Look who's sitting up!!! It's bittersweet for me to see my baby girl sitting up like a big girl! Two weeks ago, the same time frame that her brother and sister first sat up, Sadie sat up and joined her siblings in the more mobile world!
She also is rocking on her knees...Lord give me strength for the weeks ahead!
I wanted to update you on Sadie. Our sweet girl has been giving us some scares the past couple of months. When she was 3 months, I noticed a lump on her head, mid- lateral to her right ear. Joe and I took her into the dr. and they checked her blood. All looked good. He did not know what the lump was. At her 4 month well check, the lump was still present and he sent us to an ENT for a second opinion. Dr. Duke reassured us that he did not think it was cancerous or anything of the "bad" lumps, but felt it was probably congenital...a cyst or something of the sort. So if any changes were to develop, to notify him immediately. Fast forward to the night of the 18th and Sadie had an atypical seizure while I was holding her. It was very scary to see something happening to her and not know what was happening or what to do. We saw our pediatrician the next day and he set her up for an EEG and CT scan. Last Thursday we had the EEG and Sadie did really well. We should know the results this week. She is scheduled for the CT scan Wednesday morning, 9/2, where she is supposed to have sedation. Please be praying for Sadie, that she will handle the test well and that we will continue to trust the Lord with her life.
I have felt the Lord remind me of His truth and promises through my times with Him, from our Pastor, through friends...I love Jesus Calling, a devotional book that Rachel spoke highly of. No lie, almost every time I read it, the passage speaks directly to my circumstances...no matter what they are. Last week, these were the first lines of several entries... "Come to Me...Come to Me when you are weak and weary...Find Me in the midst of maelstrom...Expect to encounter adversity in your life...I am a God who heals...Entrust your loved ones to Me...Trust Me in the midst of a messy day...The peace I give is sufficient for you"
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Psalm 105:4
Last week our pastor talked on Psalm 37 and how if there are things in our life that we don't have, then God, in his goodness, has ordained that we don't need it. While we were holding Sadie during the EEG we got a text from Steve Johnson, out of the blue, telling us that we came to mind during his prayer time and wanted us to know that he was praying for us and that he loved us. Coincidental? I think not! He reminded us that through all of this, God is still on HIS throne! What great Truth to cling to. May God be gracious to us as we cling to Him during all these uncertain times.

I've been thinking and praying for y'all as Sadie comes to mind. I've been anxious to hear an update so thanks for sharing your heart. I know it's hard to trust the Lord, and yet I'm so thankful for people like Steve who let you know they are praying. What sweet encouragement! Sadie has grown up! She is just adorable!!! It makes me sad I haven't met her. I really hope we can all find a time to hang out soon!
Suz, please know I am on my knees at this moment interceding on your behalf. What an encouragement to know that our children are not our own just as we are not our own. I love you so much my sweet friend and will lift that precious baby girl up every time I think of you! God is good and He is good ALL THE TIME!!
We will definitely be praying for Sadie and the tests and results to come. She is looking absolutely beautiful like the rest of her family. We'll pray for peace during this time and for great health for your baby girl.
We will definitely be praying for your sweet girl and for you and Joe. We love ya'll!
Sadie has the sweetest smile. I will pray for yall multiple times a day. Now that I am a mom my heart is so open and touched when anything less than good involves our sweet babies.
