Today I borrowed this prayer from my father in law, “God,
you are the ultimate Father and Your love is perfect. Christian truly belongs
to you and I am blessed to be the earthly mom you chose for him. I have to let
go of him now, not in defeat but in trust that You will do good, (whatever that
looks like.) I can’t do anything now but choose to trust You with my most
precious gift. Come and be his Father as I pass control over to you now. “
As many of you know yesterday Christian had a CT scan. The
scan showed us that he has a new tumor growing in his abdomen. We don’t know
any specifics but our ‘options’ will be presented to us tomorrow when we have
an appointment with Christian’s oncologist. Once again I ask you to drop to
your knees in prayer for our family. Pray for peace and strength for Chris and
I (as well as our mothers who are both here with us) and physical strength and
healing for Christian.

When I first heard the news I was very angry with God, I
wondered where He was in all of this. How could this possibly be happening to
us again, to Christian? How much does this little man have to endure? I swore
at him and wondered if He even existed. I have since repented for swearing at
the creator of the earth and questioning His plan J. The only way our family will
get through this is to lean on God, totally and completely give ourselves over
to Him and trust. This will be my biggest test of faith yet; in this of case of
complete desperation will I be able to give everything over to Him? I don’t
know but I am going to try because a life without God is a life without purpose
or hope. We are going to try and stay the same and focus on spending as much
quality time together as a family. Lots of cuddles on the couch and in bed,
lots of time making cookies in the kitchen, lots of time spent swimming at the
pool and relaxing in the hot tub. Lots of Lego Hero factory battles with Nanny
and reading books with Grammy. Lots of play time with his cousins and star wars
battles with uncle Peder. Lots of time to learn to really enjoy this life that
we have been given, embrace it for its fragility and awesomeness.
Today I am thankful for:
1.All the kids sitting in our bed together watching, How the
Grinch Stole Christmas
2.Jesus (that was Christian’s input)
3.Christian and I counting our kisses (we are up to 116)
