Time stands still...

Usually two days before our appointment time begins to stand still.  Our lives feel similar to the childhood game Red Light, Green Light.  The green light is on when we celebrate our the sound of the heart beat.  It carries us through most of the week, feeling blessed that Noah is still with us.  We celebrate and plan the week ahead.  Praise to the Lord is given.  Then typically two days before our appointment the fear of the unknown begins to set in.  As we near the appointment, the red light goes on.  We become numb and paralyzed with fear.  Each step is difficult, everything feels like you are climbing a mountain.  We are unable to make definite plans for the week ahead, we just don't know.  When we are standing still, it becomes some of our darkest times.  Again we question God and why this is happening.  Broken hearted we cry out to the Lord.  Our trust remains in Him, but we humbly ask for more time with Noah and we humbly ask for a miracle.  
Please keep us in your prayers as we go through these dark times that seem to stand still.  Pray for a miracle for Noah and that our faith stays strong through all these hard times.

  2. Dear Noah,
    I wanted to write this to tell you how much I love you. Every prayer I offer includes talking to God about you. You are loved by everyone around you and so many prayers are being sent heavenward for you. More important than that, you are very precious to the very One that created you. He made you just the way He wanted you to be and we must not forget that. Right now, we are hurting and can not understand why this is happening. But our small minds cannot see the big picture, the one that God knows. You are in His plan and someday we will know the purpose behind all of this. If we are left in this world with only memories of pictures and heartbeats, we look forward to the day when we can see how happy you are in Heaven with Jesus. We will heal even though we are at our darkest moments right now. That's why there are rainbows. We are thankful for every moment we get to spend with you now. We are praying for miracles to the God that can do anything. We love you,Noah.

    Love Ba(Grandma)

  3. Dan and Katie,
    We're thinking about you guys this morning...I know that there aren't words that make your journey easier to be on right now, but we pray that you feel like you are being carried by your friends and family and surrounded by the Holy Spirit. I don't know what lies ahead for you, but I pray that you will know God's peace, and in some possible way in time, His goodness.
