pray for her recovery.

surgery updates

We arrived at hospital at 5:30. Pearl went to the OR at 7.   Surgery started at 9.  They started closing at  11:45.

Prayers for Pearl

Pearl's surgery will be on Monday, April 9 at 7:30am. Please pray for Dr. Peeler and Dr. Maxey as they preform the open heart surgery to repair her little heart.
Words can't describe how we feel right now. We love this little girl to pieces and can't hardly bear the thoughts of her going through such a serious surgery. We find peace, however, in knowing that she is in the hands of our God who loves her more than we can even imagine. 
We would be grateful for your prayers in the coming days.
