Why do we spend so much time concentrating on this life? As a believer we get so caught up in the here and now and not in eternity. Barrett reminded me of that very fact this week. We have been talking about his operation and his heart; answering any and all questions that pop into his mind. One afternoon we were by ourselves talking and he looked at me and said, "Mommy, it's okay that God made my heart this way now because when I go to heaven it will be perfect." This life is but a vapor as scripture tells us. We would do well to remember that and not get caught up in things that don't matter.
We leave for Houston day after tomorrow. We are filled with MANY emotions as we get ready but we KNOW our God is able to do exceedingly abundant things in our Bear's life. We check into the hospital on Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m. for Barrett's pre-op. Our prayer is for him to have no fear on Tuesday and for us to be a witness to any and everyone we meet. To share that only Jesus can be our foundation and through HIM is our strength. We pray Jesus will allow Brock to feel our love through the miles that seperate us and the will be happy and secure in our absence. What a delight that little man is to us!
We sense your prayers and are grateful you are interceding on our behalf. Look for great things to come in the days ahead!
We are praying around the clock (you know my hours of sleep vary), so I mean everytime I wake up I think of your family and go to the Father in pray for you!
