A Little Q&A with Caleb and Myself!
So Caleb and I were talking and the question was asked, "Why can't we just know what's wrong with her? Why can't God come down from heaven and simply tell us 'she's going to live' or 'she's going to die'?" It would be nice to know the answer to both of those questions, even if we don't like the answers, but at least we'd know and some small part of the stress would be gone. If God could just come down and sit with us and say, "This is how it's going to be ..." But then I feel like God spoke through me while we were both wondering about the question and this is the answer we got, "If He came down and sat with us and told us everything that was about to happen and what the outcome would be would we still seek after Him?" If we knew all the answers to the problems and how it all would end would so many people around the world still lift their faces to God in prayer! I don't think so .. So I think the reason He doesn't just tell us the answers from the get go (even though occasionally that does happen) or even tell us the answers at all is beacuse we would probably stop seeking Him, praying to Him, praising Him and in the end we would fall away from Him completely. I know that I desire and need my relationship with Him more then I desire and need the answers .. So for now we wait on The Lord, and I think that's how it should be!

ReplyDeleteHi Autumn. This is Brenda. First of all, a health question. I have a friend whose grandson has CCHS-Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome. It is rare and there are only 2 drs. in the country who specialize in it...one in Chicago and one in San Diego. Have they checked Eowyn for that? Just thought you would want to ask the drs.
ReplyDeleteOn the spiritual side....having just been through the trauma of Keri's life-threatening illness, I want to tell you that you are on the right track spiritually. For the 16 days Keri was in critical condition, I never had peace as to whether she would live or not. I prayed and trusted God, but never had peace that He would heal her. All I can say is that He gave me and Danny the Grace to deal with each incident that happened, and to get through each day...one day at a time. Keep trusting, Baby. He'll see you through. All I knew to do was cling to Him and His tender mercies that are new every morning. We will continue to pray for healing for her and for the strength of our Savior for you and Caleb. I love you, Honey. Wish I were there to give you a hug.
I don't know any of you but my family has been praying for your precious child since a friend asked us to. May the God of all comfort make His presence tangible to you as you travel this road. Give her sweet face a kiss for us.
ReplyDeleteDear family of baby Eowyn,
ReplyDeleteI am the niece of Glenn Hobbs. I can only imagine how difficult this journey has been for you all. My son was in NICU as well, his lungs weren't fully developed, he ended up getting pneumonia, and then his lungs collapsed, it felt like a roller coaster,he would do well, then crash again...but, with all the prayers he got better. I know the Lord is with baby Eowyn and I will continue to pray everyday for the healing of Eowyn and for you all to stay healthy and rested. My thoughts and prayers are always with you!
Always,
Nicole (from Idaho)
