Worry...

This week has started out as a hard one for me. I am in constant prayer for my unborn son. I know that God is in control and is skillfully shaping my child in my womb, but I have been witness to several babies that were born with some pretty serious health issues at birth. If I let my head take over the worry becomes almost unbearable.

I am a pretty avid reader of this womans blog whose son was diagnosed with some pretty serious heart issues while in the womb, but after a prayer chain erupted through the internet her son was born seemingly completely healed. After over 4 months of healthy living and growing, this sweet chubby baby began having heart trouble again this week. My head has been spinning with thoughts of her and that sweet little infant who can probably only take so much more of the trauma that his body is going through. I ache at the thought of being a mother in her postion, but as I read her posts it is obvious that God is carrying her through this and she has given up her child completely to God. She believes in the power of prayer, but also knows that God already knows what will happen to her son. (please pray for baby Stellan and family... you can read the story at www.mycharmingkids.net)

I pray for the kind of faith that will allows me to give my child to God whether he is healthy or not. I know God is in control. I will continue to lift my son's body up to God, but I refuse to live a life of fear. God will take care of HIS son, Ransom.
