Welcome

THIS IS THE REAL LIFE DOCUMENTARY OF....

Faith and Fear...

Trust and Doubt...

Ups and Downs...

A God that still performs miracles...

A 1-pound baby girl and 3-pound baby boy...

This is our story; this is our life.

**************************************

In the race of life, God our heavenly Father has come alongside us through the person of the Holy Spirit. And

~when we think we can't go one more step,

~when the race becomes painful beyond endurance,

~when our hearts feel heavy,

~when our minds become dull,

~when our spirits are burned out,

we have the comforter who comes alongside us, puts His everlasting arms around us, and gently walks with us.

Absent Blood flow

Today, our sonogram revealed consistently absent blood flow. So, things are, unfortunately, trending in the wrong direction. We will, however, keep trying to holding out until things get to a reverse flow situation....we just don't know when that will be.

I'll be at 27 weeks, 4 days tomorrow. We'd like to coast through to next Thursday but that will be contingent on the daily sonograms, as well as my blood pressure. We're trusting that God has this already worked out and that He already knows exactly the time. We just hope it's a few more weeks from now :)

On a positive note, we experienced, yet again, the power of God's hand in our sweet church family. Landon went to our Saturday night worship while I was laying here resting at the hospital. At about 6:15, just after our service started, my cell phone rang. It was our pastor's mom on the other end of the line, sitting there in the front row of the service. She said, "Jennifer, I'm going to hand the phone to Chris (our pastor) and he's going to put you on speaker and pray for you in front of the service." WOW! I've never experienced anything like this. So, as I lay there in the hospital bed, I listened "virtually" as our pastor announced to the audience that I was on the phone and that he felt led to lift us up in prayer. They called Landon to the front of the stage and the church reached their hands out towards him as he represented our family. I got to listen as he prayed for health and life for our sweet babies. It was an incredible experience - one that neither Landon or I will ever forget. We are truly blessed to be at a church that practices what it preaches. I know our church is united behind us and our little ones are being lifted up by so many.

We're hoping for another stable report tomorrow. Sometimes I feel like my prayers may get a little repetitive to God, but I'm going to keep asking for a miracle. It's all we've got.

I can tell you are a little down tonight by reading your blog, and i want to remind you that the joy of the lord is our strength. Everything is already under control, and you just need to sit back (or lay back) and let God do His work! You have made it through this far, and you will continue to keep on keeping on! You have done an amazing job taking care of two babies and yourself this far...Hang in there, sista, COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT!

Love,
Kathy

Been thinking about you all day, and so encouraged that another hurdle (day) has been completed. I can only imagine how hard this constant, lengthy battle has been on your nervous system, but you two are such an inspiration through all the difficulty! Landon's blog about counting it all joy was amazing.

Just wanted to let you know you're constantly in our prayers. Love you all!

Hi, Jenn: Today as I was rocking McKenna, Ithought about your blog on numbers. I thought of the children's Bible song Can You Count the Stars. Here are the words: v.1 Can you count the stars of evening that are shining in the sky? Can you count the clouds that daily over all the world go by? God, the Father, doth not slumber--Keepeth all the boundless number-But He careth more for thee. Yes, He careth more for thee.
v.2 Can you count the birds that warble in the sunshine all the day? Can you count the little fishes That in sparkiling waters play? God the Lord their number knoweth-For each one His care He showeth. Shall He not remember thee? Shall He not remember thee?
v. 3 Can you count the little children in their little beds at night? Who without a thought of sorrow rise again at morning light? God the lOrd who dwells in heaven Loving care to each has given. He has not forgotten thee, He has not forgotten thee.
