    Father,

    We all lift our hands in praise, to you, the Maker & Ruler of all things.

    Right now, a new life is struggling to make his or her way out into your big, beautiful world.  Please guide the doctors & nurses in the room working as we speak.  Give Mom & Dad a measure of your peace, as well as grandparents Smile.  And mostly God, we entrust Baby Boo to you. Deliver Baby safely & may he or she feel your comfort as the big scary birth is underway. 

    Your will be done.  Amen

    Amen Joni.  Grandbabies make all we've gone through so worth it.  I can hardly wait each week to see my little Jacob the next weekend.  Meece, I'm soooo excited for you.

    Thank you ladies.  We are so scared.  Beth's BP has been up to 180/110.  They have started the epidural and have her on Oxycontin, the labor is being pushed with pitocin and as per the most recent text, they are optimistic about her BP.

    They have Beth's BP under control but have decided to to an emergency C-section.  mama is being prepped and Daddy is wearing a funky outfit for the operating room.

    Dearest Heavenly father, please guide the physician and medical team as baby Boo makes an entrance into this world.  Be with Beth as she goes through this procedure and protect both mother and baby.  Be with Drew as he stands as a comfort to his wife.  Thank you for the wonderous blessing of new life.  Amen.

    They have not been able to hold him because his lungs are not fully inflated and they have taken x-rays to check for fluid in his lungs.  Waiting for pediatrician to arrive.

    I just saw where Elizabeth, KK has gone to be with our Father.  God does keep the circle of life going according to His plan.

    Thank you Grace, your words about the Lord delivering Elizabeth finally broke my pain and allowed me to cry. I know she didn't 'believe' in God, but how surprised is she now??? Ursula and Chloe would have met her at the Rainbow Bridge and Jesus would have welcomed her into His garden. I know He is a forgiving God, how He must love greeting those who were't too sure....

    This was in the last PM I recieved from KK 3 weeks ago:

    "And thank-you very much for you prayers.  They're a beautiful thing coming from you.  Hugs,

    Elizabeth"

    I felt encouraged by those words, that her heart wasn't closed.

    The thing about that picture reminds me of how we met you here, Grace & within just a few weeks, Matt was back in the Lord's arms with the love of you & DH holding him up, while poor MomMeece was stateside praying her little ol heart out!  God is good.

    I didn't know KonaKat very well, but I hope she was able to remedy her situation prior to being called.

    Everyone have a blessed day & Meece you 2 drive careful through the night tonight!

    CONGRATULATIONS Meece!!! What a beautiful baby boy! Continued prayers for Patrick and his mom.

     I didn't know Elizabeth (KK) and I am sorry for the loss of your friend and a fellow sister. Babe1958 ~I love your comment "Her heart wasn't closed, her head was just slightly open..." My family has recently lost a cousin (hit by a van on her morning run) and a week later an uncle. We know for sure that Jackie knew and loved the Lord, but not 100% sure about my uncle. I keep thinking about the scripture about not judging a "man's" heart and I think part of it is for us so that we don't go crazy fretting over our loved ones who have passed.  Their heart condition really is between them and God! Anyhow, I'm not sure if I'm coming across clearly but, like you, Grace's words touched my heart! (((hugs)))

    Oh Meece, I got home a bit early today and immediately went to see if baby boo was born.  Congratulations on "little" Patrick.  He's a big boy.  Prayers that all is well and will continue to go well.  Can't wait til you can hold him the first time.

    kcl65 I love your post about us not knowing and really, it is not up to us, it is between that person and God.  Our job is to be sure they know and then they make a decision.  When my dad was dying and went into hospice, I asked him if he had is affairs in order with God.  He said he did.  He was the warden of Louisiana State Pennitentary for 8 years, a clinical psychologist and an ordained minister.  Dad said, yes. His death was peaceful with no struggle (7 years ago).  I have learned that if I get in the middle of what God is trying to do and what I think I'm supposed to be doing, I may very well be getting in the way.

    I have a son in Ecuador doing field research for his Ph.D.  He knew and followed God until he went to college the first time.  My prayer for him recently is that in the simplicity of those indigient tribes he is working with, he will find God again.  I leave it up to God how that will happen and I am to be faithful to pray for him.  I'm actually excited to see how God will do this.
