I am in Indianapolis as a severe storm gets ready to roll in. It is dark outside and thunder rolls across the fields into the city. Sitting next to me is Caid, in a crib, once again connected to monitors for his breathing and an IV in his little hand. I just met with an anestesiologist about his surgery in the morning. Here our family is, once again in trial.
"Rejoice spiritual family, again I say rejoice! Rejoice when all kinds of trials come upon you because trials lead to perseverence and perseverence will lead to hope and hope never fails when it is in the LORD"
My family and I cling to these words as Caid faces an exploratory and possibly corrective surgery for an upside down stomach and additional intestines in his abdomen. The justification is that we suspected that all of his grunting and crying out in pain was for a reason and unfortunately there is a reason. His older brothers, Carter and Kristofer continue to deal with things as best as they know how.
There is victory for the LORD spiritually as the lessons learned from when Ashley was in the hospital are now prevailing and His Spirit continues to provide the grace needed. The LORD continues to be with us.
