'Twas the Night Before....

I was honestly having a hard time writing this post tonight. I have 101 thoughts running through my mind, everything from the details of tomorrow to the dirt on my kitchen floor. I put the computer away and got in the shower and I really felt the Lord telling me to talk about how I have been getting through this tough time.

"Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be made known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not worry or be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request me made known to Christ".
Philippians 4:4-6

This sums it all up. Two weeks before we learned of Logan's heart condition our Bible study did a study on this verse. The story that was told was sad and I thought that is a good verse to live by but little did I know God was preparing me for something. That study taught me that the Lord is in control of every situation and no matter what there is always a reason to rejoice and celebrate his name. The last month and a half we have rejoiced that the doctors found his mummer when they did, before there was any serious damage. We have rejoiced in how this horrible situation has brought Rowdy and I closer as a couple and the three of us closer as a family. Lastly, we have rejoiced that our relationship with the Lord has grown.

We know Logan is gift from the Lord sent to us to watch over and care for him, he is not our child. We have made our request known because we know that we can ask him for what we want. However, in the end we know Logan is in God's hands and he will take care of our little man.

Thank you to everyone for all the prayers. It is so amazing to me all the love and support that has been poured out, even by people we do not know. Please know that each prayer and thought has been felt by Rowdy, Logan and I and you will never know what it means to us.
